Child sexual abuse cases in Depok City rose from 71 in 2023 to 92 in 2025, and most perpetrators came from the child's closest circle of relationships. This study analyses parents' protective communication process, the family interaction patterns underlying it, and its enabling and inhibiting factors by integrating Lasswell's Formula, Family Communication Patterns Theory (FCPT), and an Islamic communication perspective as a normative layer. A qualitative case study design was used, with Pancoran Mas, Sukmajaya, and Tapos sub-districts as embedded units of analysis. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 17 informants comprising professionals, school principals, and parents and school committee members, and were analysed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. All five of Lasswell's communication elements were present in every informant family, yet the quality of each element determined the child's response. Consensual families showed the most mature protective communication, whereas the protective typology, documented among victims' families, was the most vulnerable. The main barriers were cultural and technical rather than religious, and message quality was distinguished by the manner of speech. Child protection is shaped by the convergence of communication process quality, family typology, quality of speech, and structural support.Downloads
