Abstract
The following work is an approach to child and young people abuse phenomenon.It designs adefinition and describes differentforms of abuse (physical, psychological and sexual abuse; abandonment and negligence), considering also many signs related with each category of mistreatment.
In a situation where rights of children and young people are being affected, authoritiesare compelled to issue a transitional measure such as institutional care, which allowsrestoring the rights that have been dishonored.
To implement this measure, acare-provider institution is obligated to prevent abandonment by strengthening family ties andworking for a reintegration of the child /young person into their biological family; it may beconsidered the adoption process as an option, but just as a last recourse to provide a worthy home for the child or young person, ensuring a permanent family that will provide love,understanding and care to satisfy basic needs, allowing the child/young person to have a proper environment to grow;the adoption guarantees the best interests of children and young people.
