Removing a child from the biological family is the best option in cases of abuse, neglect or mistreatment, but this resource can be a new stressor, because of its possibility to cause imbalances in different areas. The aim of this study is to value how this situation impacts the children. In order to achieve our aim, we have carefully analyzed children’s sociodemographic and psychopathological characteristics, especially anxiety, depression and social stress. The study involved 116 children from Valencia, aged between two weeks and 18 years old received by foster families. Results, structured into three age levels, show that the foster care, although emerges as a temporary and preventive measure with the aim to return to the biological family, becomes as permanent. In addition, the child does not stabilize in a family and many of them are moved to a care-residency. Tutors consider higher levels of pathology in children under 12 years old than parents. However, between 13 and 18, this trend is reversed and the parents are who report higher levels of pathology, for both depression and anxiety. La separación de un menor de su familia biológica es la mejor opción en casos de abuso, negligencia o maltrato pero este recurso puede suponer en sí mismo un nuevo estresor capaz de provocar desajustes en diferentes áreas. El objetivo de este estudio es ver cómo afecta esta situación a los menores para lo cual hemos analizado detalladamente sus características sociodemográficas y psicopatológicas especialmente la ansiedad, depresión y estrés social. En el estudio han participado 116 menores de Valencia de edades comprendidas entre dos semanas y 18 años acogidos por familias educadoras. Los resultados, estructurados en tres niveles de edad, muestran que el acogimiento, aunque surge como una medida preventiva y temporal cuyo fin es el retorno con la familia biológica, se acaba cronificando. Además, el menor no se estabiliza en una familia, sino que se producen ceses y muchos pasan por residencias. Los tutores consideran niveles más altos de patología en los menores de 12 años que los padres. Sin embargo, entre los de 13 a 18, esta tendencia se invierte y son los padres los que reportan niveles más altos de patología, tanto para la depresión como para la ansiedad.
