Resumen
Domestic violence against children represents an important issue in public health due
to its higher taxes of morbidity and mortality. At the same time it constitutes a social and
professional challenge. Familiar violence that is continuous throughout the generation,
reinforcing it in the culture as a normal thing. Thus, we aimed understand how the
institutionalized children experience the domestic violence in order to reach subsides to face
it and prevent it. It is a qualitative research with a descriptive-exploratory approach which
applied the Creative and Sensitive Method. The study was carried out in two institutions
where living children and adolescents that suffered domestic violence in the southern Brazil.
The study participants were 4 children, 2 girls and 2 boys between 8-11 years-old. 2
dynamics of creativity and sensibility were conducted with 4 participants each one: Playing in
Act and Body Knowledge. In the first one aimed know how was the children s life in the
familiar home environment that they came from. In the second one, the objective was known
how the children s bodies were cared in the familiar home environment under their
perspective. The institution ethical committee approved this study. In order to understand the
abused children s language the analytical tools of the French Discourse Analysis were
applied to the data. The findings pointed at several motives to children s institutionalization
such as: mother s mental disorders, alcohol abuse and physical aggression. Mothers were
the main aggressor. The types of violence founded the physical, sexual and negligence. The
head, arms, legs and buttock were indicated by children as main points to physical violence.
The boys discourses revealed feelings as love and affection by relative that take care of
them. At the same time, they revealed the disregard by relative that practiced violence
against them. The girls discourses pointed out the hygiene care as the unique kind of care
that they received in their family. We recommend that the domestic violence are emphasized
in the teaching, clarifying it causes, consequences and recognize it as a public health issue.
The professionals must to know how to direct victims and aggressors. We believe in a
preventive work developed together families since the reproductive plan, pre-natal care and
delivery. We suggest a humanizing policy centered in actions that are possible the bond
between mother-child and the familial relationships in the daily life. So, this study intends to
contribute to minimize the domestic violence occurrences.
