I'm thinking of "How can they justify the fact that there are...?" -- but I'd like something better.
Los valores como la solidaridad, la reciprocidad y el valor a la vida y en especial a los niños y madres, ¿Se expresan con acciones? En caso negativo **¿Por qué creen que se hay** niños abandonados y excluidos de la posibilidad de tener acceso a protección familiar, de la comunidad, sus actores y sus instituciones?

Spanish term (edited):
?Por qu� creen que se hay...
