Abstract
Children are the successors of the nation whose rights must be fulfilled, such as
the right to life and development. Childhood is a period that is very vulnerable
with various desires and hopes to achieve something or do something, including
negative things which ultimately lead to the wrong path (for example using
drugs). Especially in the border area (North Kalimantan), which can be said to
be the "entrance point" for the circulation of drugs supplied from abroad.
Therefore, when there is a deviation in children becoming drug users, the state
needs to pay attention to this problem. The rise of drug trafficking today
threatens growth and development, such as the physical and mental health of
the child. For this reason, the role of the state is needed to provide protection
for children to avoid the influence of drugs. This study aims to find out (i) how
to prevent drug abuse problems for minors in border areas; (ii) how is the legal
protection of minors in border areas who use drugs. The author uses a research
method with a normative legal approach, because he wants to research and
study applicable legal products and regulate minors in border areas who use
drugs, namely through statutory regulations. To support the objectivity of the
issues to be discussed, secondary data related to the issues is used, namely
books and various other documents.
