The Statute of Children and Adolescents - ECA is based in a Doctrine of Integral Protection - liberty, dignity and respect to children. In the social inequalities, the realization of the universal rights and its application is difficult. This article is part of a study about the comprehension that parents and educators have about the guarantee and violation of the children's protection rights, with an emphasis in the DIGNITY right. The research was accomplished in a public pre-school, with discussion meetings involving parents and educators. It was used as data base a screenplay to characterize the participants and the protocols to the dignity concept and the guarantee of the violation of this right at home, at school, and in the community. The results showed the guarantee to dignity at home is associated to the material conditions that the parents have to supply the necessity of the children and, otherwise, if there is financial difficulty, the necessity will be violated. The lack of quality and the unequal access to education were also considered as factors that violate the child dignity at school, while the lack of available public services and the State disinterest mark the dignity infringement in the community.

Keywords : Brazilian politics to children and adolescents; Dignity; School psychologist.
