Children are a key factor in determining the nation's future progress. Ironically, however, a significant number of Indonesian children still live on the streets as neglected children.

According to a report by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), East Kalimantan Province had 6,644 neglected children in 2020. This figure is the same as the previous year but increased by 1.7% compared to 2018, which had 6,533 children.

By regency/city, Samarinda City had the highest number of neglected children in East Kalimantan, reaching 3,001 children. This is followed by East Kutai Regency with 1,479 and Kutai Kartanegara Regency with 679 children.

The Ministry of Social Affairs (Kemensos) recorded 67,368 neglected children in Indonesia in 2020. Provincial and regency/city governments must ensure that social rehabilitation for neglected children is carried out by each social service agency.

A neglected child is a child aged 0-21 years who has experienced mistreatment and abandonment by parents/family or has lost custody rights from parents/family.
