O abandono afetivo inverso: seus reflexos na vida do idoso no Brasil e a possibilidade de responsabilização civil

Abstract

The present work deals with the inverse affective abandonment suffered by the elderly, which is nothing more than the abandonment of family members and guardians towards them, as well as the consequences that this behavior brings to their lives. The entire apparatus of the laws that aim to ensure their rights are taken into account, with the example of Law 10.741/2003 which provides for the Statute of the Elderly. This is complex since loving affection is not something that is mandatory, but the duty of care is undeniable, so we also seek to understand the application of civil liability of those who practice this negligent and omissive conduct, which generates so many consequences in the life of the elderly in several aspects. In addition, there is also a study regarding accountability and sanctions for those who maintain this conduct. In this way, we seek a more analytical view of the entire context that an elderly person is emotionally abandoned and, mainly, what can be done so that this conduct becomes less and less commonplace. Using, for that, the deductive approach method and statistical and functionalist procedure methods.
