October 07, 2019Military of the provincial command of the financial guard of Reggio Calabria have executed an ordinance of precautionary measure of suspension from the exercise of the public service, issued by the magistrate of the Court of Locri on proposal of the Prosecutor, against a teacher of the Palizzi Marina primary school.

The students, coming home from school, often told their families about slaps, kicks and thrusts, unjustifiably received by the teacher during her class hours. Some of the frightened children had come to pretend to be sick or to specifically ask parents not to go to school on days when the teacher was lecturing.

The "shocking confirmation" of the facts reported by the minors, underlines the Gdf, came from the vision of some videos recorded inside the classes with cameras installed without the knowledge of pupils and staff. The images, in fact, showed multiple episodes of physical violence, beatings and shocks, as well as psychological and verbal violence on the part of the teacher who, often, used a "sneaky and scurrilous" language, calling his pupils "stupid and pigs", and sometimes threatening.

The military investigated the situation and with the investigating judicial authority the children's stories were heard with the help of a psychologist. During these interviews, the children have repeatedly referred to offensive behavior, sometimes even violent, positions of the teacher. They told of "a bad teacher", completely indifferent to the suffering brought to the physically or verbally abused child.

"We were all shocked, there were two children on the ground and the teacher who had hurt him replied that she didn't care," said one of them, while another said he had intentionally received a "slap where I had the scar of a surgical operation ". Once the scenario had been analyzed, the Locri Public Prosecutor asked the investigating judge to apply the disqualification measure for the suspension of the course, which was issued by the competent judge for 12 months.
