The specialist added that another 30% reach these sites through the judicial system, because the behavior of the minor or adolescent has been difficult to manage.

How and why do children or adolescents arrive at a shelter or protection centers? How should this situation be handled? These are some of the questions addressed by the psychologist Soledad Sierra this Friday, on the morning news of Radio Panama.
He specified that almost 70% of the children who arrive at these shelters are usually due to abuse or abandonment, many of them come from families where there has been violence or the parents do not have the capacity to assume the responsibility of maternity or paternity; while there is another 30% perhaps, who come through the judicial system, because their behavior has been difficult to manage, but usually in these cases they occur in single mothers or a father who does not have the ability to control the behavior of the minor .
He explained that these situations of violence that are experienced in homes, sometimes it is difficult to break them because they come from previous years and pass from generation to generation.
