SUMMARY:

Brazilian history of child removals from families dates to colonial times. This approach was
refined over time through the institutionalization of children from indigenous, black, and poor
families. Therefore, this study intends to analyze the suspension or dismissal of custody of
children of homeless women in Natal/RN. The method consisted of semi-structured
interviews with representatives of 11 institutions, including eleven semi-structured interviews
with four distinct groups that included representatives of social assistance services, health care
services, the justice system, and two homeless couples. The data obtained were analyzed and
organized into three themes based on thematic content analysis: (a) homeless pregnancies; (b)
forcible separation and/or termination of parental rights; (c) motherhood and meritocracy. The
results point to the absence of the State in providing concrete housing and income alternatives
for mothers to remain with their children; the importance of solidarity networks and family
support as forms of resistance to the separation of their children; the criminalization of
women based on moralism and the use of drugs that. It is noted that homeless mothers and
pregnant women are at constant risk of abduction and theft of their children by the State. It is
necessary to denaturalize the conception that poor women are unfit to care for their daughters
and sons through intersectoral actions aligned with the specific needs of this population.
