Aversa – A new episode of youth violence shakes the city. A 14-year-old boy was brutally attacked by two twenty-year-olds while he was in via Seggio. The victim returned home with a swollen face, covered in bruises and cuts, telling his mother that he had been hit for no reason, thrown against a wall and even bitten.
The woman, shocked by her son's story, immediately accompanied him to the hospital and then to the police station to file a complaint.
“I would be able to identify those responsible,” the mother said, addressing the deputy of Alleanza Verdi Sinistra, Francesco Emilio Borrelli. “One of them practices martial arts. They targeted my son’s group of friends and he got the worst of it. Aversa, especially via Seggio, is now a dangerous area. We mothers are afraid, but we cannot keep our children prisoners at home. More controls are needed, especially during nightlife hours.”
The episode provoked a harsh reaction from Borrelli, who expressed solidarity with the family and called for immediate action: "There can be no discount for the violent. What happened is unacceptable. How many more tragedies do we have to count before we act with determination against this crime?
Anyone who beats without reason is a public danger and must be severely punished. Our cities cannot become no man's lands, dominated by criminals who terrorize young people."
The MP has already reported the case to the competent authorities, urging rapid intervention to identify and bring to justice those responsible. “Urban security – he concludes – must be strengthened with more stringent controls, especially in nightlife areas, to prevent similar episodes. No one should feel unpunished: those who use violence to impose themselves on others must answer for it fully before the law”.
