19 prematurely, as soon as they turned fifteen and sixteen, for they felt emotionally abandoned by their father. As regards the financial aspect, there was a profound change in their lifestyle and their possibilities to continue attending school, which were reduced. Ricardo and his wife Yaqueline’s children, who remained within the family group, have suffered their share of all the harassment. They have lived for years trying to hide and escaping, something which generates instability and insecurity. Ricardo Gutiérrez-Soler’s teenage daughters have not lived the normal life of a girl because as a consequence of fear they are forced to stay at home. Ricardo did not have an explanation for his children because he did not even have one for himself. The children resented the evasive answers from their father. Owing to this, they started to develop their own explanations, which led them to distrust their father. When they learned what was really happenning, it was as if they had managed to put all the pieces of their lives’ puzzle together. Ricardo’s children also had symptoms consistent with the events they underwent, the aftermath of which depends to a large extent on the assistance they may receive in the future. These children wish to resume studies as their great life project. The children of Wilson and Ricardo have been affected in their transition between adolescence and adulthood. Carlos, one of them, shows signs of depression and has a negative sense of himself, which makes it necessary for him to use professional help.

Yaqueline feels hopeless because this kind of treatment is expensive, and the longer it is put off the worse the condition might be getting. Early treatment can prevent pathological developments. The fact that Wilson and Ricardo Gutiérrez have not wanted to disclose the events to their next of kin follows a pattern similar to that of other survivors of torture. Torture victims “feel ashamed to share it with everybody else […] this is a pattern undoubtedly found in 95% of torture survivors.” The fact of having been rapes also determined him to refuse to talk about the events, since “for a man, a sexual assault like that suffered by Wilson represents an attack to his dignity, to his masculinity.” Mr. Wilson Gutiérrez “lost his ability to fully enjoy his sex life, which for a man of his age is quite regrettable.” The apologies by the State is “a way to restore the social status they used to have and they want to have; it is a way to reinstate the parent’s authority over their children.” As for the use of the events of the instant case “as an example in the professional training given to forensic physicians, to police investigators and to court officials,” the victim has always expressed his desire to help prevent other people from going through the same thing as he did, for which reason it has an enormous emotional and moral value, and could be a psychologically restorative one as well. Action aimed at restoring the “family social, psychological and emotional functional levels they used to
