Objective. To explore the implicit theories that parents victims of violence from their children (VFP) to explain the onset. Method. An exploratory qualitative study was done following the method proposed by the Grounded Theory. Information was obtained from six Focus Groups guided by semi-structured interviews and analyzed using ATLAS.ti 5.0. A total of 42 parents, victims of violence-towards-parents (VTP; 18 fathers and 24 mothers) participated and were selected by theoretical intentional sampling purposive sampling from two contexts: one juvenile reform center and a private family therapy center. Results. Parents have three theories to explain the onset of VFP: (a) the theory of the absent student, referred to truancy as a predictor of violent behavior; (b) addict student theory, in which substance abuse (alcohol, cannabis and cocaine) works as the antecedent factor; and (c) the theory of the accumulation of stress, in which the presence of previous factors contribute to increased discomfort ("rage") that would precede the drug abuse and later violence toward parents. Conclusion. Parents report that the VFP begins in the first stage of secondary education. A common aspect of the three emerging theories is that VFP is triggered by some distal factors related to the environment surrounding adolescent, leaving aside variables related to family dynamics.
