As famílias e as crianças acolhidas: histórias mal contadas DOI - 10.5752/P.1678-9563.2013v19n1p59

Abstract

ResumoEste artigo é fruto da pesquisa "O impacto das medidas protetivas previstas pelo Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente nos sistemas familiares: 2009 -2011,5 que objetivou compreender a trajetória de crianças e adolescentes e suas famílias na rede de proteção. Entre as conclusões da pesquisa, observamos precariedade dos registros sobre a história pessoal e familiar das crianças e dos adolescentes. Os dados são por vezes lacunares e genéricos, o que contribui para a desconsideração da singularidade de cada família, bem como para a invisibilidade das crianças e dos adolescentes. Do ponto de vista dos sujeitos, essas histórias mal contadas dificultam a elaboração e superação das vivências e das condições que geraram o acolhimento institucional. Já do ponto de vista da política pública, acarreta por vezes ações desconectadas, superpostas e até mesmo irrefletidas pelos equipamentos que compõem a rede de proteção.Palavras-chave: Medida de acolhimento institucional.

Family Therapy: When the Adolescents’ Discourse is the Principal Resource

“…The contemporary family experiences the challenge of absorbing the demands of society and the relationships that constitute them, needing to reinvent itself. Considering the contexts in which this process is inserted, it is continuous and complex, as the transformations in the sociohistorical scenario are fast and modify the relational patterns [1]. When the family passes through the moment of the adolescence of the children, this dynamism and reorganization of papers become even more evident.…”

Social and Familial Inclusion of Children and Adolescents in Alternative Care: Advances and Challenges of Professional Practice in Brazil Today

“…The personal history of the child or adolescent must be taken into account 7 . Moreira et al (2013) studied how the protective measures prescribed by the ECA unfolded in family systems and found "badly told stories", in which the absence of complete records on the family situation and the fact that families and children were not heard by qualified personnel led to "hasty decisions for separation or inadequate return to the family of origin" or even "to decisions regarding adoption without the participation of the child, the birth family and the adoptive family". An untold story, the authors conclude, can lead to a prolongation of the child's time in institutional care (pp.…”

Institutional sheltering through the child’s perspective

“…Nonetheless, sheltering institutions commonly have difficulties to promote family restructuring for the reintegration to take place, or in case of destitution, for adoption, which results in long sheltering periods (Moreira et al, 2013). For that reason, it is crucial that measures previous to sheltering are implemented, hence avoiding the ruptures caused by sheltering.…”

“…In the daily institutional work, the life histories of children are being deleted, either for causing suffering or for being considered the same as all the others, thus losing the singularities of these subjects who are reduced to "sheltered children" (Moreira et al, 2013). In such an environment where collectiveness is lived so intensively it is essential to guarantee the right to individuality for the sheltered children, in a way that their life history is respected, hence granting resources for valuing the identities of subjects under development (Cintra & Souza, 2010).…”
