April 22, 2015 He came home with the collar of his sweatshirt and jacket burned.

Burned by the pack, by a group of 3 or 4 boys who have decided to vent their boredom and violence on that disabled 23-year-old.

He must have thought they were friends, like the ones he was playing cards with.

They gave him a little push, but between friends it is done.

Then they put out a cigarette on him, and then the pain took the place of the game.

A slap on the back of the head has also arrived, so much to see black.

And he made fun of them, the ugly ones.

Not even time to realize that he was the victim of a cruel game by the pack, that the neck of the sweatshirt and jacket he was wearing were burned.

The others watched and did nothing to prevent that shame.    



The episode is told by the mother of a disabled boy from Rieti, aged 23, who in recent days was the victim of a heavy attack by some of his peers, and for this he turned to the Carabinieri.  



The woman said that the episode took place in a room in front of several people and no one intervened.

"My son was in a diner - said the woman - sitting on his own playing cards with two boys, then another passes and gives him a slap on the back of the head, they begin to annoy him, they tear his cards and throw them at him on the ground. My son bends down to pick them up, and as he gets up he feels his neck burn. "    



Only one boy intervened, the woman told the investigators, and tried to stop the herd: "Then my son ran away, went home and told me everything. I went to the scene, I asked for explanations, but no one. he replied, indeed they laughed ", added the woman.

"My son - continues the story - is now taking drugs. He didn't even need them when his father died. But the violence he suffered deeply shaken him. He found it difficult to sleep, he needs tranquilizers. the first few days were very difficult. Also because he had to tell stories, see the photos to recognize the various boys ".    



The Carabinieri are now investigating the incident and are trying to identify the three, or perhaps four boys, who attacked the disabled young man through the images recorded by a camera
