The article aims to analyze the process experienced in the city of Altamira, Pará state, in relation to the construction of Belo Monte’s Hydroelectric Factory, turning to the questioning of how public policies for children and adolescents are affected by the problems arising from this great work. Analyzing statistical data proves the precariousness of accelerated social indicators related to sexual violence offenses, violator act and drug use. It is also noted, the operational inability of institutions of the Warranty of Rights System to support the current demand, due to the lack of previous planning and investments, as well as the delay in the execution of compensatory policies that, being obligations of private company that manages the work, it establishes the paradoxical situation of human rights privatization, leading to reversal of the roles of state and business.
