A bullied boy who no longer leaves the house for fear of his peers persecuting him.
It happens to casaluce, a small town in the Caserta area, and it is the mayor Francesco Luongo who reports with a video an incident that still needs to be clarified. Luongo explains that the mother of a boy told him that "her son almost doesn't want to leave the house anymore because he is being targeted by a small group of peers.
This is very serious but it is not the first time it has happened; it is not the first cry of pain that both I and the school principal have heard. The time has come to put an end to this situation. These are intolerable behaviors that we will deal with with the Carabinieri and the local police”.
For Luongo "it is clear that there is a situation that is no longer sustainable, it is unthinkable that a young person should be afraid to go out because he is targeted by a group of kids. We accompanied our beloved Madonna in procession in our city in recent days.
Among the porters there are taller, more robust, shorter, thinner people, they all join together and support the same weight, they do it because they feel part of a community and because they have a common passion. These people are attached to each other and never step on each other's toes on purpose because they know they could cause problems for the entire group. Our young people should take this example as a philosophy of life.
There are young people who are weaker, more studious, others less so, but you can feel like men only if you help each other, if instead you feel like men because in a group or individually you think you are stronger or because you are taller and you think you can overpower a friend, I tell you that if you were adults you would be cowards but you are young and you must understand that this is not the way to feel like men. Only if you help the weakest can you feel like Men” he concludes.
