Orlando's mother is looking for the truth, the 18-year-old boy from Turin who took his own life last Saturday. "We are looking for the truth - explains Anna in the many posts and videos on Facebook -, my son has never been alone. I never thought of an extreme gesture, not of his will, he was not a person who thought he was taking his own life. he knew that by the time he was 18 he could have made his own choices. Today I think he was deceived, mocked and humiliated, with such a fragile character. " The Turin Public Prosecutor's Office has opened a dossier on death in which homophobia and bullying crimes are hypothesized, especially after the comment "death to gays" appeared on the Instagram page. "You have been deceived - continues the mother on social networks - Plagiarized .. Humiliated mocked ... your character so fragile .. You did not know how to say no. You were thefriend of all. They all love you because you know how to make yourself loved. We will find justice. Now another task. Find the culprits and I will not rest ... Until the truth comes out .... "On March 27, also on Instagram, the boy had published a post:" The problem with closed minds is that they have an open mouth " , as if to indicate that his homosexuality was not always accepted. His brother, in an interview with the newspaper La Stampa, "had confessed to me that he was afraid of some people. He didn't explain who they were, he didn't mention names. He was worried. He said they questioned his homosexuality. "And now on Facebook he writes:" Hello my dear brother, your last greeting was to bring me a coffee with a Kinder bueno, then in the afternoon we made the tragic discovery,you left when you were only 18 without saying anything and you left us an insurmountable void, I hope that now where you are, you are quiet without thoughts ".
