- Resumo
- In Brazil, children are today at the center of attention thanks to the new Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente. If, on the one hand, this legislation guarantees the right of children and adolescentes to be raised and educated in their own families, on the other, it demands that their right to health, education, food, leisure and sports be assured. Many social workers who deal with children consider than since poor families do not guarantee these rights, they are being negligent with their offspring. Thus, acting in the name of the child, for its own good, they may withdraw it from its original family. On the basis of a study of social workers, psychologists and pedagogues employed by the state orphanage in Rio Grande do Sul, we examine how "socio-economic problems" - the category which ten years ago justified most internments, has been transformed in the post- Statute period into the category of "negligence". Today, the idea of protecting children is given top priority, even if it involves infringing the parents' rights. In other words, although children may have gained in "citizenry", the adults they will soon become - lower-income men and women - appear to have lost ground.
