Mustafa Kemal Ş., who works for a private company, filed a lawsuit at the Ankara 31st Family Court to obtain custody of his son from E.Ç., from whom he divorced a year ago.
PRESENTED DANCE VIDEOS AS EVIDENCE
Mustafa Kemal Ş. claimed that E.Ç. included their son in her social media broadcasts while dancing and made him dance with makeup effects. He also submitted videos and photos of his son dancing with his mother and grandmother in TikTok broadcasts as evidence in the case.
CHILD AT RISK
In the social services report prepared at the request of the court before the videos and photos were submitted, it was stated that E.Ç.'s boyfriend, who occasionally came to the house, slept with the child and the mother, which could have psychological effects on the child during his developmental process. It was emphasized that the child's best interests were seen as the most important priority and that he was at risk. The report pointed out that the defendant mother neglected her custody obligations regarding the joint child. The court postponed the hearing, requesting a new social services report to be prepared after examining the videos and photos submitted by the plaintiff father.
"HE NEEDS PSYCHOLOGICAL SUPPORT"
Father Mustafa Kemal Ş. claimed that his son was being made to perform with makeup effects on social media and was also being exploited by his mother. Mustafa Kemal Ş. stated, "My child is there, neglected, under bad conditions. He is being fed in an unhealthy environment. I do not want my child to live this way, under these conditions. I want my child to be rescued from there as soon as possible. We documented everything, we provided evidence. Despite the reports of the pedagogues who came to the house stating that the child should stay with the father and that custody should be transferred, the child has still not been given to us. My child is being made to dance like a girl, like a belly dancer on TikTok. Continuous makeup effects are being applied. When he comes to my house, he arrives with painted nails. I photographed and documented these and submitted them to the court. My child urgently needs psychological support," he said.
"WE ARE WAITING FOR THE COURT'S DECISION"
Lawyer Özge İrem Aksu explained that they submitted the videos and photos related to the child to the case, stating, "It was reported that the current conditions in which the child is living are not suitable, that it harms his privacy, and that the child should stay with his father. Based on this report, we requested that temporary custody be granted to the father until the case is concluded. However, we received a rejection. We are still unable to obtain custody of the child, and the legal process is ongoing. There is something called the best interests of the child. We are waiting for the court's decision," she said.
