Child Protection Law: Stricter Penalties and Child Safety Measures

Turkey's newly enacted 7593 Law has significantly reinforced child protection and sentencing mechanisms. The law revised penalty reduction rates for minors in the Turkish Penal Code and introduced heavier penalties for 15-18-year-olds committing serious crimes. Individuals negligently storing firearms that fall into children's hands face 1-3 years in prison, while parental neglect leading to a child's murder or serious injury could result in penalties up to double the standard rate. Additionally, the sale of cutting tools to under-18s is now banned, and mandatory social reviews are required for children under 15. These sweeping reforms are seen as a step toward modernizing child rights and the justice system. How will markets react to this legislation? What are the broader economic and social security implications of these child protection policies?
