| M.J.G.G. v. Policia Nacional, 2024 - Colombia | 2023-00278-01 | Este caso se refiere a una demandante de 7 años que interpuso una acción de tutela contra el empleador de su padre, el departamento de policía, por no trasladarlo a una unidad de policía más cercana al domicilio de la demandante. La demandante vivía en un pueblo rural a tiempo completo con sólo su abuela y varios animales. No quería trasladarse a la ciudad donde trabajaba su padre porque la separaría de sus queridos animales. El tribunal debatió ideas sobre derechos fundamentales, procedimiento policial y el significado de "familia". El tribunal sostuvo que la policía violó el "derecho de arraigo" de la demandante y reconoció que los animales pueden ser en gran medida miembros fundamentales de una familia. | Case | ||
