A 9-year-old child named U.M.K, who was delivered to a private institution called Mor Menekşe Autism Academy in Beylikdüzü for qualified care by his family, was allegedly assaulted. The family, who came to see their child, filed a complaint against the institution after noticing burns on the child's arm, bite marks on his shoulder, and various bruises on his body. The Ministry took action regarding the scandal at the care center.
In a written statement from the Ministry of Family and Social Services, it was noted that some media outlets reported incidents of violence against a 9-year-old autistic child at a private care center in Istanbul. Following the allegations against the private care center in Beylikdüzü, it was reported that teams affiliated with the Provincial Directorate promptly went to the center to initiate an investigation. The statement included the following:
"WE WILL CLOSELY FOLLOW THE LEGAL PROCESS"
"After the investigation conducted at the mentioned institution, an administrative investigation was initiated, and a criminal complaint was filed with the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office. Additionally, our teams have started psychosocial support services for the victimized families and their children. We will intervene in the case to ensure that those responsible receive the heaviest penalties and closely follow the legal process."
ASSAULT ON AN AUTISTIC CHILD
A 9-year-old child named U.M.K, who was delivered to a private institution called Mor Menekşe Autism Academy in Beylikdüzü for qualified care by his family, was allegedly assaulted. The family, who came to see their child, filed a complaint against the institution after noticing burns on the child's arm, bite marks on his shoulder, and various bruises on his body. Footage of another child allegedly being subjected to violence at the same institution was recorded by a nearby citizen using a mobile phone.
"8 AUTISTIC GIRLS WERE IN DESPERATE CONDITION"
The father, Recep Kaymak, who shared his experiences, said, "We researched this center on social media and various platforms and came to the conclusion that it was good. When we took our child there, we were told that 'our child would receive toilet training, speech training, and that our child would be in a better condition.' We left our child there so that he could express himself and receive toilet training. We had video calls with the child every Friday. During the calls, I noticed that the child was losing weight. When I asked why, they told me, 'your child is not eating.' Several times, when I wanted to see the child physically, they said it was not appropriate. They said it was against the rules," he expressed.
"HIS MOUTH WAS BLEEDING"
The father, Kaymak, who came to Istanbul to visit his child, said: "What I saw at the entrance of the Mor Menekşe Autism Center could have been the worst thing I could see in my life. When I went there, I saw 8 autistic girls outside with no slippers or socks on their feet, and one of them had fallen to the ground with a bleeding mouth. They were in a very bad condition. I asked a nurse there to open the door because we have a child inside and we want to see him. They said you cannot enter. We insisted. When we entered, they did not let us into the main building. But I said I want to see the main building. They did not accept this.
"MY CHILD'S CLOTHES DID NOT BELONG TO US"
They took us to the waiting room. The waiting room was filthy. While we were in the waiting room, they told me my child was sleeping. I insisted on having my child brought to me. My child came. None of the clothes on my child belonged to us. They had dressed my child in a piece of clothing and shoes they found at that moment. The shoes they put on him were 5 sizes too big. When I started to take off the clothes due to the bruise I saw on the left side of the child's neck, I saw bruises on his arm, shoulder, back, and ankle. You can tell that these bruises were caused by being hit with a stick.
WHAT HAPPENED?
The incident occurred last Friday at the Mor Menekşe Autism Academy located in the Gürpınar neighborhood of Beylikdüzü. Allegedly, when the family came to visit their children, the nurses initially did not want to show the children to the family with various excuses. After the family's insistence to see their child, they expressed that they saw bruises, bite marks, and burn marks on the child's body. The family claimed that the director of the institution, a person named Aybüke L., told them, "I just got here. I have nothing to do with this. We can resolve this among ourselves." Furthermore, the family claimed that a nurse named İlayda T. told them, "If you don't like it, you should have taken care of it yourself," and they filed a complaint against the Mor Menekşe Autism Academy.
