We would like to inform you that if a child commits a defamation crime, the child must have completed the age of seven in order to be accused

If he reaches the age of seven and does not reach the age of eighteen, the Juvenile and Delinquent Law No. 9 of 1976 applies to him

In accordance with the provisions of the Penal Code, which state:

Article 62

A criminal case shall not be brought against a person who was not at the time of the commission of the crime, he has completed seven years of age and the age has been established by an official document.

However, the investigation authorities and juvenile courts may order the taking of educational or remedial measures appropriate to the situation of this event if it deems it necessary.

Article 63

It applies to those who have completed seven years and have not completed eighteen years the provisions stipulated in the Juvenile Delinquent and Displaced Persons Act.
