• The DGAIA, an agency of the Generalitat of Catalonia, is facing two serious crises that force a review of its action protocols.
• The first crisis relates to a case of sexual abuse suffered by a minor under the guardianship of the DGAIA.
• The second crisis is linked to an investigation for alleged embezzlement carried out by the Anti-Fraud Office of Catalonia.
• A possible fraud is reported by entities managing and controlling the aids offered to former guardian youths.
• A case of obstruction is mentioned when a social educator pointed out irregularities and was urged to leave the service.

Conclusion: It is essential that the DGAIA carry out a thorough review of its protocols and heal its wounds before looking to the future. The degree of social alarm demands a deep transformation to strengthen the protection systems of minors and restore its good name.
