Father denounces his 16-year-old son who had beaten a schoolmate
He denounces his sixteen-year-old son who had beaten a 14-year-old schoolmate of his: it happened in Castrolibero, in the province of Cosenza. The episode, which dates back to a few days ago, rose to the headlines not only for the gesture of the parent, but also for a letter that the latter wrote in which he expressed all his pain for the serious episode of which the boy had become the protagonist.
“A few hours ago we learned, from our son, that he is the author of the attack on the young man from Castrolibero – wrote the man – And, from that same moment, the world collapsed on us, with only one certainty: that of having to inform the Police “.
“The fact, from whatever angle you look at it, is of unprecedented gravity. It is serious for the young victim, it is serious for her family, it is serious for our son, it is serious for our daughter who, by attending that same school, risks carrying the burden of behavior that is not hers and, if possible, it is even more serious for my wife and I, who are experiencing the drama of failure. Because at this moment we find ourselves experiencing that parenting is truly the most difficult job in the world ”.
“We do nothing but ask ourselves where we went wrong, after having lived our whole life, and our being a family, guided by the values of welcome, fairness and a sense of responsibility: values light years away from these actions. I don’t know if we will ever have an answer to this question, but, precisely on the basis of the values that guide us, we believe it is right that our child learns to assume his responsibilities and to answer for his choices and actions, even though he is still a minor “.
“May the deepest sense of our pain for what happened reach the mother and father of the young victim – concludes the man in the letter – which is only the other side of the same coin”.
