Abstract: This article explores and analyzes the neglect of cases of violence against children under Article 76C of the Child Protection Law in Blangpidie. This study arises from the problem of weak legal awareness in society, where acts of violence against children are often ignored or left unreported. This research aims to assess the effectiveness of enforcing Article 76C and identify obstacles to child protection. Using a qualitative method with an empirical juridical approach, data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed descriptively and prescriptively. The findings indicate that although legal norms are clear, binding, and valid, their implementation remains ineffective due to weak law enforcement, limited use of available facilities, and a permissive social culture. Consequently, child protection has not been achieved optimally because the law loses its effectiveness in everyday practice. This study recommends intensive legal-awareness campaigns, strengthening the capacity of law enforcement officials, and establishing accessible reporting mechanisms so that the prohibition against neglect can be effectively implemented in society.
