Methods: Descriptive documentary research with a retrospective design, being part of the research corpus active and inactive physical records from Altamira's CAPSi tending to be a temporal period record between 2020 and 2022. Results: The data showed an index of 59.5% of violence perpetrated against females, having the main violence identified as sexual violence, with 45.2% of the cases, and physical violence with 42.8%, At the intra-family context, the rate was 78.5%, with the highest violence incidence with multidimensional consequences, completing the teaching/learning process, directly interfering in the psychological field with the emergence of self-injurious behaviors and suicidal ideation and attempts. Conclusion: There are several consequences of the experience of violence throughout child development, however, the age range of the research limited the analysis of the correlation between the stage of development and the type of violence. I conclude that these studies need to be conducted in order to promote policies to prevent child violence, enabling children to grow up wiser and more protected.
