Amaç: Bu çalışmada, pandemi sırasında çocuk cinsel istismarı bildirim özelliklerini ve ilişkili faktörleri pandemi öncesiyle karşılaştırmalı olarak değerlendirmeyi amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya Çocuk İzlem Merkezine (ÇİM) başvuran 506 çocuk ve ergen dahil edilmiştir. Çalışma ve kontrol grupları başvuru zamanına göre belirlenmiştir (pandeminin ilk 15 ayında ve pandemiden önceki 15 aylık zaman diliminde). Veriler, dosya incelemeleri, adli soruşturma raporları, aile değerlendirme raporları ve yasal süreçte çocuğun dosyasındaki diğer belgeler incelenerek retrospektif olarak toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Pandemi döneminde ÇİM’e başvuran vakalarda %16’lık bir azalma gözlendi. Öğretmenler aracılığıyla yapılan bildirimlerin %30’dan %4,7’ye düştüğü belirlendi. Çevrimiçi platformlar üzerinden gerçekleşen istismarın iki kat arttığı tespit edildi. Karantina döneminde tekrarlayan aile içi istismarda anlamlı bir artış görüldü (p<0,001). Sonuç: Pandemi, ÇİM’e başvuru türünü ve istismarın spesifik özelliklerini değiştirmiştir. Öğretmenler ve kamu çalışanları gibi profesyoneller aracılığıyla yapılan bildirimlerde azalmaya yol açmıştır. Ayrıca, istismar türünde çevrimiçi platforma doğru bir kaymaya ve aile içi gerçekleştirilen tekrarlayan istismarlarda artışa yol açmıştır. Bu değişikliklerin etkilerinin pandemi sonrasında da devam edebileceği düşünülmektedir.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 QUARANTINE ON CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE: EXPERIENCE OF CHILD ADVOCACY CENTER

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the characteristics of child sexual abuse reports and the affecting factors during the pandemic compared to the pre-pandemic period. Materials and Methods: The study included 506 children and adolescents admitted to the Child Advocacy Center (CAC). Case and control groups were determined according to the time of admission (first 15 months of the pandemic and 15 months before the pandemic). The data were obtained by retrospectively examining the files, forensic investigation reports, family evaluation reports, and other documents in the files of the children in the legal process. Result: Cases applied to CAC during the pandemic decreased by 16 percent. Sexual abuse reported by teachers and professionals such as public servants decreased from 30% to 4.7%. However, abuse through online platforms doubled. Finally, recurrent domestic abuse increased significantly during quarantine (p<0.001). Conclusion: The pandemic changed the way CAC is admitted and the specifics of abuse. The teachers and public servants reported fewer incidences of sexual abuse during the pandemic period. In addition, the form of abuse shifted to the online platform, and recurrent domestic abuses have increased. Professionals working in the field of sexual abuse should keep in mind that the possible effects of these changes may continue after the pandemic.
