This research analyzes data from the ten largest municipalities in the Southwest of the state of Paraná, covering the years 2009-2015, with the aim of verifying the violation of the rights to family and community coexistence of children and adolescents. The study of childhood and the historical space it occupied over the centuries, in addition to conceptual understanding, seeks to instigate reflections on the situation, the construction of legal systems and the concept of childhood feelings. In Brazil, ethnic-racial, social, cultural and religious influences characterized its conceptualization.
