The appropriation of children of arrested-disappeared during Argentina's military dictatorship was implemented from specific legal categories as they pass through various institutions: Juvenile, religious, security and armed forces, resulting in the replacement and reconfiguration of the filiation and source identity. In particular, in women police brigades and nurseries, in coordination with the juvenile courts, there were particular forms of transit, registration and administration of the “sons of subver- sives”, among them, the formula “NN s / abandonment” outstands, which operated in all appropriations silencing, in most cases, the kidnappings of their parents. In this paper, through the analysis of this case, it is aimed to contribute to the reflection on one side of the complex relationships between bureaucracy and kinship, crossed by state violence, from a historical-ethno- graphic perspective.
