Psychoanalysis has contributed for children no longer to be taken as naïve and easily educable when it gave them a knowing, the sexual theories. Thus, it has demonstrated that they can formulate the ways in which the emotional, sexual and power relationships evolve among the people on whom they depend. At present, the assumption that children have a knowing takes other connotations as to the political-libidinal place reserved for them, which opens the dimension of limitless jouissance in dealing with them regarding abuse and explorations. We will discuss about the place given to the child in the family, media and science.
