This article opens up a reflection on an institutional form of daily life as yet little investigated: namely, the group reactional mode when faced with the manifestation of the sexual acting out of children under 12 years of age. The author draws on a group psychoanalytic theorisation in order to offer a reading of institutional psychic groupality at grips with the sexual acting out of children which may contribute to reaching an understanding of the reasons hindering the process of elaboration of this issue, and also of its modes of evolution. The author accounts for the complex psychic reality of these children, and for the way in which, in spite of themselves, they are subject to the unconscious links of their family meshing, but also institutional, where the collusion of different issues through phenomena of interlocking reduplications is echoed and reflected within the different psychic spaces.
