Abstract

Child and adolescent artists are an exception to the prohibition of child labor, so their assets remain under the administration of their parents. The principle of integral protection, provided for in the Federal Constitution, brings the idea to parents that at the moment of decision-making, they must prioritize the best interests of their children and never their own particular interests. However, this principle is not always observed, as can be seen in the concrete case of Larissa Manoela, since the actress wasn't even aware of the amounts she received for her work as a child and adolescent artist. From this, the present study aims to analyze Brazilian norms regarding the patrimonial protection of child artists, particularly in light of the principle of integral protection. To do so, the deductive approach method and the monographic or case study procedure method were used, as well as documentary and bibliographic research techniques. It was concluded that in this case study, there was abuse of parental power, as Larissa Manoela's parents acted with abusive or coercive authority to control her assets, and patrimonial violence can be understood as a case of abuse of parental power, completely out of line with the principle of the best interests of the child or adolescent. Furthermore, it was found that there are bills in progress before the Brazilian Legislature in order to protect children's artists, and there is no doubt that there are public policies for children's artists today, with an emphasis on legislative activity for effective patrimonial protection.
