Alessia Prend ‘classmates, explains her middle school teacher, will need psychological support
When to die is an innocent soul like that of Alessia Get, the child crushed by a swing in the province of L’Aquila, it is not only a family who suffer, but an entire community. The 12-year-old was preparing to enter seventh grade and now her teacher and classmates will have to learn how to handle this massive drama.
It was an afternoon like so many others a San Pelino, a small village near Avezzano (AQ). Alessia and many other children were playing carefree in the oratory’s playground, when the unthinkable happened.
The swing, built in an artisanal way and not up to standard, gave way and the heavy wooden beam fell right on the 12-year-old, killing her practically on the spot.
The Prosecutor of Avezzano obviously has opened an investigation on the incident and the prosecutor Cerrato has ordered the autopsy on the little body of the little girl.
Beyond all the bureaucratic factors that will follow, obviously remains the ache. An immense and unbridgeable pain, that of the parents and sister of Alessia Prendis.
A pain that inexorably overwhelms everyone. From the inhabitants of San Pelino, who knew Alessia and loved her for her smile, from her to his classy companions and his teacherswho will now have to start the school year without that sunny and always respectful child.
The words of the teacher of Alessia Prend
Annamaria Contestabileteacher of literature and coordinator at the Corradini-Fermi middle school in Avezzano, gave an interview toHandleexplaining how this one tragedy is difficult to accept and metabolize also for all the school staff and, above all, for Alessia’s classmates.
The pupils are very tested. We will need support on return, from alternative figures to teachers. Let’s think of a psychological contribution, but we will proceed step by step.
The first steps, explains the teacher, will be to stay as much as possible close to the family by Alessia. Attending the wake and funeral.
Then, in the coming weeks, we will think above all of how to help friends by Alessia.
We will resume some social projects that helped us face difficult times last year, such as the various quarantines that divided the children for a long time or the work we did with some local professionals on grieving.
