04 June 2019They made fun of everything and every opportunity was good. We also targeted her for her debilitating illness. Every day at school she received heavy insults, coming to involve her in a group on whatsapp entitled 'We hate you'.

The victim is a 12-year-old girl who got sick from the anxiety caused by the behavior of a group of classmates.

The seven children held responsible for bullying, after investigations by the investigative section of the local police of Piacenza, were investigated by the Bologna Prosecutor's Office for minors for continued private violence, threats and defamation: however their position, not being attributable because they are minors 14 years, will later be archived. They are all between 12 and 13 years old and attend middle school.

The chat included boys and girls of the same class as the victim and all between 12 and 14 years old. After the investigations, conducted by the agents of the Judicial Police team of the Local Police of Piacenza under the orders of the commander Giorgio Benvenuti, one of the bullies - considered among the most active in the chat - wrote a letter of apology to the 12 year old, saying he was sorry for what he had done .
