INSTRUMENTALIZAÇÃO DE CRIANÇAS E ADOLESCENTES INFLUENCERS PELOS RESPONSÁVEIS

Abstract

This monograph addresses the instrumentalization of children and adolescent influencers by their legal guardians and its implications, given that the Statute of Children and Adolescents establishes that minors are subjects of rights. However, the Civil Code states that they are legally incapable, being subject to parental authority, which is guaranteed by the Federal Constitution of 1988. The study is guided by an analysis of the meaning of the term “Subject of Rights” to refer to those deemed incapable under the Civil Code, as well as the concepts of Personality Rights, with a focus on the privacy and image of those exposed on social media. Furthermore, the phenomenon of sharenting and oversharenting in contemporary society is examined, along with the psychological consequences that such exposure may cause in the lives of children and adolescents. The research method adopted was a bibliographical study on the subject discussed in the monograph. Thus, it is concluded that, although the Statute of Children and Adolescents recognizes them as subjects of rights, it is up to their legal guardians to set limits within their moral obligations regarding the privacy, honor, and image of their children, since the Federal Constitution guarantees the free planning of family life.
