description The subject of research is the re-victimization of minors after a sexual abuse complaint is filed. This new experiencing of abuse can be explained by a lack of childcare services by relevant institutions, lack of coordination, inoperability and, particularly, ignorance around a child’s psyche, that is, when the victim’s subjectivity is not taken into account to guide the pertinent actions and which ends up having very harmful consequences for the child. After analyzing the word re-victimization and its particular meaning in an institutional setting, this phenomenon will be exemplified by walking through the experience of four victims of sexual abuse through the institutional labyrinth. Lastly, we will investigate the effects of deconstruction about a child’s subjectivity and institutional re-victimization, and propose some measures to remediate this urgent problem.

This new experiencing of abuse can be explained by a lack of childcare services by relevant institutions, lack of coordination, inoperability and, particularly, ignorance around a child’s psyche, that is, when the victim’s subjectivity is not taken into account to guide the pertinent actions and which ends up having very harmful consequences for the child.

Lastly, we will investigate the effects of deconstruction about a child’s subjectivity and institutional re-victimization, and propose some measures to remediate this urgent problem. El tema estudiado es el de la revictimización de menores después de la denuncia de un abuso sexual. Esta nueva vivencia de maltrato, se explica por las carencias de la atención por parte de las instituciones competentes, por falta de coordinación, por disfuncionamiento y, sobretodo, por desconocimiento del psiquismo infantil, de modo que la subjetividad de la víctima no está tomada en cuenta para orientar las acciones pertinentes, con consecuencias muy dañinas para ella. Después de analizar la palabra revictimización y su sentido específico en el ámbito institucional, se ilustrará este fenómeno con el recorrido de cuatro menores víctimas de abuso sexual a través el laberinto institucional. Por último, se investigarán los efectos desestructurantes sobre la subjetividad infantil de la revictimización institucional, y se propondrá algunas medidas para remediar a este problema acuciante.
