Abstract
This article analyzes the narratives of men and women; mothers and fathers and caretakers of children and adolescents involved in sexual abuse allegations, as victims, and that, for that reason, they have been inserted in the Rights Guarantee System, aiming to demonstrate what they think, what statements they use to talk about sexual abuse and the meanings attributed to their insertion in the care network. To facilitate the theoretical comprehension, the notion of Biopolitics was used as a type of government and one of Foucault’s technologies of power, also linked to the ideas of a government for Castel’s psychology and to Fassin’s rhetoric of trauma. From the analysis it is possible to describe how the abuse becomes the major way of legitimizing in order to access the government protection, and how the forms of government capture all people and support the narratives in subtle ways.
