The issue is known recently.
The news of child deaths we receive one after another shakes us all deeply. Not spontaneous deaths, which is very sad, but...
Deaths caused by human hands, which are indescribable and far from logic...
Even the phrase "human hand" here is enough to make us all angry. I know, from where I sit, I can hear everyone grumbling angrily, "Are they even HUMAN?"
But isn't violence a human act anyway? Things don't work like that in the animal world.
Whenever a tragic experience occurs regarding this issue in our country, the situation suddenly becomes a topic on the country's agenda. Especially these days, the news of the tragedies that we know are piling up so much that we can no longer entrust our children, who have to experience the depression of being stuck between four walls in city life, to even the most familiar faces, when the weather gets a little warmer. This is the story of poor children who are defenseless, unaware that they have paid the price, and who are deemed worthy of hell-like brutality in this world, as if they had committed the heaviest sins, while they did not have time to commit more humane sins...
CHILD VIOLENCE...
When we all are exposed to unexpected pain in life. We convince ourselves that we are paying the price for the many mistakes we have made. This seems like a reasonable and humble explanation for all of us.
But it is not possible to rationalize this when the child, who has not yet become wise enough to commit sins, pays such a heavy price. Maybe this is the real reason why we are so terrified in the face of violent incidents!!!
It is not possible for the child to be able to protect himself from the violence he is subjected to, not only because the perpetrator of violence is relatively physically strong, but also because the violence is committed within the family or by people close to the family.
Sometimes this is in the form of sexual assault, and sometimes the child pays the price for the feelings of revenge that have shaken someone's soul. It is up to his innocent body to pay the price for meaningless adult conflicts.
When such events occur, the most fundamental right of these innocent beings, the "right to live", is taken away from them, and this terrible violent act against them Emoticons cause all of us to experience many complex emotions, from shame to anger. We hope that the perpetrators will be punished in the most severe way, and we hope that politics will quickly take the most deterrent measures on these issues...
God knows; Every time these events occur, my language, which is far from slang, is filled with swear words, curses and curses on those who committed this terrible crime.
So why does history keep repeating itself? Are these incidents not decreasing or even increasing?
Society points out that the perpetrator should be sentenced to death penalty in the face of child violence. When a crime is committed and the being in human form that we define as a "murderer" is caught, "execution" may serve as a punishment, but is this enough? Does this solve our problem?
We all think that once the "creature" is cleared from the earth, its roots will dry up. Is it really so?
However; Pointing out the death penalty may have no benefit other than relieving the public conscience, and approaching the issue in this way may even cause the problem to grow, as it does not examine the real causes of the problem, but will somehow serve to cover up the reasons that could lead us to healthy solutions.
There are also acts of violence that continue in our country and all over the world, that some people may have been exposed to throughout their lives, that do not kill but make them crawl? Not only to children, but also from adult to adult, from child to child, to disabled and elderly individuals, to women...
Who knows what is happening in many areas of life that we do not see? We cannot put them on our agenda because they have not died yet and/or have not gained news value in the press. Shouldn't it be necessary to prevent them, or to put it more realistically, to minimize them?
Naturally, everyone does not even want to question an important part of the issue because they feel incredibly angry at the abuser, the perpetrator of violence, and they are right.
But the real question is; How can our child murderer, who was a tiny innocent baby many years ago, come one day and become such a dangerous and terrifying adult? How can a baby get so dirty while growing up?
Actually, these are the legacy of a terrible childhood; these are mostly people who were abused and severely neglected during their childhood. Unfortunately This being, which disgusts us all, is actually a victim, and this is actually one of the bad consequences of the increasing pollution of society.
Nowadays, the increasing individualization of society, rapid urbanization, the decrease in the importance given to spiritual values, the change in the family structure as we know it, and as a result of all these, people become closer to each other. Isn't this one of the consequences of alienation?
Since we are suffering all together, it is time to be part of the all-out solution!!!
It is time to be part of the solution, not to watch what is happening.
Otherwise How long, how many Eylüls, how many Leyla sacrifices will we sacrifice?
How? It seems like we need to turn the needle towards ourselves. Then we can get the right answers. It's as if the fuse of the solution is ignited when we take a break from the discourse of 'you solve it, it's up to you to solve it' by pointing the camera and looking for an answer to the question 'what should I do for myself to solve this issue?'
No one wants to ask themselves. The society will begin to heal and produce solutions as soon as it begins to ask itself the questions it does not dare to.
Media sources should question themselves, for example.
First of all, knowing that violence feeds violence, pay attention to the way death news is covered in the written and visual media. I wonder if it should be shown?
The media said, "Are we broadcasting this and similar news too much? Is the society witnessing too much violence in front of the screen? Are we thus making violent behavior too commonplace? Are we contributing to the desensitization of the society to violence?" For example, one must search for the answer to the question "?".
Media; Should they give messages that contribute to the acceptance of violence as a phenomenon that is not approved in its current form, but, on the contrary, condemned in society?
Should the producers of the series question themselves? Could it be that the children who watch the series take the protagonist, who is a perpetrator of violence as an example, as an example? Could it be that being like him, using force to commit violence against the weak, is conveyed to society as an encouraging element?
I wonder if young children's dreams are not of being 'a doctor or teacher who is successful in his profession', but rather of being a rich, powerful, feared, commanding person? Has being a "mafia boss" become an ornament anymore?
The perpetrator of violence is seen as a hero in our minds. Have the productions that are perceived as k increased too much?
The state should question itself... Are the laws deterrent enough? Should new regulations be made urgently? Will the baby be born in a country where it will feel safe from the moment it is conceived? Will all his needs and rights as an individual be secure during his growth and development period?
Parents should question themselves. Can they love their babies as they say hello to the world, unconditionally? Is the baby progressing towards becoming an unhealthy adult in a family environment where there is violence and lovelessness?
Educators should question themselves, how healthy are children in the education and training environment about LOVE, RESPECT, JUSTICE, NATIONAL UNITY AND HUMAN RIGHTS? Can they learn?
Every person should question themselves. Can we love each other unconditionally, regardless of religion, language, race or sect, without alienating each other, and can we enrich ourselves with our differences? Or do our differences increasingly trigger us to perceive each other as "bogeymen"?
Could it be that when we witness violence and abuse, most of us ignore the situations we witness? Could the child we ignore and move away from the violence we witness today as a "domestic issue" be the child who loses his or her life due to violence tomorrow? Are we informing the necessary authorities in a timely manner?
Academics, sociologists, philosophy masters, psychiatrists, psychologists, mothers, expectant mothers, fathers, journalists, political representatives, everyone should be united, shake their heads, react with sudden anger and the situation. We must do better than vomiting with anger by empathizing, getting to the roots of the problem together, collecting reliable data and trying to produce solid solutions.
The beings that disgust us with their existence today and that we define as murderers were once born as innocent babies like us. We must not forget that we must correctly analyze the social reasons that may cause their numbers to increase so much, we must determine well what the environments that facilitate their arrival are, and we must create environments that allow the baby to grow healthily from the moment it is conceived.
With love and trust. Children growing up in a healthy environment will become healthy adults of tomorrow.
As long as humans exist, evil may continue to exist, but it is possible to set a goal such as minimizing what is happening, and we must urgently start moving towards this goal.
Everyone, but everyone, lend a hand. should be put under the stone.
