The development of information and communication technology has increased the risk of child grooming crimes against children, both through direct interaction and digital media. Low levels of legal and digital literacy in the community are among the factors that increase children's vulnerability to these crimes. This Community Service (PKM) activity aims to increase public understanding and legal awareness in efforts to prevent child grooming through legal education. The activity was implemented through an educational-participatory approach, including legal counseling, interactive discussions, and simple case studies tailored to the community's conditions in Pangkalan Jati Village. The educational materials covered the definition and characteristics of child grooming, its impact on children, and the role of law and society in prevention and child protection. The results of the activity demonstrated an increase in public understanding of the risks of child grooming, children's rights, and the importance of monitoring children's digital activities. The output of this activity is an increase in legal and digital literacy in the community, which is expected to encourage the creation of a safe, legally aware, and child-friendly social environment.
