Resumo
The research investigated the issue of intrafamily sexual abuse, an issue that concerns law,
public security, health and society in general. In the city of Manaus, cases of intra-family sexual abuse
are mainly monitored by the Specialized Police in the Protection of Children and Adolescents -
DEPCA, whose data indicate that most abusers are parents, stepparents or close relatives of the victim.
The trajectory of mothers in relation to the decision to delay, omit or denounce the abuser was
analyzed, and the specificities of the meanings of the "complaint" of the mothers who omitted,
communicated or delayed the denunciation, whose genesis dates back to sociodemographic factors,
were verified. , emotional experiences marked by similar situations of intrafamily sexual abuse,
accompanied by feelings of abandonment, anger, guilt, shame, fear and in the development of
strategies to deny these feelings. In this context, the following research problem emerged: why do
mothers of victims of sexual abuse omit or delay in denouncing the aggressor, since he represents the
most important figure in protecting their children? The methodology used was qualitative, from the
perspective of socio-historical theory proposed by Vygotsky and González Rey. Semi-structured
interviews of life stories were carried out to collect data, which were collected through the core
meaning to understand the meanings of the “complaint”. The results indicate the inexistence of a
coping network for mothers and relatives of abused children and adolescents that encourages them to
report, that there are specificities between mothers who reported and mothers who omitted, with
evidence of the existence of a cycle of multigenerational sexual violence, that mothers relived
experiences of their own abuse due to the revelation of their children's abuse, which somehow
interfered negatively in their decision-making.
