Thanks for your addend, Andy. Your thesis on the disparity between the text
of the law and its application was presupposed in my commentary. Although
the activities of the federal prosecution service that actually do a limited
good work on the rights of peoples with disability, for example (cf. <
http://www.prsp.mpf.gov.br/prdc/ >), there's nothing to be proud of
Brazilian law system neither. In Brazil some social groups not only are
unprotected by the law system but are actually harmed by it. So, for
example, people who live their lives in a particular place could be legally
displaced to build a dam or to make an environmental protection area. That I
think may be the case for the Amazonian Caboclos you mention. But returning
to the subject proposed by Prof. Colin Revell. This does not throw down the
merit of the fact that, in the case of what is considered disrespect of the
rights of the children and adolescents, the Brazilian legal system has
nothing to do with the legal system in the UK. That's what I wanted to share
with the disability-research community. Best, ubiratan
Ps: If it is fine as words could be done something fine with them?
