This week we have seen mistakes that cost lives. A minor murdered by his father. Today he would be alive if he had been consulted in a civil court that there was a sentence that prevented visits between father and son, because it was a case of gender violence. We also met Erika, a 14-year-old minor murdered by her neighbor, who had previously harassed other minors, although he was acquitted. We also learned of an aggressor in Jerez who almost killed his partner after beating him for hours, a minor, although the coroner says they are “slight” injuries. When he was arrested he was released. He had a history of mistreatment with another partner and the current one, out of fear, has not been out for days while she waits for him to be detained again.
In these cases there were antecedents or complaints, but nothing protected the victims. And when nothing has a remedy, it is rare to see dismissals or assume responsibilities. Even in the case of the murdered minor, the justice issued a statement where they dared to drop responsibilities on the mother. And we already know what happens to some mothers, who suffered gender-based violence, when they want to protect their children from visitation.

Nobody assumes except that the victims themselves, in their mourning, draw strength to denounce the institutions. This week, the Supreme Court confirmed the sanction of the judge who ordered the illegal arrest of Sara BB, and which was decisive so that she, even today, cannot be with her daughters. Previously, the Constitutional Court recognized that Sara’s right to effective judicial protection was violated, when she was illegally detained and frisked and humiliated with unnecessary and full nudity.
It would be nice if once justice was less corporatist if you want to build trust in her. Let him accept his mistakes. The laws, sometimes, go behind. But, in others, what fails is diligence or, in others, training. Y that does not depend on the available resources, but to assume that it is about saving lives.
