Abstract

The research that generated the article refers to a scientific initiation sponsored by the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) on the Profile of families served by the Public Defender's Office (DPMG), in processes of removal of family power. Using a semi-structured questionnaire with 34 questions, data was collected from medical records by DPMG interns, from 15 cases treated from March/2020 to March/2021. The variables that were identified in the research were: responsible for children in processes of loss of family power; age group; Education; Color self-declaration; type of residence, social program in which it is attended; neighborhood of residence; income of these families. The research identifies that those responsible are users of psychoactive substances and this factor is the most common among the cases researched. The majority accept treatment, and are referred to OSC Amor Exigente. Children or adolescents who suffered the loss of family power were provisionally referred to the Welcoming Family program and others were placed in the Extended Family, in the majority of cases having a history of physical violence.
