El acogimiento institucional prolongado o indefinido y su incidencia en la vulneración de los derechos de niños, niñas y adolescentes.

Abstract

Institutional foster care is a protection measure ordered by a judicial authority which is given in cases where family foster care is not possible and is carried out so that those children and adolescents deprived of a family environment belong to an entity, it is temporaryand is enshrined in articles 232, 233 and 234 of the Organic Code of Childhood andAdolescence, however there is no regulation that stipulates a specific time in such institutionsor the guarantee of reintegrating individuals to a family environment. It is necessary and essential to establish time parameters that guarantee children and adolescents their reintegration into the community. If a minor does not remain within his or her community orfamily, his or her behavior is uprooted and his or her rights are compromised. In order to avoidor remedy this kind of action of co-responsibility of the State, family and society, it is important to investigate alternatives to avoid the violation of rights in children who are subjectto institutional care, seeking as a priority the reintegration and restoration of children or adolescents in their own family circle, and subsequently determine policies related to family support and protection, as well as a summary adoption mechanism, whose objective is that there are fewer children or adolescents under institutional care.
