There were no reported cases of child abuse on this part of the Mediterranean island, the State Department said, noting, however, that "as with domestic violence, there were social and cultural disincentives to seek legal remedies for such problems, which observers believed were underreported".
Na tom delu Kipra nisu prijavljeni slučajevi nasilja nad decom, napisao je Stejt department. Ipak, napomenuto je da "kao i slučaju nasilja u porodici, postoje društvene i kulturne posebnosti koje obeshrabruju eventualno traženje pravne pomoći za te probleme, za koje se veruju da postoje, ali da ih niko ne prijavljuje".
