BRESCIA. A 4-year-old boy was snatched from the hands of the social worker by his father, who then ran away with his son. It happened in the afternoon in Rodengo Saiano, in Bresciano. The man, separated and originally from Eastern Europe, barricaded himself at home with his son. Negotiations are underway between the carabinieri and the man.
The Court had entrusted the child to the mother, arranging for the father to secure meetings to protect the child. According to the first reconstructions, after shoving the social worker during a meeting, the man closed himself in a room, shouting disconnected phrases. Threatening the social worker, he also showed a gun: it is not clear if it is real or if it is a toy weapon. The carabinieri have demarcated the area and are dealing with the man, trying to calm him down and asking him to let the child go.
