Napoli. Firecrackers on passers-by, it's the new way of the baby gangs. Last Saturday along via Foria four scooters with minors on board obviously without helmets while struggling between cars stuck in traffic threw firecrackers among passers-by. There was so much fear among those present that they thought it was a slam or an ambush. But no, they were baby bikers who, without a clear and precise reason, started throwing firecrackers among people. Witness of everything was the regional councilor of the Greens, Borrelli who told the story on his Facebook page.
“They are very young, their ages range from six to ten and they terrorize via Foria – writes Borrelli. The baby gang commits small thefts, throws firecrackers at passers-by and on scooters with their license plates removed they speed by and even challenge police cars. Saturday night at 21.00:XNUMX PM they were in action right where Arturo was attacked. Extremely dangerous loose cannons, although very young, they manage to keep the neighborhood and its residents in check. They fear nothing, they know that their age protects them from consequences. It is necessary to teach these young prodigies of crime that they can be punished. They must be stopped, the punishable age lowered and removed from their families. Remove parental authority from those who raise delinquents”.
“The disturbing fact is that the average age is getting lower and lower – declared Maria Luisa Iavarone, mother of Arturo, victim of atrocious violence in that very area about a year ago. It means that not enough has been done. There is a close correlation between educational poverty, violence and school dropout. If some kids are racing around in the evening on scooters causing damage, it is clear that no one between family, school, institutions and law enforcement has managed to stop them. If we don’t address this, we will never get out of this”.
