<![CDATA[This article examines the legal qualification of local government omission in supervising the operational licensing of daycare facilities, with reference to the cases of toddler maltreatment at Wensen School Depok (August 2024) and the comparable incident in Yogyakarta (April 2026). The research is normatively juridical and combines statutory, conceptual, and case approaches, drawing on Article 28B paragraph (2) and Article 28I paragraph (4) of the 1945 Constitution, Law Number 30 of 2014 concerning Government Administration, and Supreme Court Regulation (PERMA) Number 2 of 2019. The analysis demonstrates that the toleration of unlicensed daycare operations by competent regional authorities exceeds the boundary of administrative infraction and fulfils the qualification of an Unlawful Act by the Government (Onrechtmatige Overheidsdaad). The novelty of the study lies in the transplantation of the doctrine of vicarious liability from Article 1367 of the Indonesian Civil Code (KUHPerdata) into administrative adjudication, thereby constructing an integrated litigation route through which a local government may be subjected to joint civil liability before the Administrative Court (PTUN). The study recommends the institutionalisation of a proactive periodic supervisory mechanism at the regional level and the issuance of executory rulings ordering the allocation of regional budget (APBD) funds for the medical and psychological rehabilitation of child victims]]>
