Aurora Tila, the 13-year-old who died on October 25 after falling from the terrace above her home in Piacenza, turned to ChatGpt, asking for advice on her relationship with the 15-year-old later accused of her murder (with the aggravating circumstance of stalking).
"Do you think I should leave him?"; "How can I tell if it's true love or toxic love?" , Aurora asked between the summer of 2024 and the first days of October. The conversations are in the documents of the investigation by the Bologna Juvenile Prosecutor's Office. "She confided in artificial intelligence," explains lawyer Anna Ferraris, who, together with her colleague Mario Caccuri, is assisting Aurora's mother, "asking if, given his behavior, she should leave him. And the application replied that yes, she should leave him . Talking and asking for advice from artificial intelligence, rather than from parents or friends, is a habit that all teenagers have today and that has developed since the Covid pandemic. This is why the use of these applications should be regulated."
"My revenge plan starts now, Wednesday 9 October at 2:50 am" : this is one of the many messages collected by the Bologna Juvenile Prosecutor's Office and which led to the 15-year-old accused of Aurora's murder being charged with the aggravating circumstance of stalking . The 15-year-old (present in court today) is accused of having repeatedly threatened and harassed Aurora after she had decided to end the relationship, with violent gestures such as slaps and shoves and also sending her, in the period immediately preceding her death, numerous messages aimed at forcing her will, denigrating her, humiliating her, frightening her, and in any case forcing her to continue seeing him.
According to the prosecution's hypothesis, the boy pushed the 13-year-old from the balcony on the seventh floor of the building, then hitting her on the hands to make her fall after she had desperately clung to the railing .
