To rethink the referring institutions, practices and discourses to the childhood and to those who operate in her within the judicial system, implies a process of permanent construction-deconstruction. To review the socio-historical variables respect to the institutionalized childhood means to work after the postulates of the International Convention of the Child's Rights, repairing in the half-framed complex that legitimizes the intervention on the children. This implies to cross a way that goes of the conception of the childhood like object to another one like subject. The positioning within one or another one of these paradigms, entail diverse levels of suffering for the childhood, the professionals and the institutions. This paper tries to describe the practice of the legal psychology with the institutionalized childhood, in as much practical organized under the fantasy to save a child.

Keywords : Childhood; Institutionalization; Practice.
