Revive to live the experience: ethical dilemmas and political emotions that arise in Social Work, in the processes of reestablishing the rights of Boys, Girls and Adolescents.

Abstract

This article arises from the interest of sharing the experiences lived in the Family Police Station of the Municipality of Caldas-Antioquia (2019), in the framework of the professional practices of Social Work, in the key of systematization; the objective was to recover the ethical challenges and political emotions that arise in the practitioner and the professional of Social Work in the process of restoration of rights of Children and Adolescents (NNA). In the conclusions, it is possible to identify emotions such as fear generated by the uncertainty of care; anger, as a search for justice, and sadness that arises as part of the connection with the suffering of others. On the other hand, it is evident that although ethical dilemmas are present in decision making in a process of restoration of rights, they influence the lives from children and adolescents, especially in cases of institutional conflicts, in the integration or removal of a child to the family environment. The experience presented in two voices ratifies the need for training beyond protocols and jurisprudence on understanding the place of children and adolescents in the adult world.  The challenges at the end of this reflection will continue to be based on the defense and support of those who need it.
