Since last May, new regulations have given the Rio authorities the power to forcibly imprison children and teenagers who are on drugs.

This new regulation, which is being held up as a model for the entire country, is far from providing a consensus. NGOs and associations that have worked long-term with street children are concerned for what will happen to those who are taken away. For them, these new measures are nothing but a continuation of a policy of police repression, and above anything else, they see it as a practical way to "clean up" before the major sporting events of 2014 and 2016 - the FIFA World Cup and the Olympic Games.
