Child-rearing practices delimit relations of influence that may represent a risk in the development of behavioral problems in children. This research correlated child-rearing practices of families from a vulnerable community in Barranquilla with the mechanisms of moral disengagement used by their children to deal with conflicts. A favorable level was found in the practices implemented by families with children that have a low propensity towards the use of violence. Positive and negative correlations were identified between child-rearing practices and some cases in which children were morally disconnected. When parents promote the use of violence in managing interpersonal relationships children use less empathetic forms of moral disengagement, such as dehumanization and victim blaming.
