Danielle Dithurbide shares she survived a violent marriage and argues women also use children as weapons in separations.

1. Danielle Dithurbide en Fórmula airs on January 29, 2026, covering two stories: a historic vicarious violence ruling in Coahuila and Jalisco's integral care system proposal. 2. Host Danielle Dithurbide and co-host Vivi are joined by Dr. Johnny Emanuel Robles Martínez and later by Jalisco Deputy Gabriela Cárdenas of Movimiento Ciudadano. 3. The episode's core question is whether vicarious violence — using children to harm an ex-partner — can be perpetrated by women against men, and whether Mexico's institutions are designed to recognize it. 4. Dr. Johnny says he and his ex-partner were never married, lived in concubinato, and separated in 2021; a family court convenio in April 2022 established custody and pension terms that were never consistently honored. 5. From April 2024, his ex-partner relocated their two children — aged 7 and 5 — from Saltillo to Colima without legal authorization; colleagues from her workplace tipped off Dr. Johnny before she denied it to his face. 6. Dr. Johnny reported the planned move to the family court judge, who did not act; after the relocation, his ex-partner filed a second restriction order against him, citing family violence. 7. During the 90-day restriction period, she repeatedly called and video-called him, knowing he could not respond without risking arrest or a fine, an action he characterizes as deliberate provocation to manufacture evidence. 8. To build the vicarious violence case, Dr. Johnny says he visited the Fiscalía up to four times per week over many months, accumulating psychological evaluations, medical reports, and institutional certifications from chronically understaffed public bodies. 9. The only in-person contact he achieved with his children during this period came when his son was diagnosed with idiopathic short stature requiring growth hormone treatment — he told the mother he would deliver the medication in person rather than send money. 10. A Coahuila judge held an imputación hearing followed by a vinculación hearing; after reviewing both parties' evidence, the judge found all legal criteria for criminal proceedings met and linked his ex-partner to process on two counts. 11. Dr. Johnny says he has still not been told when he can see his children in person, as that determination lies with the family court judge rather than the criminal court. 12. He attributes his persistence partly to joining a fathers' collective whose social media presence drew other men and eventually mothers and grandparents in similar situations, including the national association No Más Hijos Rehenes. 13. He estimates that 90–95% of social media responses to the collective's videos are supportive, which he reads as evidence that Mexican society broadly wants children protected above all other considerations in custody disputes. 14. Deputy Gabriela Cárdenas, presiding over the Jalisco Congress Hacienda and Budget Commission, describes unpaid care work as representing 24.7% of Mexico's GDP — more than manufacturing (18%), commerce (20%), construction (8%), or tourism and petroleum (7%) combined. 15. She argues that seven of every ten care tasks in Mexico fall to women, producing economic poverty, time poverty, and mental health deterioration for millions of caregivers who receive no formal recognition. 16. Cárdenas describes a seven-year trajectory: starting with a municipal care regulation in Zapopan when she was a regidora, then embedding the right to care and be cared for in Jalisco's constitution, and finally passing the Jalisco Sistema Integral de Cuidados law with a cross-sectoral budget annex of more than 2 billion pesos. 17. The Jalisco Te Cuida program provides economic recognition, psychological support, and transport assistance to caregivers, and Cárdenas says it can serve as a national laboratory model. 18. The episode alternates between a live phone interview with Dr. Johnny and a studio segment with Cárdenas; tone is empathetic and journalistic throughout, with Dithurbide explicitly framing her editorial choice to give only the complainant's voice. 19. People who care for children, elderly relatives, or people with disabilities, and those interested in Mexican family law or social policy, will find this episode directly relevant. 20. Listeners expecting a balanced debate or the ex-partner's perspective will not find it — Dithurbide explicitly explains the decision to interview only Dr. Johnny.
