The word "child" in Turkish does not contain gender.
In other words, it is not possible to express them with different words in the sense of "boy" or "girl" as in English. If you want to indicate the gender of the child, you can use the expressions as girl-child (kız çocuğu) or boy-child (er/erkek çocuğu). But if you just type ÇOCUK (CHILD) then this can be both a girl and a boy.
