The practice of separating children and adolescents of the familiar conviviality and put them in an institution is not characteristic only of the current historical moment, but is a present act since Colonial Brazil. Among various topics that explore childhood, a few of them have as object of study the feelings that children who pass for the institucional shelter attribute to this experience. Going through various historical periods to the current modern conception of childhood in Brazil, this study propous to identify and analyze the meanings in the process of residential care of children sheltered in an Anapolis´ institution, Goiás. Assuming that each child uniquely subjective experiences, listening to children not only as subjects of rights, but as subjects of desire was the challenge of this work. The research was conducted using a qualitative approach through interviews wich were analyzed based on the Underlying Discourse Unveiling Method, using as theoretical support in the analysis of the results the psychoanalytic theory. This method was suitable for data collection, when approaching half-directed interviews to the context of daily informal colloquies, facilitating to the interaction between participants and researcher. The participants were ten children, of both sexes, aged between seven and twelve years old, living in a philanthropic institution of shelter, in Anápolis, Goiás. After the application of the interviews, transcription of the depositions and analysis of the results, could be raised the following categories: ambivalent feelings and perpetrating violence. A mixture of love and hatred in the children´s fellings could be perceived, present in processes of formation of new bonds, the experiences of separation or loss of a love object. The violence of rights and of desires, in the life story of these children, repeated in their experiences of institucional shelter. The results suggest the necessity to listen to the children before and after any decision by those involved in the process of child protection, pointing out the practices that enforce rights already legislated in Brazil.
