Background: The case decision Number 755/Pid.Sus/2021/PN Bjm involves Article 80 paragraph (4) of Law Number 23 of 2002, focusing on the aggravation of the criminal act, given that the perpetrators are the child's parents, specifically a stepmother.
Research objectives: This research aims to provide a juridical review of acts of violence against children based on the Child Protection Law and analyze the judge's decision to reduce the sentence for the perpetrator of child violence resulting in death in case Number 755/Pid.Sus/2021/PN Bjm, in relation to the Child Protection Law Number 35 of 2014.
Research method: The study employs descriptive analysis and normative juridical legal research, focusing on library-based legal research.
Research results: In the criminal case Number 755/Pid.Sus/2021/PN Bjm, the punishment for the perpetrator should have been more severe as per Article 80 of Law Number 35 of 2014, paragraphs 3 and 4. However, the judge's decision provided leniency in the criminal sanctions. The judge should reconsider the role of the mother and the relevant articles. If the perpetrator is a parent, the penalty should be increased by at least one third of the existing penalty.
Conclusion: The decision in case Number 755/Pid.Sus/2021/PN Bjm is deemed unfair and inappropriate for the victim's family. According to Article 80 of the Child Protection Law Number 35 of 2014, the maximum sentence should be increased by one third if the perpetrator is the victim's parent. Thus, the appropriate sentence for the perpetrator should be the maximum penalty plus one third, totaling 20 years in prison.
