Napoli, the problem of young people without helmets on scooters returns. Viral video of a little girl without a helmet riding a scooter encouraged by her father. Borrelli and Simioli: "Let's relaunch the campaign against helmet use. The police must repress this phenomenon, wearing a helmet is of vital importance".
A little girl of a few years without a helmet riding a scooter while her father sitting in the back, cheers her on and films her, is what can be seen in a video, which appears to have been filmed in the Naples area, that a citizen reported to the Regional Councilor of the Greens Francesco Emilio Borrelli. "We sent the video to the police so that this parent can be identified and reported. Wicked, that's the only word to describe this parent. This is irresponsibility and idiocy, a parent should protect their children and certainly not put their safety at risk by giving them bad teachings.
The most infuriating thing is that this video comes out a few days after the death of Giuseppe Morra, a 15-year-old boy who died following an accident in Marano with his scooter, who was not wearing a helmet. A tragedy that perhaps could have been avoided if only the boy had worn a safety helmet, we are truly heartbroken. We must make the boys, but also everyone else, understand how important and fundamental it is to wear a safety helmet. This is why we decided to relaunch a 2013 campaign, which saw the collaboration of Franco Ricciardi, to promote the use of helmets, a protective tool that saves lives. The police must intensify checks on the roads and repress this phenomenon, of not wearing helmets, which has returned strongly on our roads, we need to take a heavy hand against offenders.” - were the words of the Regional Councilor of the Greens Francesco Emilio Borrelli and the radio host of “La Radiazza” Gianni Simioli.
