Slapped and mocked by the gang, then forced to kiss the hands of his tormentors. It happened in the province of Avellino. The victim is a minor, attacked by a gang of boys older than him. The sad episode of bullying was filmed and spread online.
The images were published by Avs deputy Francesco Emilio Borrelli, after making the protagonists unrecognizable. Borrelli explains that he received the film from Sirignano, a small town in the province of Avellino. "If you talk to your mother, we'll hang you like Christ on the Cross," one of the threats addressed to the boy.
There is a first video where the very young man is beaten inside an apartment by an older boy. In a second video the victim, surrounded, is first threatened so that he does not report the incident to his mother and then hit again with several slaps. "A very serious episode for which I hope that the entire local community will openly side with the very young victim, helping us to trace the identity of all the protagonists of this cowardly aggression", comments Borrelli.
