Berdasarkan Akta Kanak-kanak 2001, kanak-kanak boleh ditakrifkan sebagai seseorang individu yang berumur 18 tahun ke bawah. Kanak-kanak sering menjadi mangsa penderaan termasuk pedofilia kerana sikap naif yang ada pada mereka. Justeru, pengetahuan ibu bapa dianggap begitu penting terutama berkenaan penyalahgunaan kanak-kanak untuk tujuan seksual seperti pedofilia.Kajian ini dijalankan bagi mendapatkan profil ibu bapa mengenai pengetahuan mereka berkenaan pedofilia. Reka bentuk yang digunakan dalam kajian ini adalah berbentuk kualitatif dengan menggunakan teknik temu bual separa struktur. Seramai tujuh orang informan yang terdiri daripada ibu bapa yang tinggal di kawasan Pekan Dengkil telah ditemu bual. Data bagi kajian  ini dianalisis meliputi aspek profil responden dan pengetahuan ibu bapa berkenaan pedofilia terhadap kanak-kanak. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa pengetahuan ibu bapa masih lagi kurang berdasarkan kepada pemahaman mereka mengenai istilah, kewujudan kes dan umur sasaran mangsa pedofilia. Hasil kajian juga menyatakan bahawa umur bagi mangsa pedofilia ini diperoleh berdasarkan pendapat dan pengalaman informan dalam mengikuti perkembangan kes pedofilia  yang pernah dilaporkan di kaca televisyen, akhbar mahupun internet. Majoriti daripada informan berpendapat bahawa kanak-kanak di peringkat sekolah rendah sememangnya merupakan individu yang berpotensi tinggi menjadi mangsa berbanding individu dewasa disebabkan faktor kenaifan  serta kurangnya pengetahuan. Sehubungan itu, kepekaan dari segi pengetahuan ibu bapa amat penting bagi menjamin keselamatan kanak-kanak.
