This study examines the exploitation of child buskers by parents from the perspective of modern criminal law and criminology. The involvement of children in street busking activities reflects violations of children’s rights, particularly when children are forced to work to support their families’ economic needs. The purpose of this research is to analyze the forms of exploitation committed by parents, criminal liability toward offenders, and the criminological factors contributing to child exploitation. This study employs normative legal research using statutory and conceptual approaches. The findings indicate that the exploitation of child buskers by parents constitutes a criminal offense that violates child protection laws and human rights principles. From the perspective of modern criminology, poverty, low levels of education, unfavorable social environments, and weak governmental supervision are identified as the primary causes of such exploitation. In addition to criminal law enforcement, preventive measures are necessary through education, family economic empowerment, and stronger social protection systems to prevent the continued exploitation of children. Therefore, child protection must become a priority in achieving social justice and public welfare within society.
