ABSTRACT. The scientific work examines the experience of foreign countries in the field of administrative and legal protection of children from violence. The multifaceted forms and methods of state-authority influence on the sphere of organization of conditions for the full realization by children of their rights and legitimate interests provided for by the legislation of other countries are emphasized. The generalization of the foreign experience of administrative and legal protection of the rights of the child proved that the system of ensuring a safe childhood is inextricably linked and complemented by the activities of civil society institutions, which are engaged in monitoring the level of protection of children’s rights and formulating proposals for state authorities to improve the state of state protection of the legal status of the child.

The use of foreign experience in the administrative and legal protection of children’s rights proved the feasibility of: increasing the level of prevention of social orphanhood through the introduction of targeted social services at the level of the territorial community to families with children who need social support; development of family forms of raising orphans and children deprived of parental care; introduction of an effective system of bringing to administrative responsibility parents who improperly perform parental duties; introduction of elements of juvenile justice – specialized judges in family cases in general courts, specializing in handling cases regarding the resolution of disputes between parents about participation in the upbringing of a child, the place of his residence, the appointment of alimony, the establishment of guardianship/care, adoption, deprivation of parental rights or removal of a child without depriving parents of parental rights, etc.

Keywords: child, child rights, child protection, administrative and legal protection of children, juvenile justice, juvenile prevention, foreign experience.
