<![CDATA[The rehabilitation of children of former terrorism convicts is a critical issue within the child protection system, as these children often face social stigma, psychological pressure, discrimination, and limited access to education and a healthy social environment. To date, Indonesia has not yet established a rehabilitation model that specifically addresses the fulfillment of the rights of children of former terrorism convicts in a comprehensive and integrated manner. This study aims to examine rehabilitation models for children of former terrorism convicts through a comparative study of Indonesia, Denmark, and Saudi Arabia to identify a more effective rehabilitation model from a child protection perspective. This is a normative legal study employing a legislative approach, a conceptual approach, and a comparative approach. Legal materials were analyzed prescriptively through an examination of regulations, policies, and rehabilitation models implemented in each country. The results indicate that Saudi Arabia applies a deradicalization-based rehabilitation model through religious, psychological, security monitoring, and family strengthening approaches via the Saudi Counseling Program. Denmark employs a “soft approach” emphasizing social reintegration, education, mentoring, and community engagement. Meanwhile, Indonesia still faces challenges related to legal substance, institutional structure, and legal culture, which have prevented the rehabilitation of children of former terrorism convicts from proceeding optimally and have kept it sectoral in nature. The novelty of this research lies in the formulation of an integrative rehabilitation model that combines child protection, psychosocial rehabilitation, family strengthening, education, social reintegration, and welfare-based deradicalization.]]>
