The “necessary review” of the protection system for minors in a situation of desert and their return to their family of origin: especially, the reception of unaccompanied migrant minors.

Abstract

This study will focus on the analysis of ex lege foster care and guardianship by the public entity entrusted with the protection of minors in the respective territory. Likewise, with regard to unaccompanied foreign minors, we will study Royal Decree-Law 2/2025, of March 18, and the consequences of the distribution of unaccompanied foreign minors. Regarding foster care regulated by the Civil Code, we will study the Bill to amend the Civil Code presented by the Vox Parliamentary Group in the Congress of Deputies for the protection of minors in care in situations of neglect. To this end, we will analyze whether a reform of the protection system for minors at risk and in situations of neglect is necessary based on current or future regulations.
