Abstract
This article presents aspects of the history of the one of means of institutionalizations of children in Brazil. Between the 1920s and 1980s, healthy children were separated from their parents affected by the old leprosy, and referred to these called preventive clinics, under the aegis of the protection speech. Based on bibliographic and field research, associated with the use of the Oral History methodology based on the technique of interviewing life stories with people who were isolated in preventive clinics, the authors seek to demystify the protection propagated in this institutions in the country, bringing up to the moralist, class, race and gender character present in these spaces. It concluds that these institutions were endowed with different models of discipline, violence, surveillance and control, besides to eugenics and hygienist practices in hospitalized child care which contributed in a perverse way to the violation of rights, the silening and disruption of family ties of this audience.
