The Municipal Children's Bureau in Curitiba , by means of the Socio-Preventive Managing Programs and the help from the School of Education of the Federal University of Parana , is launching a new task.2,096 male and female children, from 10 to 17 years old, were researched, during mornings and afternoons by 29 PIÁS Units, the Little Newspaper Children Units and ONG exchange programs. This paper aims at publicizing the investigation period and some possible reflexions about it, from a notion of vulnerability and its appropriateness to children and teenagers at present.
