CARRILLO, Edith. The situation of children involved in family disruption in Mexico. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2011, vol.9, n.2, pp.561-572. ISSN 1692-715X.
The purpose of this paper is to provide elements for a broader discussion of the challenges faced by children who are involved in family disruption, and in particular, custody battles and abduction by a family member. To do this, there was analyzed the configuration of the familiy disruption from the narratives of the parents and the government employee located in the instances that have interference on this issue. The article seeks to demonstrate that although children are supposedly at the center of the dispute, in actuality their best interests are often times not taken into account. This is because instead of placing the wellbeing, of children first, gender and power relations between the adults involved overshadow children’s concerns in both public and private spheres.
