The present research entitled “INSTITUTIONAL RECEPTION AND FAMILY
NEGLIGENCE: the contradiction of the guarantee of rights”, aimed to address the issue of
institutional reception of children under the allegation of family neglect. It is noteworthy that
the present research proposed to analyze how the access to social protection policies is
materialized for families who had their children welcomed under the allegation of family
neglect. Its general objective was to identify how social protection policies enable or not the
necessary social protection for families who had their children referred to the institutional
shelter service under the allegation of family neglect. This is a bibliographical and
documental research, in which Marx's dialectical-historical materialism was used as a method
for analyzing the results. Data collection followed all the steps foreseen in the research project
schedule approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Fundação Universidade Federal
do Tocantins (UFT). Then, the documents contained in the procedural records extracted from
the Electronic Judicial Process system - E-PROC of the Court of Justice of the State of
Tocantins (TJTO) were analyzed, with emphasis on the Individual and Family Assistance
Plan (PIA), in the reports included by the technical teams and other actors participating in the
process. As a sample, an analysis of 17 (seventeen) cases of children in institutional care was
carried out under the allegation of family neglect, in the period between January and
December 2019. We emphasize that, among the elements found during the research, we
highlight the great emptying of the procedural flow with regard to the systematic presentation
of network performance before and after the application of the measure. The absence of these
elements compromises a more forceful analysis in relation to the reception decision on the
grounds of family neglect, which, in turn, corroborates the understanding of the link between
neglect as a synonym for poverty. We also point out that the construction of the PIA that does
not follow the established regulations and presents itself only as a bureaucratically
constructed tool. It is important to point out that it was not possible to complete the objectives
in their entirety. However, the elements found were sufficient for a deep analysis of
institutional care and the existing contradiction between the effectiveness of social protection
for families who had their children welcomed under the allegation of family neglect.
