Naples. Friday evening, at Piazza Cavour, a 14-year-old girl, accompanied by a friend, was approached with an excuse by a group of peers near the Expert store.

The components of the baby gang They surrounded the victims, blocked them and began to beat them brutally, while some of them filmed the scene with their cell phones, making sure that their faces were clearly visible.
One of the two girls managed to escape, while the other remained at the mercy of the attackers until the intervention of some passers-by who witnessed the scene and put an end to the beating.
The 14-year-old was taken by her parents to the Pellegrini hospital, where she was found to have multiple injuries that will heal in seven days. The girl's mother decided to contact the deputy Francesco Emilio Borrelli and the journalist Pino Grazioli to report the incident and try to prevent similar episodes in the future.
“A full-blown cowardly beating, in the classic style of baby gangs: they approach the victims with an excuse and then start kicking and punching while some accomplices film the attack with their cell phones. A criminal dynamic, planned and carried out to hurt and humiliate the victims, in an attempt to dissuade them from reporting.
But this time it went badly for them. The girl and her mother had the courage to report it. And we will keep the attention high on this story until all the protagonists of the attack are identified and punished as they deserve.
The girl and her mother had the courage to report
From some information received on site, it seems that the previous day, Thursday, a 17-year-old girl was the victim of a similar episode. We must immediately ascertain whether there is a baby gang who serially attacks defenseless girls. Which would radically change their position towards justice."
These are the words of Borrelli, who also asked for the verification of the surveillance cameras of the commercial establishments near the place of the attack.
“My daughter was returning home with a friend,” explained Anna Albino, mother of the young victim, “her father would have arrived shortly to accompany her. Instead, in a few moments, she was attacked for no reason and with extreme ferocity by this gang.
“We must stop these kids”
What shocks me is the wickedness with which they tried to film a video of the attack to post in the chats. I hope they are identified as soon as possible; I reported it because I don't want other mothers to have to go through what I'm going through, suffering for gratuitous violence perpetrated against my daughter.
We need to stop these kids and explain to them the harm they cause to their peers and their families with their violent behavior."
