Services that Guarantee the Rights of Children and Adolescents: demands and referrals

Abstract

Amongst the integral protection measures proposed in the Child and Adolescent Statute (CAS), it is warranted
the right of that parcel of population to live with their family and community members. Nevertheless,
sometimes, the development contexts, mainly the family, on the contrary to be protection spaces, configure it
like spaces where rights are violated, becoming risk scenarios. In such conditions the services that guarantee
the rights of children and adolescents are activated, which have been gaining, progressively, social visibility.
That visibility has becoming explicit the work of the organization (governmental or not) responsible for those
services in face of the demands that they received. Aiming at identifying some of those possibilities, a research
was accomplished with some of the main organizations responsible for those services in Natal city. From
the results observed, the following accusations and pleads regarding violence into the family are detached:
physical violence, negligence and sexual abuse, that are the main attention focuses of this paper.
