Quando a realidade cala: violência psicológica intrafamiliar contra crianças e adolescentes em Mossoró-RN.

Abstract

This article aims to relect on intrafamily violence against children and adolescents in Mossoró, RN, from 2009 to 2012, particularly in its psychological mode. For this purpose, we performed a literature review and desk research from the records of the CREAS. Among other considerations, the data point to an oscillation between the number (in our view, small and distant from reality) of reported cases of intrafamily psychological violence in the studied city, demonstrating their invisibility and the need to break the silence that surrounds it, denaturalizing it and contributing to the guarantee of children and adolescents fundamental rights.
