Due to some issues that we have addressed in the article ?Media treatment of sexual abuse is important, but how professionally are they being treated? We decided to discuss how similar situations should be handled and to what extent the media can intervene by transmitting the facts, statements and accusations of the persons involved in the event. The case of Adriana, 27, gained a lot of attention not only from the shocking events that she claims happened to her, but also for the reaction of Antonjeta Pero, who declared herself a psychologist at the Children's Home in Shkodra.
So far, the Orphanage, a state institution that has been charged with serious charges, has again not reacted to the case. Antonjeta Pero claims that she has worked and is working for a long time in this institution and on her Facebook she has posted some statements which can be many things, except for the statements of a psychologist.
In a status, Pero writes that ?the anger of the children of the Orphanage is why the parents have left them in the institution and they (the parents) live with someone else. But this will have the capacity to be understood. " It is unclear what Pero means by "capacity" as it does not make much sense to understand the complex or trauma that a child who grows up without parents and often becomes a victim of physical, psychological and sexual violence - documented in the media. these - but is the term "anger" appropriate? For a psychologist, professionally speaking, no.
In another status, she writes that "when they discussed sexual relations with minors, she explained to all children that rape is an operation without anesthesia." What does "operation without anesthesia" mean? An operation without anesthesia can be done by everyone, what does it mean that rape is normal? Which is painful? Even at this point, Pero proves incapable of explaining the phenomena because in simpler words rape is sexual intercourse without the consent of one of the parties, be it a man / woman, a loved one or anyone else known or unknown. .
Referring to the data on Facebook, Pero has served as a former executive director at a non-governmental organization, studied at the "teaching university" (it is unclear what faculty it is) and studied "psychology and social work".
She revealed the same ideas in the media, in an interview for "Kafe Shqeto", where, among other things, she caused a lot of ambiguity whether she is a teacher or a psychologist, because she refers to children as "students". During her communication, Pero denies Adriana's allegations, also violating the rules of professional ethics, if she is always a psychologist, considering Adriana "as a child with below average intelligence for her age."
The same argument that he wrote on Facebook, he said in "Kafe Shqeto" where according to her "it is not possible for a child to be raped and not to make a voice for this action". Such an argument can hardly be used by a psychologist, who is supposed to know all the ways a child / adult can react to a trauma such as rape. Allegations of sexual harassment or abuse continue even after decades ( Harvey Weinstein's case) because rape is not a "narcotic operation" that is forgotten when the wound heals.
As for the case of the guard, whom Adriana claims to have raped, Pero says that he is not aware of which guard, but on the other hand he speaks with certainty that behind Adriana are hidden other people who have media / political benefits to the House. of the Child and are using the 27-year-old. What benefits Pero does not know how to talk about, "because he left the case to justice".
What makes all this media hype obscure is the fact that in the Order of Psychologist, Pero does not appear in the licensing register , which is also confirmed by the Order of the Psychologist of Shkodra Region. On Facebook, it was written: Taking cue from Ms.'s personal public stance. Antonjeta Pero, with statuses on social networks or in various media, we inform you that Mrs. Pero has not been or is a member of the Order of Psychologist nor a licensed psychologist, in accordance with law 40/2016, article 7. As below , we respect every opinion, opinion, attitude of every citizen of the Republic, but at no time, carrying on itself a title which is previously given by the Order as a body charged by law. ?
As we said above, no representative of the Children's Home in Shkodra has given a public statement on the case in question and has not clarified whether Pero worked in the institution as he claims and if so, why without a license?
