Sant'Antimo – A young girl filmed being assaulted by a peer and then teased on social media. Unfortunately, this is not the first and will not be the last case of its kind.
The mother of the beaten girl, the facts occurred in Sant'Antimo, in the province of Naples, since the video went viral on social media, filed a complaint with the police who are now trying to identify the violent girl but also who spread the video online.
As can be seen from the video that was broadcast on his channels by the deputy Francesco Emilio Borrelli, to whom it was sent, a girl first pushed a peer, then slapped her and finally dragged her by the hair to the ground. To stop the beating, which risked degenerating further, was only the intervention of a boy present.
The scene, of course, was filmed by the cell phones of those present, instead of thinking of stopping the attack, and then published on the Instagram profile of the same attacker, with a caption that reads: “'Nu pacchero e sta 'nderr'” (one slap and he goes to the ground), followed by an emoji of a laugh. A real boast, a digital trophy.
“We are facing a social and cultural aberration,” Borrelli said. “These episodes cannot be filed away as ‘pranks’. There is a culture of violence that is fueled and legitimized every day on social media, in family contexts and unfortunately also in the educational absence of some schools.
An extraordinary plan for civic education, legality and respect is urgently needed in schools and in the areas most exposed to these dynamics. But we also need a collective awareness: we can no longer remain passive spectators.”
"I will report the incident to the police to ascertain any responsibilities and promote immediate intervention by the competent authorities. These girls and boys must be helped, yes, but also stopped. Because violence is never an opinion and can never be a show." - concluded the deputy.

L’episodio descritto è molto grave e fa riflettere su come i giovanni si comportano oggigiorno. La violenza non dovrebbe essere mai accettata, ma purtroppo capita spesso e non sappiamo come fermarla. Servirebbero misure più forti.
