Conselho tutelar e proteção integral: impressões acerca da efetividade de atuação para defesa dos direitos da criança e do adolescente em situação de rua no Município de Natal/RN

Abstract

The Federal Constitution of 1988 and the Statute of Children and Adolescents enshrined the principle of integral protection as a new paradigm focused on childhood and adolescence. In this sense, it instituted the Tutelary Councils, the body charged by society to ensure the rights of children and adolescents and to strengthen the dialogue between family, State and Society. Therefore, this work aims to understand minimally about the performance of these organs in the municipality of Natal/RN and thus to understand what factors and difficulties are encountered to effective the integral protection of children and adolescents in street situations. For this, we seek to present the concepts that engender the doctrine of integral protection, in addition to the functioning and legal structure of the permanent organ. It should be emphasized that the research adopted the method of deductive approach, using bibliographic research of national and international diplomas, seeking to analyze the historical evolution of the norms of protection for children. At another time, an online questionnaire was prepared to the Tutelary Councils of the North, South, East and West administrative regions in order to know about their actions and impressions about the subject. As a result of the analysis, we identified that there are enough normative diplomas to protect childhood and adolescence. However, the Tutelary Councils of the Municipality of Natal/RN still lack full effectiveness.
