La responsabilidad de los alimentantes subsidiarios de la tercera edad en la legislación ecuatoriana.

Abstract

In the Republic of Ecuador the right of children and adolescents, has a special protection within the regulations of the country, among the main guarantees is their right to ensure a nutritious, balanced and sufficient food that must be granted according to the regulations in the first place by the main feeders, secondly, as a form of security on the part of the legislator, the grandparents were given, who would be called subsidiary feeders. Grandparents are people who in their great majority oscillate an age greater than 65 years, therefore, they would be part of a group violated with a special protection granted by the Constitution of Montecristi, putting them in a legal situation quite on par with that of children and adolescents according to our internal regulations, for this reason, it is quite illogical that the provisions present in the regulations where it is ruled that in case of impossibility on the part of the main obligors, the second in the line called to repay economically are the grandparents, pampering that mostly due to their physical situation, economic only have necessary resources to solve their own expenses and needs.
