Descripción:The main objective of this article is to show evidence of internalization on the part of legislation regarding the abandonment of Costa Rican children. It also intends to demonstrate the control from the State exercised over women and families who had difficulties complying with the obligations set by legislation with regards to children’s care. In the end, the Costa Rican judges legitimized their influence on the population by assigning children taken from their parents to persons of the same economic, political and social levels. Qualitative analysis of files of the Police and Juzgado Primero del Crimen province of San José found in the Archivo Nacional del Costa Rica (ANCR) was used. One of the conclusions reached by the work is that the State controlled the parents by giving them obligations over their children and also controlled the women by assigning them socially assigned functions. The above exposed them to even greater social control and vigilance.
