GARDUNO ESPINOSA, Armando; OLIVARES DIAZ, Claudia e CUELLAR RAMIREZ, Alfredo. Parental decisions that endanger children: a common form of child abuse that must be stopped. Bol. Med. Hosp. Infant. Mex. [online]. 2010, vol.67, n.3, pp.238-247. ISSN 1665-1146.
Children, as minors, depend on the choices made by their parents on their behalf. In the vast majority of cases, parental decisions are beneficial to their children but regarding health issues, harmful determinations are often made. This may result in total harm of children, which may even result in the death of a child. Thus, the legal situation of children in Mexico is presented here and grants them the right to receive the most optimal treatments, even against their parents wishes. This premise is also upheld internationally.
