The paper studies the constitutional and legal nature of the child’s right to safety, which claims to be of constitutional value. Particular attention is given to the study of the doctrinal understanding of constitutional values as the determinants of state-legal phenomena that make up the spiritual and moral basis for the development of society and the state. The author considers child’s safety through the category of personal safety (as a part and the whole), which, in turn, is a criterion of social safety, which implies the protection of the whole spectrum of human values, rights and freedoms, including dignity, legitimate interests, protection of property, etc. Based on the analysis of the norms of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the author shows that the guarantees of the child’s personality safety are inherent in its text. The author concludes that at the present stage of the Russian statehood development, child safety is a constitutional value built into the overall safety system of an individual, society, and the state, which demonstrates the interdependent nature of the organizational and legal foundations of Russia’s national safety. In author’s opinion, ensuring a child’s safety in the context of constitutional and legal values presupposes the creation of a favorable environment for the life of a child in which it is impossible to infringe on his life and health, the formation of which is ensured by a system of guarantees, i.e. economic, political, social, moral and, legal.
