* Is a coordinated work planned with the Ministry of Family, Labor and Social Policies to ensure that the trial is psychologically smooth for the child victim in order to protect the best interests of the child?

 

* How many abuse cases are there with law enforcement officers directly involved? Can you state how many incidents there are in which provinces?
