[en] The violence perpetrated by children on their progenitors or child to parents violence is a phenomenon that affects families deep inside. Just a few years ago it was catalogued as an emerging phenomenon but nowadays we can already consider it as a reality that is very present and transcends families, since it affects social peace. There are plenty of specialized resources that should be applied to reeducate the violent minor and help the affected families, who in most cases endure the problem with despair and helplessness. If we add to child to parent violence drug abuse by the minors, the situation becomes even more complicated due to the fact that these toxic substances are becoming more and more sophisticated, powerful, and they circulate more smoothly. Not only can the violent minor take synthetic drugs but he can also consume alcohol in large amounts in a few hours, especially at the weekends combined with stimulant beverages. In this article we will approach to the VFP phenomenon, its incidence on the Spanish society and its connection with drug abuse.

[es] La violencia de los hijos a sus ascendientes, o violencia filio-parental es un fenómeno que afecta a las familias en lo más pro¬fundo de su ser. Hace pocos años se hablaba de un fenómeno emer¬gente, pero en la actualidad ya podemos hablar de una realidad que está muy presente y que trasciende a las familias, pues afecta a la paz social. Son muchos los recursos especializados que se han de emplear para poder reeducar al menor violento, y para poder ayudar a las fa¬milias que están afectadas, que en la gran mayoría de ocasiones viven la problemática entre la desesperación y la impotencia. Si añadimos a la violencia filio-parental el consumo de drogas por parte de los me¬nores, la situación se complica aún más si cabe, pues los tóxicos cada vez son más sofisticados, potentes y circulan con mayor facilidad. No solamente el menor violento con sus ascendientes puede consumir drogas sintéticas, sino que también puede consumir alcohol en gran¬des dosis y en pocas horas, fundamentalmente los fines de semana y en combinación con bebidas estimulantes. En este artículo haremos una aproximación al fenómeno de la VFP, su incidencia en la socie¬dad española, y veremos la relación que existe con el consumo de drogas.
