Lately the media are repeatedly reflecting a historical problem in our country that has been known by the name of "stolen children" and is already causing some alarm.
This is a matter of concern to historians of childhood in our country, although one can distinguish different stages and with different responses and successes in each historical situation. It is our intention to now a historical record, much less, but recommend the study of social work researchers with great rigor and quality in this area are making, when addressing the problems of children. It would be a good preventive measure to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of different systems, to avoid steps announced immediately suspended without any explanation.
However, the past is the subject of this reflection, but the present and the legal bases that are being presently in the near future as in the cases of foster care and / or residential and other practices common denominator of improvisation and the breaking of ties.
why we call a reflection on the consideration that the law is known as the cheek (International Adoption Act 54/2007) which states that after the expiration of two years, fell the right of parents of a child who has been declared in distress application or opposition to the decisions or actions taken for the protection of minors. Thus, on one hand, it punishes the child, with the breaking of ties with their parents, and other punishments for parents who are in a recovery process that can take up to two years. Conversely, it also provides that the declaration of abandonment may be revoked and the child may return to his family if it is not stably integrated into another family, which can create a child's helplessness and / or family.
There are a number of situations that are causing a divergence in performance ministry responsible legislative institutions of the activity with minors, families, social services, school, autonomous bodies, associates ... that will shortly produce a distrust and suspicion among themselves complicated solution of the most important of the enormous loss short time in the lives of children, determining a difficult and complicated personal development for themselves and society.
Another concern of legal order on which we need to reflect and inclusion in the immigration law (Law 2 / 2009 of December 11, amending the Organic Law 4 / 2000 11, January on the rights and freedoms of foreigners in Spain and their social integration) of the possibility of supervision by NGOs of unaccompanied minors. Should be reconsidered its possible unconstitutionality. In that sense, it has been sent to the Ombudsman a letter to bring to your attention our concern about this issue.
As you can see these issues are known before the economic crisis and call into question the state's ability to resolve those issues that compromise philosophy and ideology of the parties and on the other hand the commitment and obligations that the state has the legal mandate, making the issue of "stolen children" in a constant. No doubt the good intentions but the historical perspective and requires a careful analysis of state responsibility that is inexcusable, then and now.
