Children and adolescents who live on the street reflects a social symptom, marked, essentially, by violence, transgression, desertion and the precociousness that the life on the street imposes. A reality configured by social, political, cultural, historical, economic aspects, which compose a social complex. From the experience at an institution (Olinda-Brazil), we find subject with singular histories, who adopted the same solution - the street - to the experienced conflict. From a cut in this reality, we propose a reading of aspects from the family dynamics, which weaken the subject, like the addressed words to him, which mark with attributes that result in the identity "Child of the Streets". What place is given to the subject that makes a break with the home and the family? We also propose to think strategies for intervention with the families to restore or build a place of belonging for these children and these parents in family.
