Abandono digital: danos neuropsicossociais e a responsabilização parental civil

Abstract

Given the growing use of social networks by children and adolescents, the question arises as to how parental responsibility can be established in light of advances in the Brazilian legal system, as well as civil, constitutional and jurisprudential understanding, regarding parental negligence concerning abandonment digital? For this purpose, specific objectives were outlined to demonstrate the neuropsychosocial damages arising from digital abandonment, in violation of the Principle of Comprehensive Protection of children and adolescents, as well as presenting the consequences when establishing the causal link, which is civil and constitutional liability, notably in the face of parental negligence. Furthermore, the final objective is to demonstrate how digital abandonment relates to the civil liability of those legally responsible. The methodology is hypothetical-deductive and the use of documentary means to support applied research is based on scientific literature on the topic, legislation, doctrine and Brazilian jurisprudence. The results demonstrate that, depending on the way they are used, social networks are useful tools for the full neuropsychosocial development of children and adolescents, configuring a collective duty, and, above all, of parents, to monitor and safely use social networks, as well as the State's duty to its effective applicability.
