Street children are primarily victims and a result of errors in the selection of a development model that has focused too much on growth and regional development in big cities.. Medan City is a metropolitan city in Indonesia facing the problem of a large number of street children. According to the Child Protection Regulation, the Medan Government stated that the number of street children in 2022 reached 550.

From several locations in Medan City where children are used as places to earn money, in this research there are three points that are used as research locations, namely Pasar Raya MMTC, Terminal Aksara, and Alfamidi in Medan City. The results of the research show that poverty, parental pressure, social environment, low education, and the desire to have their own money are the factors behind street children in Medan. By working as street children, some street children have closed, indifferent, and lazy social relationships. The physical health of street children that the researcher observed shows that most street children experience skin irritation and are thin due to unhealthy eating patterns.
