A turbulent stage for child protection
The Directorate General of Children and Adolescents (DGAIA) is again in the center of the controversy after an alarming case of sexual abuse and prostitution that has shocked society. A minor under the age of 12 was the victim of a man who coerced her to prostitut himself with several individuals, revealing a disturbing landscape about the safety of tutored minors.
Escape and consequences: a system in crisis
The scandal intensifies with the revelation that the DGAIA allowed the young woman to escape with an older 10 -year -old man when she was only 15 years old. Social educators, alarmed by the repeated escapes of the center of Hospitalet de Llobregat, discovered on the telephone of the least tests indicating serious abuses. After discovering the truth, the family was accompanied to report the case to the Mossos d’Esquadra, thus revealing a pedophilic network with a minimum of 25 victims.
Implications for minor management
In addition to the severity of the case, the DGAIA protocols have been questioned in the management of tutored minors. The permissiveness that allowed the minor to escape with an adult generates serious concerns about the surveillance and protection offered to these vulnerable young people.
Government in the look: growing political pressure
The government of Salvador Illa faces intense political pressure on the part of the opposition, which has been demanding responses to the DGAIA and its irregularities, which go back to previous ERC management periods. The government coalition between the PSC and ERC has complicated the situation, as the Socialists seem reluctant to thoroughly investigate the scandals that involve them.
Deviations and irregularities
Irregularities in the DGAIA have been exhaustively documented by the Audit Office, which has revealed contracts awarded without transparency and transfer of public housing to private entities, as well as aid to minors who did not meet the requirements. Despite this, initiatives to thoroughly investigate the situation have been systematically blocked by the PSC, ERC and common in Parliament.
An uncertain future for the DGAIA
The dismissal of the Director General of the DGAIA, who was only in office for six months, has increased the suspicions of the transparency of this institution. The government argues that it wants to start a new phase, but each new revelation on the DGAIA only seems to deepen the crisis and question its ability to protect the most vulnerable.
Final reflection
With the growing concern about the safety of the tutored minors and the political pressures surrounding the DGAIA, the path to transparency and responsibility seems long and complicated. Society demands answers, and the time for reflection on the future of these services is now more urgent than ever.
