Abstract

This article analyzes social concepts and practices on social protection of children and adolescents. After three decades of the Brazilian children law, its operation finds resistance on several levels: cultural (overcoming derogatory views), institutional (redesign of institutions based on the perspective of protection), material (guarantee of resources expressed in own budgets, in trained professionals and in service units equipped for different activities), political (integrated protection network). In terms of social programs and policies, the contemporary scenario presents important challenges in terms of schooling, qualified professionalization of this segment, coverage of primary health care actions, exposure to urban violence. It is considered that, between the design of the law and the effective practices, there are many continuities and few breaks with the punitive model that results in abandonment and mistreatment by the State.
