A pioneering child protection law will soon pass to the Spanish Senate for final approval, and will hopefully be published in the Official State Gazette of Spain by June.
A member of the Unidas Podemos party claims that the approval of the law puts Spain at the forefront of the protection and promotion of the rights of children, and that Spain could become a benchmark for the world.
The new legislature will extend the statute of limitations on serious crimes against minors until they are 30 years of age. It will also prohibit the hiring of anyone who has previously been convicted of abusing a minor for jobs dealing with children.
It prevents parents from holding joint custody of a child in a family where gender violence has been observed, and provides a comprehensive care package for children who have been subject to violent crimes.
This pioneering law aims to train professionals, as well as judges and prosecutors. Minors will be able to participate in legal proceedings, and their testimony cannot be rejected due to lack of maturity. Furthermore, it will remove Parental Alienation Syndrome, which has long been thought responsible for undue parental influence over abuse cases.
