Naples – Regarding the case of a young boy with autism who was mistreated at a school in Scampia, which has recently resurfaced in the media, clarifications have been released from Palazzo San Giacomo. The City of Naples, through Councilor for Social Policies Chiara Marciani, clarifies that the incidents date back about a year ago and that the situation has been addressed by local authorities since the very beginning.

Continuous care and closeness to the family

"First and foremost, we wish to express our solidarity with the child and his family, who are at the heart of our services," reads the official statement released by Councilor Marciani. The council member emphasizes that the family unit has never been left alone: ​​managers and social workers have monitored the situation through ongoing support, seeking to promptly respond to all needs that have emerged over time and maintaining constant communication with the family.

School support and the transition to the new institution

A key point of the note concerns the support provided within the school environment. The Municipality guaranteed specialized assistance, which was subsequently reorganized to assign a different worker to the child. The administration also supported the child and his parents through the delicate transition to a new school, working to ensure continuity of support and a smooth transition into the new educational environment.

The protection of minors and the silent work of operators

"Protecting minors and supporting their families, especially in the most vulnerable situations, requires presence, listening, and continuity," Marciani concluded. The councilor finally reiterated the value of the work social workers do daily, away from the spotlight, assuring that the Municipality will continue to stand by the child and his family to safeguard their well-being and development.
