Impactul violenței în cuplu asupra copiilor [Articol]

Abstract

Domestic violence is a phenomenon of alarming proportions, present in all ethnic, social, religious and educational groups, the vulnerable categories being women and children. The dysfunctional family, affected by violence, cannot fulfill its roles for the harmonious development of children. Thus, they often have impaired physical, emotional, social development, lower intelligence level, being exposed to predelinquent behaviors, at risk of becoming aggressors or victims in adult life, and manifest psychological suffering. Special support measures are needed for the development of innovative programs for the needs of these children, for comprehensive strategies to protect the rights of vulnerable children, paying particular attention to children with disabilities, preventing and combating violence and promoting justice in the best interest of the child. As legal implications, at the time of the decision regarding the separation and custody of the child, the accusations of domestic violence must be analyzed first. There are numerous national and international regulations regarding domestic violence, human rights and children's rights, but when this violence will no longer be ignored, justified, and the victims will no longer be humiliated and blamed, we will have a real social policy, aiming for a good quality of life for children and their families.
