Turkish parliamentary investigations into child safety

Overview

A Turkish parliamentary research commission has highlighted significant concerns regarding child safety, crime, and bullying. Initial findings presented by a commission chaired by AK Party MP Yusuf Beyazıt revealed that 683,823 children were involved in crimes over a single year, noting a recidivism rate of approximately 80% within two to three years of release. The commission emphasized the need for protections against digital threats and harmful online content.

Subsequent reports from the Grand National Assembly detailed the prevalence of peer bullying among children aged 6 to 17, estimating that 13.8% of this demographic experiences bullying. The most frequent form reported was mockery, while physical violence and social exclusion were also noted. The data indicated that children with functional difficulties, such as learning or communication challenges, face a significantly higher risk of bullying at a rate of approximately 27%.
