O trabalho analisa e reflete dois fatos históricos que antecederam e precederam o movimento menorista em dois espaços geográficos e tempos históricos diversos. Denominamos menorismo o movimento transnacional que nasceu nos Estados Unidos da América e criou tribunais de menores que passaram a incidir sob a tutela dos menores apartando-os de suas famílias por meio de um processo de institucionalização. A narrativa analisa a política implementada entre os séculos XIX e XX, nos Estados Unidos, denominada órfãos do trem e a Operação Camanducaia, realizada no Brasil, em meados da década de 1970. Este trabalho, derivado pesquisa de cunhos documental, historiográfico e bibliográfico, apresenta um paralelo sobre como duas realidades divergentes tentaram resolver um problema ocasionado pela proibição do trabalho infantil. A não permanência das crianças no chão de fábrica contribuiu para que elas se tornassem um incômodo no centro das grandes cidades. Como resultado parcial, este trabalho conclui que ambos os movimentos estão diretamente relacionados com a implantação do menorismo e com o fracasso do projeto enquanto política excludente e higienista, bem como, com o não lugar de pertencimento deste grupo social, em face da sua não necessária força de trabalho. The paper examines two historical events that preceded and followed the \"minorism\" in two different geographical spaces and historical periods. The narrative analyzes the policy implemented between the 19th and 20th centuries in the United States, known as \"orphan trains,\" and the \"Operação Camanducaia\" carried out in Brazil in the mid-1970s. We call minority the transnational movement that emerged in the United States of America and created juvenile courts that began to take responsibility for the protection of minors, separating them from their families through a process of institutionalization. The research, based on documentary and bibliographic sources, draws a parallel between how these two divergent realities attempted to address a problem caused by the prohibition of child labor. The removal of children from the factory floor contributed to their becoming a nuisance in the centers of large cities. As a partial result, the investigation concludes that both movements are directly related to the implementation of minorism and its failure as an exclusionary and hygienist policy, as well as to the lack of a sense of belonging for this social group due to their no longer being needed as a workforce. Este trabajo analiza dos hechos históricos que antecedieron y preceden al movimiento \"minorismo\". en dos espacios geográficos y tiempos históricos diferentes. Se denomina minorismo al movimiento transnacional que se inició en los Estados Unidos de América y que creó tribunales de menores que comenzaron a responsabilizarse de la tutela de los menores, separándolos de sus familias a través de un proceso de institucionalización. La narrativa analiza la política implementada entre los siglos XIX y XX en Estados Unidos, llamada “huérfanos del tren”, y la “Operación Camanducaia”, realizada en Brasil a mediados de la década de 1970. Esta investigación documental, historiográfica y bibliográfica presenta un paralelo sobre el modo cómo en dos realidades divergentes se intentó resolver un problema causado por la prohibición del trabajo infantil. El hecho de que a los niños no se les permitiera permanecer en las fábricas contribuyó a que se convirtieran en una molestia en el centro de las grandes ciudades. Como resultado parcial, se concluye que ambos movimientos están directamente relacionados con la implementación del minorismo y el fracaso de este proyecto como política excluyente e higienista, así como la falta de lugar de pertenencia de este grupo social, dada su innecesaria fuerza laboral.

6 New Yorkers were horrified by a subsequent grand jury report on serious crimes: “Of the higher grades of felony, four-fifths of the complaints examined have been against minors. Orphan Trains to Illinois In October 1855, asylum officials were approached by Reverend Mr. Enoch Kingsbury, pastor of the Presbyterian church in Danville, Illinois, and asked if they would consider allowing him to find homes for children in that vicinity. 10 Kingsbury was president of the Vermilion County Juvenile Aid Society, which was formed on July 4, 1855, for the purpose of aiding poor families and homeless children. 11 The New York Tribune announced the formation of the society just a few weeks prior to Kingsbury contacting asylum officials: “A society has been organized in Danville, Vermillion [ sic] County, Illinois, to aid the poor, and especially the young and orphans, in emigrating from the cities to that rich, beautiful, healthy region, where food, fuel and house room are cheap and labor plenty and well paid. . . . The only compensation the NYJA received was for “the labors of its agents, except $10 for minors and $15 for adults from the persons receiving them.” 14 The asylum decided to terminate their arrangement with Kingsbury in June of 1857, but within two weeks, the asylum itself commenced sending out companies of their children for indenture in the central and northern counties of Illinois. 15 The asylum did decide to continue Kingsbury's tradition of holding annual reunions for the children in Illinois: “The children are all to be brought together at the County seat, on the 6th of July of each year, to enjoy a public dinner.”

Between 1854 and 1930, the placing-out or orphan train strategy, considered to be the forerunner of modern family foster care, relocated approximately 150,000 children and youths from the city of New York to families in the Midwest. The program was designed to give children who were orphaned or from impoverished urban families an opportunity to live with rural families to increase their chances to become productive citizens as adults. This article summarizes the implementation of placing-out, including contributing social conditions, the underlying philosophy, the basic components, and professional and public perceptions. Implications of the orphan trains for current child welfare policies and practice are considered.
