Background:The development and diversification of infor-mation and communication technology (ICT) are chang-ing the way family members communicate with eachother, creating new opportunities for interaction. Whenchildren and parents do not live together on a day-to-daybasis, these technologies may represent privileged meansto keep in touch and maintain a relationship.Objective:This article aims to review the literature on theuse of ICT among children separated from one or bothparents, paying particular attention to two contexts:parental separation and foster care.Method:A scoping review was conducted using the Arkseyand O’Malley (2005) framework and the PRISMA Exten-sion for Scoping Reviews guidelines (Tricco et al., 2018).The data were analyzed using thematic analysis.Results:Of the 847 references identified, 11 were selected(six related to parental separation and five related to fostercare). The literature dated from 1997 to 2020 and was par-ticularly sparse and heterogeneous (e.g., the definition ofICT and characteristics of participants). Three topicsemerged: (a) ICT practices and usage patterns, (b) ICTpractices: opportunities and issues, and (c) sociolegal sup-port issues.Implication:This study highlights the need for all legal andpsychosocial actors to consider the place of digital technol-ogy in family relationships.< Leer menos
