Abstract

This article aims to discuss about child abuse, and analyze the consequences on the lives of children and adolescents victims of sexual abuse from the perspective of Tutelary Counselors of Arraias - TO and to verify whether or not there are occurrences of sexual abuse involving children and adolescents in the municipality . For this work, directed questionnaires were applied to 05 Tutelary Counselors of the city of Arraias - TO. In order to understand the theme under study, it was necessary to carry out bibliographical studies of authors who discuss about the theme in question as: Cáceres (1996); Azambuja (2004); Biklen (1982); Kaplan and Sadock (1990), Law No. 10639/2003 among others besides documents such as the ECA and the Federal Constitution. As a conclusion of the conclusion it is noted that there are cases of sexual abuse involving children and adolescents in the city of Arraias and most cases occur in the family environment practiced by family members. Despite the advances already made, especially with regard to the creation of the Guardian Council, which helps protect children and adolescents, much remains to be done to ensure that children are better protected and their rights guaranteed. Another factor found during the research is that many are the damages caused by sexual abuse which can even interfere with the personality of the abused in adulthood.
