Abstract

From January to May 2015, National Commission of Children Protection has received 500 reports of children sexual abuse cases, and Indonesia is also mentioned as the tourism destination of pedophilia doers (CNN Indonesia, 5/7/2015). This descriptive qualitative study is aimed at investigating the parents' awareness in educating and detecting their children to prevent pedophilia, and also discovering the readiness of the investigators in dealing with pedophilia victims. The findings show that most parents do not have sufficient awareness to prevent and detect pedophilia. The investigators are also unready to handle pedophilia victims properly. It is suggested to community to improve its' awareness to cope with the pedophilia issue appropriately. Further, the increase of pedophilia case can be prevented by early sexual education. And it is the government responsibility to equip the investigators with specific skill and knowledge in dealing pedophilia victims who are still underage.
