When more than one crime committed against a child is evaluated together, joint rules and compound crime are applied.
Typical Scenarios
- Child abuse + detention (TCK article 109)
- Child abuse + threat
- Injury + threat
- Domestic violence + sexual abuse
Punishments Combination
- Generally real association (separately)
- In some cases, compound crime (Art. 43)
- Same intention → chain
- Different intention → separate penalties
Child Protection
- General Directorate of Children's Services comes into play
- Removal from the family (temporary loss of custody)
- Protective family / dormitory
- Treatment and rehabilitation
Supreme Court 14. CD
14. CD adopts that in compound crimes against children, evaluating "each crime separately" can only create a chain crime if there is a common purpose.
