Abandonment and miltreatment of children: from the perspective of the state and the omission of legal duty.

Abstract

The subject of this article is child abandonment and abuse: the state's perspective and the omission of legal duty. The following problem was investigated: “how does the state address child abuse? And how does abandonment contribute to psychological violence?”. The following hypothesis was considered “in 98.2% of the cases, the rapists are the relatives”. The overall objective is “to report the true existence of cases of child abuse and abandonment with the increase in crime”. The specific objectives are: “how the tutelary council has a fundamental role in the denunciation”; “the risks within the domestic environment”; “and the traumas in the life of a child who is a victim of abandonment”. This work is important from an individual perspective because it is a topic of relevant moral and ethical value for the operator of the Law; for science, it is relevant because psychology can study the behavior of an adult or a growing child who has been abused, mistreated and neglected in childhood; adds to society by the fact that violence against a minor leads them to take justice into their own hands. This is a theoretical qualitative research lasting six months.
