Abstract:
In the context of this article we discuss sexual family violence against children and adolescents in
the city of Mossoró-RN, with reference to the results produced with the research entitled: On the (un)
speakable: Family violence against children and adolescents in Mossoró-RN, in which we conducted a literature
review and documentary research, by exploring the medical records of patients seen in CREAS between
the period 2009 to 2012. We conclude attesting the existence of a considerable number of cases, which focus
primarily on adolescents aged 12 to 15 years; detected yet, despite the difficulties with medical record information,
the father figure (stepfathers and fathers, respectively) establishes itself as the main perpetrators of
the cases.
