A monoparentalidade diante das relações abusivas às crianças e adolescentes no âmbito familiar

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the effects of abusive relationships on children and adolescents withinfamilies, specifically in situations where one of the parents acts as the oppressor. To this end, theconcept of abusive relationships and how they manifest in contemporary families is presented.The study highlights the rights of children and adolescents, not only in terms of family interactionbut also as guaranteed by the Federal Constitution and applicable to all individuals. Conversely,the article examines the responsibilities and legal obligations of parents to ensure these rights areupheld, emphasizing that exposing minors to abusive relationships under the guise of parentalauthority constitutes a severe violation of legal principles of care and protection. In such contexts,the suspension or loss of parental authority may be considered necessary to safeguard the physical,psychological, and moral integrity of the child or adolescent. Therefore, in these circumstances,the establishment of a single-parent family structure, following the revocation of parentalauthority from the abusive parent, is defended as the most appropriate measure to ensure thedevelopment and well-being of this vulnerable group deserving of complete care and attention
