In this institution, it is carried out a recapitulation about the historic path about attendance of children and adolescents in Brazil who were vulnerable and at social risk. The assistance given to adolescents who committed a minor crime was coercive and punitive; however, with the improvement of the Rights Assurance System (Sistema de Garantia de Direitos) and adolescents made responsible for their acts makes possible a right and worthy assistance. This way, the Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente (ECA) reformulates the assistance to adolescentswho commit minor crimes, making them responsible for their acts through a socio-educational measure. In this sense, the socio-educational institution where the intervention of the social service happened was the Centro de AtendimentoSocioeducativo de Santa Maria no Rio Grande do Sul – CASE/SM-RS.

This adolescent is in an unequal social situation and weakened, but the public policies guarantee protection, social rights to socio educational work, reinsertion in society and the guarantee to dignity in the admission place. This way, the social work intervention in this place assisted the adolescent and the family making both stronger and integrating them to the basic social protection
