Naples. The parents of two minors found armed with a knife, have apologized to the Carabinieri. An important signal: something that should always happen in cases like this. And instead they are often justified or they justify themselves.
The wave of emotional outrage in recent days following the murder of 15-year-old Emanuele Tufano from the Sanità district is starting to leave its mark on the consciences of Neapolitan parents. It's still a small sign, but it's a first sign.
It happened last night when two minors, aged 16 and 14, were caught armed with knives, with blades measuring 23 centimetres from tip to handle, during checks by Carabinieri from the Centro Company, together with patrols from the radiomobile unit and the Campania regiment, among the nightlife venues of Chiaia and the historic centre of Naples.

The two did not know what to answer, they handed over the weapons but asked not to notify their parents. The carabinieri instead, as per their duty, did so: the parents, the military report, apologized. The young people will be reported for illegal possession of weapons, the two knives seized.
At least this time the kids They didn't justify themselves with the now-clichéd phrase: "We're doing it to defend ourselves." And hopefully, the lesson has been learned.
