This text deals with a section of the research-action “Multifamiliar Group of Sexual Offender Adolescents”. In our context, studies on the topic of teen sex offender are scarce. Initial interviews were made with the adolescent and his family to evaluate the familiar dynamics and the conditions of the perpetrated sexual aggression. We privileged in the text the knowledge of how the adolescent sees himself, how he is seen by his family and his relation with the school. Seven adolescents and their mothers participated of the study. The results show contradictions between how the mother sees the adolescent and how he sees himself. These contradictions extend to the expectation of both in relation to an occupation of the adolescent and also to the social environment. The context of the sexual offender adolescent needs to be known with a view to the implementation of individual and familiar interventions.
Key words: sexual offender adolescent, sexual abuse, family.
