36 impotence in the face of the public authorities' failure to investigate.”48 The victims’ next of kin will be considered in this dual condition for purposes of setting the compensation regarding this item. 69. The forced disappearance of the child Marco Antonio Molina Theissen caused his mother, Emma Theissen Álvarez Vda. de Molina, his father Carlos Augusto Molina Palma and his sisters Ana Lucrecia Molina Theissen, María Eugenia Molina Theissen and Emma Guadalupe Molina Theissen, deep grief, suffering, and feelings of guilt (supra paras. 37(10), 30(a), 30(b), 30(c) and 30(d)). The facts in the instant case and the subsequent exile of the Molina Theissen family also altered the conditions of its members’ lives; his parents stopped working to focus exclusively on finding their son; his sisters also gave up their jobs and their studies; the family felt constant danger due to the persecution it suffered. The victim’s parents and sisters were forced to leave Guatemala toward different countries, which for them meant abandoning the search for Marco Antonio, their next of kin, friends and colleagues at work, roots and belongings, and reestablishing themselves in a different society (supra paras. 37(8) and 37(9)). Furthermore, as was demonstrated at the public hearing (supra paras. 11 and 30(a), 30(b), 30(c) and 30(d)), the Molina Theissen family was deeply united and there was a strong relationship and affection between the parents and the sisters and among the latter. Their separation, together with the guilt they felt for Marco Antonio’s disappearance, broke up the household. Finally, prevailing impunity in this case has been and continues to be a source of suffering for the next of kin (supra paras. 37(10), 37(11), 30(a), 30(b), 30(c) and 30(d)). The circumstances described caused the members of the Molina Theissen family to suffer psychological problems, for which reason some of them have undergone treatment (supra para. 37(12)). 70. Based on all the above, this Court finds that the non-pecuniary damage suffered by Marco Antonio Molina Theissen’s next of kin has been fully proven. Therefore, this Court deems that they must receive compensation for it, and for this it sets the amount, in fairness, at US $275,000.00 (two hundred and seventy-five thousand United States dollars), which must be distributed in equal parts among Emma Theissen Álvarez Vda. de Molina, Carlos Augusto Molina Palma, deceased, Ana Lucrecia Molina Theissen, María Eugenia Molina Theissen and Emma Guadalupe Molina Theissen. The amount set for the victim’s father must be given to his next of kin, pursuant to paragraph 51 of the instant judgment. 71. Taking into account the statements of the victim’s next of kin (supra paras. 30(a), 30(b), 30(c) and 30(d)), and the expert opinions of Carlos Martín Beristain (supra para. 30(f)) and Alicia Neuburger (supra paras. 30(g)), there is evidence to establish that the psychological ailing of Marco Antonio Molina Theissen’s next of kin, which originated both in what happened to him and in the situation of impunity that persists in the instant case, continues to date. Therefore, this Court, as it has done before,49 deems that compensation for non-pecuniary damages must also include an amount for future psychological treatment expenses. 48 Case of Blake, January 24, 1998 Judgment.
