A crisis protection system
The Directorate General for Child and Adolescent Care (DGAIA) is at the center of a controversy that has shown the failures in its responsibility to safeguard minors. The case of a girl of only 12 years old, the victim of a pederasty network, has uncovered a worrying situation that, according to experts and witnesses, could only be the most visible rally of a much deeper problem.
An alert that resonates between the ex -tutles
Several young people who have passed through the tutheling system have begun to share their experiences, revealing a ‘normalization’ of the relationships between minors and adult men in the DGAIA centers. According to an exutelada, these types of interactions were not only isolated, they seemed to be accepted by the environment of the centers.
Gifts and favors: a dangerous dynamic
A young girl named Judit, who spent her adolescence in a guardianship center, described as men up to 55 years old, approaching minors, offering gifts such as cell phones or clothes in exchange for sexual favors. This situation, according to her, was common and reflects a system that fails in its protection mission.
The lack of effective support
The recent scandal has caused an immediate reaction in public opinion, asking where the protection mechanisms were. Judit explains that although some girls had the courage to talk to the caregivers about abuse, many others were silent, fearing that their complaints were not seriously taken.
The rotation of educators as an obstacle
One of the factors that contribute to the ineffectiveness of the system is the constant rotation of educators in the centers, which hinders the establishment of trusting relationships between minors and staff. This lack of continuity can lead to an emotional disconnection, leaving the girls even more vulnerable to situations of abuse.
A commitment to change
In the face of this crisis, the Catalan Government has promised structural reforms to improve the situation of tutored minors. However, society wonders if these promises will be enough to prevent incidents such as the 12 -year -old girl from happening again. The voices that call for a deep change in the system are stronger, demanding effective responsibilities and measures.
