N2  - In the protection of children’s rights, courts hold a pivotal responsibility in ensuring and upholding these rights, particularly regarding personal identity, family life, safeguarding against violence, and guaranteeing their full realization. Legal and psychological professionals recognize the pressing need to revive dialogue among specialists—magistrates/judges, prosecutors, and psychologists—since courts often represent an alien and authoritative space for children. Employing a multidisciplinary approach can help deliver justice that truly meets children’s needs and can encourage courts and prosecutors to explore alternative ways of resolving such cases. This article emphasizes the crucial role of psychological assessment in guiding magistrates’ decisions, always prioritizing the best interest of the minor. Because children often experience courts as intimidating and unfamiliar, effective collaboration between magistrates, psychologists, social workers, counselors, and medical personnel is essential to achieve a tailored, high-quality act of justice that accounts for the specific needs of each child.
