| Abstract | |
In Brazil, despite the existence of a legal apparatus that puts the child in the world of human rights, there is the persistence of violence against children; the family is a major locus for its occurrence. According to the Federal Constitution of 1988 and the Child and Adolescent Statute, responsibility for defending the childrens rights should be shared by all segments of society, including educational institutions. In this sense, and considering its purpose of promoting the integral development of children, it is the Child Rearing to contribute to confront the violence against children. This project, in this context, is aimed to investigate how day nursery professionals deal with the issue of domestic violence against children. The target institutions of the search were two kindergartens located in Ribeirão Preto / São Paulo: one which had not reported cases of domestic violence against children in Dial Denounce and/ or Guardianship Councils (day nursery A) and another which had notified some cases to these institutions (day nursery B). For nurseries selection, a survey was conducted along with the Guardianship Councils and the Program of Dial Denounce in Ribeirão Preto of all cases referred and their respective applicants, from October 2005 to September 2006. The instruments used to collect data in the nursery school were: observation (5 months) and interviews (17). In the nursery A, interviews were held with general service employees (2), teachers (5) and director (1). In nursery B, interviews were held with general services employees (2), educators (6) and coordinator (1). We analyzed 10 interviews, five of each kindergarten: 1 (director / coordinator), 1 (general services employee), 3 (educators). The methodology for collecting and analyzing data is anchored on the assumptions of the Meaning Network. Data analysis showed: 1) the existence of the senses network, composed not only by senses of domestic violence against children, which direct / cross / justify the actions of professional Child Rearing in relation to child, the family and the protection institutions; 2) that the senses deployed and the main actions taken by employees in concrete situations of domestic violence targeted at kids (talk to the child, guide the family and not report the cases to the protection institutions), differ from those mobilized senses and actions held in hypothesized situations (talk with the family aiming to find and report the identified cases of violence to the protection institutions); 3) the occurrence of violence against children in day care centers, being the most common practice the punishment, and the scream and threat; 4) the complexity and the ways in which employees deal with children in institutions and in cases of family violence, as well as the phenomena of domestic violence and institutional violence; 5) that actions taken in by nurseries got different positions on a continuum protection / victimization of the child. Thus the considerations made in this study, emphasize that it is of fundamental importance that Child Rearing reflects on in which speeches are founded upon and how their practices are contributing to the protection of children, both in nurseries and pre-schools and in families. Thus, Children Education can promote / facilitate the full development of children, fulfilling its political role and teaching. (AU) | |
