Drug abuse is still a serious problem in Indonesia. Narcotics or drug cases target all groups, including teenagers and children. Their involvement is not only as an abuser, but also used as a dealer. The high number of abuse and cases of narcotics distribution has become a serious problem the governments efforts to achieve the goals of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). One of the points of the SDGs is ensuring a healthy life and supporting welfare for all ages. To realize this, one of them is through the target of strengthening the prevention and treatment of abuse of dangerous substances, including narcotics abuse and the dangerous use of alcohol. Efforts to prevent narcotics abuse through a criminal law approach are through a serious law enforcement process considering that this case is a serious crime. The problem is when narcotics abuse offenders are children who under no circumstances must obtain protection, including when dealing with legal proceedings. Meanwhile, the criminal act of narcotics abuse is a serious crime with a threat of punishment that is high enough so that diversion is not possible as one of the mechanisms for resolving children in the criminal justice system. Investigation of children involved in narcotics cases, especially as dealers, will continue to be carried out an investigation process based on the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP) while still paying attention to childrens rights as a form of child protection in the criminal justice system. Investigations are carried out by investigators at the Drug Investigation Unit or Unit who have experience in investigating children. In terms of treatment during the investigation carried out very carefully with regard to the interests and rights of children.
