Children became a source of interest and social and political concern from the advent of modernity. The creation of legislation for the care of the child arises to try to solve the problem of the children that were outside the norm and were to the margin of the average standard, which denominates, in this work, of marginal childhood. It seeks to rescue the history of this child in Brazil and to bring to the fore the discursive web about the relations of power and knowledge in modernity and contemporaneity that engender ideas and practices about marginal children. From this survey, it was possible to see that the proposals of governmentality of marginal childhood fail continuously, as well as the use of violent and segregational practices that return all the time to dealing with these children. In order to analyze these findings, a hypothesis of public intentions towards marginal childhood is developed, extending to current policies and practices, such as those for early childhood investment. Finally, it is proposed a direction to think a possible form of care with marginal childhood.

Keywords : genealogy; marginal childhood; psychoanalysis.
