Street children have a negative impact on the stigma of child growth. Street children depend their lives on the streets because of economic, social or even family conditions that do not support their development. After the natural disaster, 28 September 2018 was the point where areas were affected, especially in the areas of Palu, Sigi and Donggala (Pasigala). The phenomenon that occurs when a disaster occurs, robs them of their finances, such as their homes and their livelihoods. The increasing number of street children will certainly affect the number of crimes committed considering the harshness of street life and the bad friendship environment can make a child who has never been faced with the law becomes a child who is dealing with the law. So in this case it is necessary to protect the law for street children.
