The work was built through the systematic review of scientific articles, books, and a simple field research, to demonstrate that a fundamental right to the formation of children and adolescents as a person still contributes to the permanence of familiar suppression. Thus, the article goes through the evolution of the standard intended for children and adolescents, then deals with protection measures, what it is and when it can be applied and then its consequences on the right to family coexistence for children and adolescents in long-drawn situations.Acesso AbertoInstitucionalização prolongadaConvivência familiarECAFamíliaCriançaAdolescenteExtended institutionalizationFamily livingFamilyChildren and adolescentsA institucionalização infantil e o reflexo no direito à convivência familiar da criançaTrabalho de Conclusão de CursoCiências Sociais AplicadasDireito
