Introduction: Violence is a social phenomenon world-wide. Violence against the elderly is a serious problem of global public health. International organizations use different concepts for the same (Abath, 2012). The United Nations defines it as "any violent act such as to entail harm or nuisance to the elderly " (ONU 2002) , the same definition adopted by Action on Elder Abuse in the United Kingdom and the International Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse ( INPEA- 2002). To the World Health Organization (2002 ) violence against the elderly is any act, single or repetitive, or omission occurring in any relationship allegedly trust , which causes harm or nuisance to the elderly (WHO, 2002). Among the various types of violence, abuse and mistreatment can be physical, emotional or psychological , financial , sexual, abandonment, neglect and self-neglect , which may occur outside or inside the home of the elderly. In Brazil, the concept and the classification proposed by WHO are made official in the National Policy Document to Reduce Accidents and Violence of the Ministry of Health (2001). Objective: To analyze allegations of domestic violence registered or notified to the Municipal of Belo Horizonte Senior Council against older people in the period 2011-2013. Method: This is a quantitative, descriptive study with an analytical component cohort not 2013 years of competing on allegations of domestic violence against the elderly received by the Municipal Council of the Elderly of Belo Horizonte (MG). Results: In the period 859 complaints were registered, and 185 (21.5%) in 2011; 310 (36.1%) in 2012 and 364 (42.4%) in 2013. In the investigation period, the rate doubled from 6.15/ 10,000 seniors in 2011 to 12.05/10,000 seniors in 2013, with a predominance of victims female (70%) in all age groups. The age group with the highest incidence rate was the 80 years and more, which indicates greater vulnerability in this group, the risk of which has increased from 16.79/10,000 in as for the complainant, the main sources of complaints were anonymous, accounting for 50 %; health institutions, 21%; and family, 14%. Regarding the home of the elderly, by administrative regional, Regional which recorded the highest rate of complaints during the study period was the Northeast Regional (37.89 per 10,000 elderly) while the Regional fewer notified was the Regional Center-South (15.38 per 10,000 elderly) which houses the largest number of elderly people in the city. In the three years surveyed, the largest percentage increase of complaints was observed in Barreiro which recorded an the typology of more violence identified in the complaints , in isolation or associated with other types, it was the negligence (34%), followed by psychological violence (20%) and withdrawal (19%), with variation in the ranking as the Regional studied. It found that of 859 complaints, 66.13% of the victims suffered two or more types of associated violence. These 859 complaints in 1554 allowed the identification of sets of domestic violence typologies although not included in the rankings of violence proposed by the Ministry of Health (2001), the familiar failure was recorded in reports of violence received, representing 2.6% alone, and when coupled with abandonment, neglect and self-neglect, reached 6,7 % of total complaints in three years. This form of violence showed a similar distribution in Regional Barreiro, Northeast and Northwest in 2013. Among the complaints received by the Municipal Council of the Elderly in Belo Horizonte, 810 (94%) were referred to the Social Welfare Regional Administration, 18 (2%) to advocacy agencies, 5 (1%) for Health and 26 (3%) were reports of rights violations that were being followed by the services of PBH. This Study interested in monitoring the outcome of the complaints received in 2013. When analyzed the family relationship of the perpetrator to the victim, it was found that in 165 cases (45.3%) the violence was committed by more than one member of family in 105 (28.8%) for a child in 45 (12.4%) by the daughter and in 51 (14%) by other family members (brothers, grandchildren, nieces and spouses). Of the identified 195 offenders, 46 (23.59%) were abusers of alcohol and drugs and 9 (4.6%) had some type of mental suffering. Of the total 364 complaints received and forwarded by the Municipal Council of the Elderly for the services of the Municipality of Belo Horizonte in 2013 to 280 (77%) cases there was return of this referral. In 11 cases (3%) there was cancellation of the complaint by the complainant and in 73 (20%) after 17 months of monitoring, administrative regional had not given any return to the CMI/BH. Of the 280 complaints with return services reported that: closed the service in 151 (54%); monitoring continues for 55 (20%); and identified no rights violation situation in 74 (26%). The cases closed by the services of PBH, totaling 151, 16 (10.6%) were referred to other agencies; 21 (14%) there was exhaustion of possibilities of intervention services; 20 (13.2%) there was institutionalization of the elderly; 55 (36.4%) were resolved in the family environment after intervention services and 39 (25.8%) have died. It is worth noting that in over a third of cases of PBH services have to return the CMI/ BH, the intervention of these was resolute, but more than a quarter of the cases resulted in the victim's death. The realized returns to the CMI/BH, the maximum period of time for response was 120 weeks. Conclusion: The family space deserves to be the focus of attention of public politics especially with regard to negligence, the highest rate of violence detected. Often the family does not know how to care or not to care for their elderly. We need equipment that promotes daycare elder thus avoiding the institutionalization. However, the state's option to criminalize neglect and family abandonment does not solve the lack of support structures to take care of old age with dependence. This study enabled the survey of some problem situations and propositions as international and national recommendations
