Resumen
Child maltreatment is a social problem known from the most remote times in history, manifested under different types or forms. The present investigation analyzed the psychological, social, cultural and family characteristics of abusive parents from the perspective of ecological theory. For data collection, a semi - structured interview was designed, an instrument that was constructed from the four categories proposed by the theory and known as macrosystem, exosystem, microsystem and ontosystem (Bronfenbrenner, 1979). The participants were 8 women volunteers, whose children are under protection measure in the Usme Zonal Center of the Colombian Family Welfare Institute, for being victims of their mistreatment. The results show that child maltreatment arises from the fact that among abusive parents, there are cultural characteristics such as patriarchy, right and dominion over children, approval of abuse as punishment and acquisition of what is inculcated by religious beliefs; social characteristics such as overcrowding, precarious housing conditions, poverty, marginal social context and conflicting interpersonal relationships; family characteristics, how to coexist with a non-biological father figure, conjugal and parental relationships of conflict and relationships with distant extended family, and psychological characteristics such as few social skills, psychological problems, consumption of psychoactive substances and personal history of abuse.
