Abstract
La ponencia intenta colocar ocho observaciones críticas a las actuales políticas de protección a la infancia y la adolescencia en la región. Cuatro de ellas, en nuestra opinión, derivan de la forma como fue abordado el campo de la infancia y la adolescencia, desde una perspectiva histórica, tanto desde la política como de la academia. En otras palabras, son notas intrínsecas a la relación infancia, pobreza y Estado. Las cuatro restantes se vinculan al actual sistema de protecciones sociales vigente en la región, que apunta a regular la pobreza bajo el signo de políticas sociales y políticas punitivas. La infancia como “puerta de entrada” a la familia y sus secretos, habilitó históricamente, a partir de las políticas dirigidas a ella, la gestión social y política de la pobreza y de la población en general. Estas últimas cuatro notas críticas son
intrínsecas a las actuales formas de ejercicio del poder gubernamental y a la concepción de qué debe ser protegido y cómo. Obviamente, los ocho comentarios se desglosan de esta manera a los meros efectos de su exposición.

In other words, they are intrinsic to the relationship notes childhood, poverty and state. The remaining four are linked to the current social protection system in force in the region, aiming to regulate poverty under the banner of social policies and punitive policies. Childhood as a “gateway” to the family and its secrets, historically enabled, from policies aimed at her, social and political management of poverty and population in general. These last four critical notes are intrinsic to the current forms of exercise of governmental power and the conception of what should be protected and how. Obviously, the eight comments are broken in this way to mere exposure effects.
