Law problems include government problems and responsibilities about street kids
rights for better health services. This research aims to know and gather data about
government responsibilities and the problems in order to improve health services for
street kids. This research uses normative method which gathers data from library
research and interviews some informants and qualitative method for data analysis.
The result offers some programs: children protection and control programs from
Labor Offices and Office of Social Services, and prevention programs from Office of
Education by training them, giving free tuition fee, and giving free health services.
The Government has limited expenses so some street kids can’t get formal education.
Besides, the other problems are the street kids willingness and their family financial
problems. Labor offices, the Office of Social Services, and the Office of Family
Planning have cooperated with some visit houses: Girlan visit house, Pambudi visit
house, and Diponegoro visit house. In there, they will get formal education, training,
and health services freely. However, there are only a few street kids that want to stay
in the visit house. They prefer living in the street to earn money. Poverty also
becomes the problem of Government policy implementation to abolish the worst jobs
for children. This research recommends Labor Offices, the Office of Social Services,
and the Office of Family Planning in Sleman regency to improve better control for
children who become street workers. They are trained well, so they don’t entrap again
in the negative situation.
