Background and Aim: In cyberspace due to its features and capacities such as cross-border, attractiveness, great variety, anonymity of users and also the ease of doing, people easily commit crimes. Therefore, considering these characteristics, we see a significant increase in the number of crimes committed by children and teenagers in this area. Considering the poor culture and education of the correct use of new technology opportunities, in less developed countries, this has become a serious threat in the process of children's socialization. In this regard, by developing child rights clinics as much as possible, their capacity to enter into various issues related to children's rights; including education and promotion of children's rights in the field of cyber, counseling, legal assistance, psychological counseling, social work and the management of children's threatening injuries in cyber space, which are actually the philosophy of establishing child rights clinics.
Method: This research was written with descriptive analytical method and using library sources.
Results: The findings indicate that, while Iran's legislative system has many gaps in criminal and legal protection of children and adolescents in cyberspace, besides children, in many cases, adults also do not have much media literacy. In order to solve these problems, child rights clinics and affiliated and responsible organizations should take effective measures to educate them.
Conclusion: Children's rights clinics can protect the rights of children and adolescents by raising awareness about cybercrimes and explaining the criminal nature of these behaviors to children and teaching them the correct use of cyberspace and managing this space according to the model of leading countries in this field. Defend this area and reduce the crime rate in cyber space by these people.
