This research focuses on the analysis of the right to education and childhood of children from the outskirts of Recife who live in single motherhood family arrangements and, within them, find themselves in a situation of adultification due to issues of precarious support networks and effects related to the transfer of care. To develop this study, we used semi-structured online interviews, conducted via video calls using the Google Meet platform, with four Black single mothers from the outskirts of the city, who work in the care sector (domestic, nanny, and elderly caregiver), and whose children/adolescents are of school age, within the age range served by the Municipal Education Network of the City of Recife/Municipal Department of Education, enrolled in the Early Childhood Education modality up to Elementary School II. The objective of this study was to understand the challenges for the materialization of the right to education and childhood of children and adolescents who live in these family arrangements, from the perspective and experience of black single mothers, in an analysis through the Snowball method, bringing to the center of the intellectual debate, reflections on care, seeking to highlight the intersections between mothering, care work, the transfer of care, the right to education and the right to childhood. We seek to map how these mothers weave the seam between working in the area of care, the use of time spent on unpaid care-related activities, the transfers of care from Black single mothers to their older children and/or adolescents (in cases of more than one child per family), the support networks and the processes related to adultification that these children are conditioned to go through, especially when they become the main/only direct support network in this family configuration.
