Maribel Guardia has initiated legal proceedings against her daughter-in-law, Imelda Tuñón, amid serious allegations regarding the welfare of her grandson, José Julián.

Guardia’s actions are driven by her concern for the seven-year-old’s safety, as reports surfaced of Tuñón’s alleged neglect and irresponsible behavior. This family dispute highlights the difficult dynamics at play, as Guardia took the step to file a formal complaint with Mexican authorities.

The situation escalated when allegations arose that Tuñón had left her son unattended for extended periods, prioritizing her social life over his care.

Maribel has publicly expressed her fears about Tuñón’s lifestyle, mentioning instances of erratic behavior and potential substance abuse. These concerns culminated in José Julián being temporarily separated from his mother, which sparked significant media attention and public concern.

Imelda Tuñón has responded to the allegations, speaking out on social media to defend her parenting and refute the claims made against her.

She characterized her relationship with Guardia as tumultuous and expressed her pain over the situation, questioning why her former mother-in-law would seek to undermine her role as a mother.

The unfolding drama reveals the deep emotional stakes involved as both women fight for what they believe is in the child’s best interest.
