Abstract
The family is the starting point, see the foundation of society. It is the environment par excellence where the interests of the child must be protected and then becomes the basis of any society. On this basis, the interests of the child must be taken into account in order to have a prosperous society. Thus, the protection of the interests of the child becomes indispensable in order to have educated men. This protection of the interests of the child can be done in civil matters but also in criminal matters to better supervise the child in the family see there. Only the protection of the interests of the child in criminal matters is the main focus of this study. However, since it was the child who was at the centre of the study, it would be essential to protect the interests of the child in criminal matters while taking account of certain aspects of civil law. It is then up to the legislator to protect the interests of the child in Cameroonian criminal law while taking into account the civil. Even as this protection can have pitfalls. Such a demonstration inspires the need for a reorganization of domestic law in the area of protection of the interests of the child, so that its operative part follows the legal philosophy of hierarchically higher norms. In order to achieve this, this reorganization must lead to the revision of the penal provisions. The inclusion of the interests of the child in Cameroonian criminal legislation is inevitable, with an impact on certain categories of children in the family.
