Brawl in Treviso. Conte to his parents: “If you suspect something, call us”

Meeting between the mayor and the mother of the boy who was beaten and sent to hospital after a “clarifying meeting” with some peers who, however, ambushed him

TREVISO. Mayor Mario Conte met, on Friday 18 March, the mother of the boy who, last Saturday, had to seek medical treatment after a quarrel between peers.

“The mother, whom I thank for the meeting and whose words have been misunderstood, assured me that she did not know anything about her son’s appointment and that if she had known about it she would have acted differently”, the mayor’s words .

“From this story and from the boy’s injury, to whom I wish a speedy recovery, it is important to grasp one aspect: when one senses something from the behavior or becomes aware of possible” settling of accounts “or” appointments “set on social media – on the other hand, a peaceful clarification, with the current means, can take place by telephone – it is advisable to notify the police in a perspective of surveillance and prevention ».

“As I have already had the opportunity to reiterate, institutions and law enforcement agencies can play their part in raising awareness and supervising, but they cannot replace the family environment. Institutions, law enforcement agencies, schools and parents can collaborate constructively to ensure that such incidents do not occur and to help children identify activities and grasp different stimuli than those that, unfortunately, we sometimes encounter “.
