Nasri Hamang,3 Rayamangsi4 1234 Universitas Muhammadiyah Parepare Abstract This study examines the handling of child sexual abuse cases at the Enrekang District Attorney's Office from the perspective of Islamic education.
Using a qualitative approach, data is collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation to evaluate the effectiveness of law enforcement.
The results of the study show that the handling of the case has been in accordance with the applicable legal provisions and procedures, but still faces obstacles in proof, especially when the perpetrator has a close relationship with the victim or limited physical evidence.
Islamic religious education plays an important role as a preventive effort through strengthening moral values and collective responsibility from an early age, which requires the involvement of families, communities, schools, law enforcement officials, and local governments.
This study emphasizes the need for periodic evaluations to strengthen inter-institutional coordination, monitor victims' psychological recovery, and assess the effectiveness of family, school, and community-based prevention.

php/au/index Evaluating Legal Handling of Child Sexual Abuse Cases: A Model from the Enrekang District Attorney's Office through an Islamic Education Lens Introduction Sexual abuse of children is a serious challenge that threatens the protection and welfare of children in Indonesia.
1These cases not only cause deep psychological trauma to the victims, but also highlight weaknesses in the legal system in adequately responding to and protecting children's rights.
2The District Attorney's Office plays a crucial role in law enforcement in Indonesia, including in handling child sexual abuse cases.
However, law enforcement efforts often face challenges such as minimal coordination between agencies, low legal awareness in the community, and limited resources.
For three decades, the issue of children involved as perpetrators or victims of violence has received little attention.
It wasn't until about 13 years ago that the government enacted Law No.
3 in 1997 concerning juvenile justice.
In addition to the need for a legal institution to protect children from perpetrators, efforts to protect child victims of crime were also needed.
Therefore, the government issued Law No.
23 in 2002 concerning child protection.
Children in emergencies may be at risk of sexual violence due to their high level of dependency.
4, where the ability to protect themselves is limited because they are not in control of their own attitudes, because they have little life experience, children are also more easily exploited, deceived and coerced than Depending on their developmental level, children do not fully understand the sexual nature of certain acts, and they are unable to give their own consent.

5 This data is not a national prevalence, but rather provides a snapshot of the urgency of services and case patterns in counseling institutions.
Thus, interventions emphasize prevention and psychological recovery at the community level and open up reporting access widely to the public.
The Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Service (DP3A) of Enrekang Regency reported that in 2019, the number of cases of violence against women and children recorded by DP3A reached 38 cases, in 2020 it reached 7 cases, and in 2021 it reached 17 cases of violence against women and children.
2024, based on the report of the Enrekang Regency Child Protection and Services Unit, there were 40 cases.
In Article 1, point 1 of Law Number 16 of 2004 concerning the Attorney General's Office of the Republic of Indonesia, it is explained that a prosecutor is a functional official who is given authority in the law to serve as a public prosecutor and to implement a decision in a court where there is legal force and other authority that is regulated in the law.
8The Indonesian Attorney General's Office is a state institution within the government tasked with prosecuting.
Therefore, in carrying out these duties, the prosecution must be free from various influences of power caused by other parties.
In this case, the Attorney General's Office is one of the law enforcement institutions, so prosecutors play a significant role in the supremacy of law, protecting the public interest, upholding human rights, and eradicating criminal acts such as corruption, sexual harassment, and so on.

During this stage, the Enrekang District Attorney's Office coordinates with the police to ensure the completeness of the evidence before the case is submitted to court.
As stated by an informant from the Prosecutor's Office:
"The Enrekang District Prosecutor's Office coordinated with the police throughout the investigation to ensure the completeness of the evidence before the case was brought to court.
The prosecutor also oversaw the investigation to ensure that the process complied with applicable legal "23 Law enforcement efforts often face serious obstacles in proving sexual The purpose of proving is to determine whether the defendant has committed the act they are accused of, a crucial issue in criminal procedure.
In establishing the truth according to criminal procedure law, the evidence that must be obtained relates to material truth.
The negative evidence system regulated in Article 183 of the Criminal Code states:
"A judge is not permitted to sentence a person unless, with at least two valid pieces of evidence, he is convinced that a crime has occurred and that the defendant has actually committed it.
" 25
This standard of proof presents a major obstacle because in cases of child sexual abuse, particularly those involving close family members, evidence often consists only of the testimony of the child victim and may lack strong physical This challenge requires extra effort in gathering and analyzing evidence from multiple sources.
As the case process controller, the Enrekang District Attorney's Office determines whether a case can be brought to court.

In every case of sexual violence, the Enrekang District Attorney's Office provides assistance to victims, both through lawyers and in collaboration with victim assistance organizations.
The informant stated:
"The legal assistance provided by P2TP2A Enrekang City in handling child victims of violence is by collaborating and coordinating with a team of lawyers or legal advisors who provide legal assistance to child victims of violence starting from the process at the Police to the assistance process at the Prosecutor's Office.
While in Court there is no special assistance.
In cases of violence, children as victims of violence in Court are represented by the Prosecutor.
However, if the child judge allows the team of lawyers to enter, then the team of lawyers is only allowed to act as legal advisors or only see the Justice System for the child because not just anyone can enter.
The team of lawyers are volunteers whose assistance must be scheduled.

All are needed according to needs and coordinate with each other to accompany child victims of violence.
"27
From these findings, it can be seen that efforts to protect victims have been carried out through legal assistance from the police to the prosecutor's office, although supervision at the court level is still limited due to limited access to legal Once the case file is complete, the prosecutor prepares the indictment for submission to the court.

Jamaluddin of sexual violence against children and the regulation of the right to redress for child victims of sexual exploitation.
The informant explained:
"It is commendable that the Child Protection Law imposes high criminal penalties for perpetrators of sexual violence against children.
Meanwhile, the upcoming Bill on the Elimination of Sexual Violence will establish a criminalization mechanism based on contemporary theory, allowing for the formulation of higher prison sentences, including special rehabilitation The penalties imposed will be heavier if the victim is a child.
" 29
One of the critical findings of this study is the profound psychological impact experienced by child victims of sexual violence.
An informant from the Prosecutor's Office explained:
"The psychological and physical impacts experienced by child victims of sexual violence are that they will feel afraid because they are doing actions that they have never seen or heard of, this can also be in the form of feelings of inferiority, excessive fear, mental development disorders, and ultimately result in mental retardation, anxiety, loss of self-confidence, no longer being cheerful, often withdrawing or distancing themselves from public life, growing feelings of hatred towards the opposite sex and excessive suspicion towards other parties who mean well to them.
" 30
Based on participant observation, child victims of sexual violence exhibit psychological symptoms such as depression, loss of self-confidence, low selfesteem, stress, trauma, anxiety, and profound fear.
These symptoms will impact subsequent personality development, leading to imbalance and a tendency toward passivity and isolation.
A key finding worth noting is that even when perpetrators are severely punished, child victims of sexual violence continue to suffer long-term psychological harm.
If treatment is not comprehensive and effective, children's growth and development will be impaired, and they will experience ongoing psychological harm.
This highlights the gap between "criminal justice" .

and "restorative justice" .

These actions include preventive measures and repressive measures.
Preventive measures include counseling, education, and public awareness campaigns about various forms of crime, including sexual violence against children within the Repressive measures, on the other hand, show how to eradicate this crime through criminal law or punitive measures.

show that child cases are generally prosecuted using criminal provisions in the Child Protection Law.
