The method used is nonnative legal research. The implementation of press freedom in reporting is not in accordance with the regulations regarding child protection and the journalistic code of ethics because efforts are still being made by the press in reporting about children as a crime whose identity is published in both print and electronic media so that it has a negative impact both physically. and psychologically to children.
