Os riscos inerentes ao trabalho artístico infantil: uma análise legislativa

Abstract

In Brazil, current legislation, specifically the Child and Adolescent Statute (Law 8.069/90), plays a crucial role in defining and protecting the rights of individuals in their developmental stages. According to ECRIAD, a clear distinction is established between children and adolescents based on age. A child is considered to be any individual under the age of 12, while the adolescent category encompasses those between the ages of 12 and 18. This distinction is essential to ensure specific legal and social approaches, recognizing the distinct needs of each group and ensuring the application of protective measures appropriate to the physical and psychosocial developmental stages of these young citizens. ECRIAD, therefore, is based on understanding childhood and adolescence as crucial periods that require special attention and differentiated care, aiming to ensure an environment conducive to the full development of these individuals.
