DIF debe informar sobre egresos de menores de edad

The INAI ruled that the DIF must publish data on youth exits from social centers, distinguishing planned departures from escapes or dropouts. This decision counters the DIF’s previous claim of non-existence, confirming that records actually exist and must be made public. Access to this information is crucial as it links transparency rights with children’s rights to dignity and safety from violence. The ruling mandates a broad interpretation, ensuring families and the public can monitor how minors reintegrate into society or leave care facilities. This case highlights the importance of open data in protecting vulnerable populations. By enforcing transparency in social welfare operations, it promotes accountability and ensures that administrative records serve the public interest rather than obscuring potential systemic failures or abuses within state-run care institutions.
