It's a fact that social inequalities have a strong and negative impact on family structures in Haitian society. Children in difficult situations are one of the social problems resulting from these disparities. Minors in conflict with the law, who form part of the group known as children in difficult situations, are the particular group we have studied in the context of this research work. The situation of this category of vulnerable children in the country is very worrying, given that we have almost no structures to care for them properly. The CERMICOL, as the only center for the rehabilitation of minors in conflict with the law and which only deals with young boys, is stagnating in inefficiency and administrative paraplegia. As a result, the center is struggling to fulfill its mission, which is to rehabilitate minors in conflict with the law. This qualitative research project is an attempt to X-ray the recurring problems and major handicaps in this vital field.
