Abstract
Child protection has been one of the main concerns of Hong Kong Law in twenty-first Century. However, the definition of child and the related presumptions have never been meticulously investigated critically challenged. In the article, I employ the Deleuzean perspective in questioning the structure underlying the formation and production of the concept ‘child’ in law. I will then propose a reform strategy that can avoid certain problems created by the concept while providing more effective protection to the powerless. I will also examine the feasibility of the strategy in Hong Kong.
