An approach to unprotected immigrants children and youths in the current context of economic crisis and precarious system of the Protection for Children and Adolescents in Navarra

Abstract

The lack of protection or difficult situations should be linked only to the more or less protective capacity of parental figures? or, on the contrary, the presence of other added circumstances should be considered? This situations, events or circumstances by their nature may lead to unprotected areas, beyond the will of the parental figures of reference. If this is so, we are talking about a system of Protection of Children and Adolescents with shared responsibility criteria. In that case, one might wonder what other figures, actors; institutions or systems have a direct involvement in the field of child protection? And what degree of responsibility takes each?

The answer, in the current socio-economic crisis and beyond political discourse becomes more complex, to the extent that sets out the framework for the protection of children in a legal-social space marked by shift from the welfare/care paradigm to the subjective rights paradigm.
