266Ileana RomanNo matter the type of the familial structure, the lack of organizationregarding the spare time and the control of the group of friends are negativefactors, which appears frequently, along with the lack of supervision or ofparent’s authority. Obviously, there are also differences between the three types,but they are not referring to the order of their importance, but to the relativefrequency of the negative factors: the organized family has the smallest percents,while the disorganized families have the highest.The lack of organization of the spare time, the control of the group offriends, the supervision and the lack of parent’s authority are elements that showthat the educational role, perhaps the most important role of the family, isn’tperformed. Not performing this role, sometimes because insufficient time isallocated to the education of the children, and most of times because theeducational incompetence of the parents, could generate more seriousconsequences than those regarding the non-fulfillment of some functionsconnected with the providing of the proper material needs.For the optimal functionality of the family is mandatory the presence ofboth parents, educational capacity and competence and proper relationships too.The structure deficiency (the lack of a parent or the presence of a step-parent),might represent an obstacle for accomplishing the functions, but it does notconstitute a negative etiological factor, because, the far we know, even somefamily with the both parents could represent an unfavorable environment in thedeveloping of the children, because of their functional deficiencies.No doubt that in the complete family could be found better conditionsfor assuring its functionality. In the disorganized or reconstituted families couldappear real impediments, due, most of times, to the increased negative factorsand to their accumulation.Concerning the minor delinquents, resulted from the disorganizedfamilies, the studies reveal the fact that most of them suffered from thedisturbing of the fundamental system of relations under the age of 7, such is theperiod of formation, when the parental affective necessities are mandatory 5 . Or,the other preoccupations of the parents, the climate that generates conflicts, themodification of the structure regarded objectively (the budget, the house, thechild’s possible changing of environment) or subjectively (the supervision,authority or affectivity deficiencies) have many influences in the personality andthe behavior of the minor and of the future adult. In the family, an excellentlyineluctable environment, the structure is quasi-organic. Each member has a placewhich can’t be changed, given by the nature or by the situation. Thus, therelations with the parents are given, not chose: the roles are pre-established andcan’t be contested. When a family brakes up, the child enters in a familial groupwhere the affective and the juridical cohesion is shook, where the offeredaffective and moral changes are insufficient or, often, inappropriate.
