Uskudar University Rector, Psychiatrist Prof. emphasized that the family factor and family education are important in pushing the child to crime. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan said, “In families that care about their children, the risk of the child being pushed into crime or being abused decreases. Parental control over the child acts as a deterrent to substance use. "When we look at the addiction risk groups, we see that the risk includes children with weak family ties," he said. The number of children increased by 10% compared to the previous year and reached 333 thousand 435. Evaluating the situation, Üsküdar University Rector, Psychiatrist Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan pointed out the importance of family education.
Prof said, "There is no guilty child, there are children pushed into crime." Dr. Nevzat Tarhan stated that children should never be labeled or stigmatized if they commit a crime, and said that children already tend to label themselves. Prof. Dr. Tarhan emphasized that otherwise the situation would negatively affect the spiritual and physical development of children.
The child cannot be held responsible
Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan pointed out that children who are unprotected by nature are pushed into crime. Emphasizing that the protection of the child is given to the mother and father in the convention on children's rights, Tarhan reminded that the mother and father are primarily responsible for the child. Noting that children sometimes commit crimes as a result of the negligence of their parents, Tarhan said that in these cases, children are not criminally responsible. . For this reason, Tarhan said, "Instead of calling the child a criminal, it is more accurate to use the concept of a child pushed into crime." Tarhan said that this situation caused a traumatic effect on the child. Prof. dr. Nevzat Tarhan said, “Just as a bullet wound does not fully heal on the body and leaves a scar, sexual neglect and abuse experienced by the child has the same effect. It creates a traumatic effect. When you look at it, the abuse in this direction is usually done by the first degree relative. The child perceives this as a show of love. This is bleeding into society moment wound. Here, parents have important duties regarding education. Parents should be able to provide the necessary education to their children. "The wrong attitude of the parents can lead the child to abuse," he said.
The risk of substance use in the child of the relevant parents is low Emphasizing that it will deter its use, Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan said that when looking at addiction risk groups, they saw that the risk included children with weak family ties. Tarhan noted that the risk is less for the children of parents who take care of their children. Tarhan also pointed out the importance of family values and reminded that it is important for children to have goals to strive for in order to protect them from the traps of pleasure.
The role of the mother is important between the ages of 0-6
Pointing out that the age of 0-3 is very important in child development, Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan said that nothing can replace a mother in this age range.
Prof.Dr. Nevzat Tarhan said: “Nothing replaces a mother between the ages of 0-3. A stable, safe relationship with the mother is very important in the child's spiritual and physical development. The child's basic knowledge about life is love, values, secure attachment, self-expression, etc. It is learned between the ages of 0-6. In other words, it is learned from the mother or the person who replaces her. Taking good care of the child may not be enough. For example, although children are well cared for in nursing homes, it is observed that they have insecure attachment problems. Those children can experience sudden deaths.”
