What would it mean if a "minor pain" was validated for a child: what would be frivolous for fifteen years for a baby – death

retreat

Ausra Kurienė, founder and director of the Children's Aid Center, asked us to find out how we want to raise our children. "It is now suggested to add" intense pain "to the word" pain. "But the pain is not objectively measurable.Every fifteen years there will be a slight pain, death is a baby. By introducing such strange concepts, we are distorting the image, "said A.Kurienė. According to her, the time has not come to consider what violence is, and is not, because the world has long decided. "No need to change the concept.It is necessary to hear the needs of families and provide services in time and place," said a psychologist.

She was also supported by Karlis Levickaitė, director of the public health program "Mental Health Perspective". According to her, the cancellation of the corrections will only slow down to become a bigger foam. "Physical and emotional violence has long-term consequences, which is not the highest suicide rate in Lithuania at all.The magnitude of the violence in our country is enormous. calls per day per child One in six is ​​a child, which means that more than half of all violent crime occurs in a nearby environment, "said the director. She pointed out that compared to 2016, 2017 the number of reported cases of violence against children has doubled. "The community has started to react to what should not happen, if we cancel the amendments now and say that it is possible to crack down a bit, we will stop this process", – said K. Levickait.

Teachers can also beat children?

Liudovika Pakalkaitė, National Director of the Society of SOS Children's Villages in Lithuania, said that when a law to ban children was pbaded a year ago, parents asked them how they would have need to educate their offspring. "It was difficult for parents to learn to behave differently, but they learned a lot because they wanted to become different, so we can not go back now. talk and that we do not let the fight go off, somebody clings to his legs, so it's normal to hit a little man ", – asked the director rhetorically.

Rasa Dičpetrienė, Executive Director of Save the Children, said that if the corrections were canceled, we would return to an appalling situation because it would mean that violence against children will be legalized. "The word" meaningful "means that we are going to allow children to cause mild pain, not just pain in the immediate environment, but in the public as well, which means that teachers, trainers and Bus controllers will be able to inflict minor pain on your children and we should note that this is in contradiction with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, "said Dičpetrienė.

According to Robertas Povilaitis, director of the line for children, children who have had four negative experiences are 12 times more likely to kill them than those who have had them. He acknowledged that providing family services hurts, but that does not mean the law needs to be changed. "There are measures to help prevent such incidents, for example, in other countries, there is a nursing-family partnership, nurses trained for pregnant women who are in financial difficulty are the only ones who abuse There are more programs of this type, the question is when will we start to apply them, "said R. Povilaitis.

Need to educate, not to punish

The mother of two took part in the conference and Agnė Grigaliūnienė, who is responsible for the radio broadcasts, spoke out in favor of the law not being changed, but worried about its implementation. "We are all against unfounded child abuse and deprivation of the family.We understand that no law enforcement will be perfect during the day.Children can not be beaten.We are doing now a step back, "taught A.Grigaliūnienė.

Algirdas Gataveckas, the artist, said that he was upset not only by this situation, but also by the use of the terms "normal family" and "abnormal family". "There are violent and non-violent people, we came here to talk about very painful events when a child is left on his shoulder, with burns, rather than in isolated cases where the services are not working well. Where are the picketers when children need help? I understand that we do not all want violence, but now the situation is really bad.I personally strive to get the most possible customers, but they do not panic.Who will determine what damages were caused to these customers? These people who only look at their own garden and, God forbid, the neighbor will he invite the rights of children at the sound? I lived on the third floor, second floor I heard noises.I called the police.It turns out that the apartment was locked grand- mother with a broken leg, you have to learn how to educate, but not to I'm talking about everything, "said A.Gataveckas.
