MARCANISE – Threats, beatings and constant requests for money: this is the dramatic picture that emerged from the complaint of a 74-year-old woman, victim of her cohabiting son, a 39-year-old arrested yesterday evening by the Carabinieri of the Marcianise Station.
The man, already a protagonist of episodes of domestic violence, was stopped at his home and taken to the prison of Santa Maria Capua Vetere. He will have to answer to the charges of mistreatment in the family, aggravated personal injury and extortion. The intervention of the military was triggered after the woman, now exasperated, turned to the carabinieri for help.
Despite an initial hesitation in reporting her son, due to fear and family ties, the 74-year-old found the strength to tell of the constant harassment she had suffered. What pushed her to break the silence was a new episode of threats, which occurred while she was in the barracks: her son, in a fit of rage, began sending her a barrage of offensive and intimidating messages.
By showing the chat on her cell phone to the military, the woman was finally able to free herself from the weight of fear that had oppressed her for some time. The carabinieri, having collected all the necessary elements, immediately intervened at the home of the 39-year-old, where the arrest was made.
The case has shaken the community of marcianise, bringing the unfortunately timely issue of domestic violence back to public attention. Law enforcement reiterates the importance of reporting all forms of abuse, recalling that there are tools and institutions ready to intervene to protect victims and ensure their protection.

It is sad to read about these episodes of violence, especially in the family. The woman did well to report, even if it is difficult. I hope that the authorities help the victims find the strength to speak up and get help.
