Hay muchos menores que necesitan protección tutelar y la tutela ni si-
quiera se ha constituido, lo que trae dudas sobre la idoneidad de la ins-
titución. También en los casos de las tutelas debidamente constituidas se
duda sobre la ecacia de la gura. Sin embargo, no debe pretenderse que
la gura tutelar esté ideada exclusivamente para menores con bienes de
fortuna, y que de no existir tales será procedente la colocación. Pues la ley
le concede preeminencia a la tutela sobre la colocación en forma expresa
y así lo ha admitido la jurisprudencia, en atención a que es el régimen más
parecido a la patria potestad.
Si bien las formalidades no pueden ser eliminadas en la tutela, en virtud
de la naturaleza de la misma y de la desconanza que ocasiona la ine-
xistencia de los protectores naturales, es necesario pensar en aligerar la
institución en benecio del propio menor. El procedimiento tutelar –sin
perder sus formalidades esenciales– ha de ser ecaz y sencillo.
Ciertamente, debe conservarse dentro del procedimiento tutelar la sca-
lización y vigilancia del protutor. Nos mostramos en desacuerdo con la
existencia del consejo de tutela.
La desconanza hacia el tutor no puede llevarse siempre al extremo, porque
el mismo hecho de que se trate de un tercero, que no es el progenitor

tutelar plasmó la autora en los sigu ientes trabajos: art. cit. («La tutela ordinaria…»),
pp. 273-276; ob. cit. («La tutela del Es tado…»), p. 99; ob. cit. (Ensayos sobre capaci-
dad…), pp. 262-265; ob. cit. (Manual de Derecho Civil I…), pp. 404 y 405.
