Research into the psychiatric care for so-called abnormal children and youths in the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina is presented. The emergence of the idea of the "dangerous child" or the category of "minor" is discussed, drawing on Foucault's discussion of the notion of the "dangerous individual." This is followed by a presentation of the difficulties faced in the institutionalization of abnormal minors in the aforementioned state. The links between theories that enable so-called abnormal children to be identified and the ideas of eugenics are then questioned. Finally, the institutional dynamics involving so-called abnormal children admitted to the Hospital Colônia Sant'Ana in the 1940s are scrutinized.
本文介绍了对巴西圣卡塔琳娜州所谓异常儿童和青少年的精神护理研究。借鉴福柯对“危险个体”概念的讨论，探讨了“危险儿童”概念或“未成年人”范畴的出现。随后介绍了在该州将异常未成年人安置到机构中所面临的困难。接着质疑了那些使所谓异常儿童得以被识别的理论与优生学观念之间的联系。最后，详细审查了20世纪40年代入住圣安娜殖民地医院的所谓异常儿童所涉及的机构动态。
