Along with the times, it has implications for the development of a crime. Rape is one of the taboo criminal acts in society, if in the past rape was generally carried out by adults in this era, it is possible that children can become perpetrators and become victims of rape. Children are the image of the nation in the future who carry noble values and ideals of the nation. The need for massive and sustainable legal and non-juridical protection of children is the obligation of all parties. The crime of rape committed by children against children is a special case where the handling is certainly not the same as handling other cases in general. Seeing further that the perpetrators and victims are still minors, there will be many conflicts between the sociological rules and the juridical aspects in general, the role of institutions and law enforcement officers is needed for the creation of justice. In solving the problem of rape committed by children with child victims, then there are two interests and two rights of children that are confronted with each other, both of which still have a long future ahead so that in handling it must receive special attention, even though this cannot be immediately eliminate the crime that has been committed by the child. Ordinary people will think that rape is a taboo subject, because of this mindset, the victim will tend to be cornered and just remain silent without getting justice. Victims of sexual violence/rape have the right to obtain legal assistance and obtain justice for the rights of victims who have been violated. Then how important is legal aid for victims of child rape crimes committed by children.

This study concludes that in efforts to protect child victims of rape committed by children, both preventive and repressive protective measures can be taken.Legal protection for children as victims of rape requires efforts from the community and law enforcement officials.Legal efforts should focus on protecting and supervising victims if they face threats from the perpetrators family.Furthermore, non-medical assistance is needed to address the psychological state of the victim due to the trauma following the incident.The primary constraint in implementing legal protection for children as victims of rape is the age of the perpetrator, as children under eighteen years of age cannot be held criminally liable.

Further research should investigate the effectiveness of current legal frameworks in addressing child-on-child rape, specifically examining the challenges of balancing the rights of both the victim and the perpetrator within the juvenile justice system. Additionally, studies are needed to explore the long-term psychological impacts of child rape on victims and the efficacy of various trauma-informed care approaches in their recovery. Finally, research should focus on developing and evaluating community-based prevention programs that address the root causes of child sexual abuse, including harmful social norms, lack of parental supervision, and access to harmful online content, with a particular emphasis on culturally sensitive interventions tailored to different communities. These studies should also consider the role of schools and educators in identifying and reporting potential cases of child sexual abuse, and the development of comprehensive training programs for teachers and school staff.
