<![CDATA[The dissemination of Non-Consensual Intimate Images (NCII) involving children constitutes a form of online gender-based violence that has increasingly developed alongside advances in information technology. The issue arises because the regulation of NCII involving children remains scattered across various laws and has not been specifically regulated. This study analyzes the regulation of NCII offenses involving children within Indonesian criminal law and examines the legal position of children as victims within the criminal law framework. This normative legal research employs statutory and conceptual approaches, analyzing primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials prescriptively through the Theory of Legal Protection, Victimology Theory, and the Best Interest of the Child principle. The results show that the regulation of NCII involving children is dispersed across the Child Protection Law, the Electronic Information and Transactions Law, and the Sexual Violence Crimes Law, none of which comprehensively addresses the specific characteristics of NCII, creating potential legal uncertainty. Children are normatively recognized as victims entitled to protection, assistance, restitution, and recovery, yet existing safeguards have not fully guaranteed sustainable recovery or digital privacy protection. These findings indicate the need for a more comprehensive legal framework that places the best interests of the child at its core.]]>
