Naples, the mother of the injured 17-year-old with Emanuele: "Stop him before it's too late"

Naples. More than a cry of pain, it is a manifesto, a manifesto of denunciation that should be approved and published by all parents of children at risk in the city. It is that of the mother of the 17-year-old wounded in the firefight in which 15-year-old Emanuele Tufano died.

Yesterday the woman appeared before the Juvenile Court of Naples and recorded a video, later released by the deputy Francesco Emilio Borrelli, in which she recounts her anguish, her fears, her worries and now her requests for help for her son in danger because of his acquaintances.

Yesterday the parents' network took to the field and delivered a document to the prefect Michele di Bari who received them during the committee for order and security.

The young woman explained: “I am the mother of the second victim, the one shot in the arm, I am a mother who reported her son months ago, I am a mother who walked with social workers to get help.”

And yet: “I shouted more than once that my son should be locked up in a community and given an education because I, as a mother, could no longer handle it. Today I find myself in front of the Juvenile Court, because I want to understand what their intentions are. If they should also have my son killed since he walked with boys who live this life.

 I screamed so much that my son was not walking well. It took me a week to recover. To be a little lucid to understand what happened. Even though I scolded him, called the lawyers, the police. I did everything because I already knew that something like this could happen.

But no one listened to me, now I'm here. I'm not leaving until they lock my son in a community. They have to help him. My son is not well psychologically, he attacks me, he doesn't listen to me. Maybe he's still in danger. Because I don't know exactly what happened that night.

“In Naples every night there are kids walking around armed”

Now it's too late, it's too late for Emanuele because every night there are boys who walk armed, boys who don't stop. I'm not the kind of mother who hides her children. I don't wait for a month to pass and they forget about the tragedy.

 Enough with my son, they must arrest him and lock him up in a community to protect him and help him."

After the video was released, Borrelli asked for "explanations from the authorities because if a mother reports her son because she fears he has become a criminal and no one listens to her, it means that our society has become too selfish and arrogant. The problem of the baby paranze should be taken lightly".
