The family of the boy who fired an air pistol against Maria Cristina Finatti , the professor of the Itis Viola Marchesini of Rovigo, could take criminal and civil action for defamation and moral damages, if the teacher continues to spread "untruthful" news about repentance and apologies after the episode.
The family lawyer, the lawyer Nicola Bergamini said it: « The pupil met the teacher at school and apologized, and also the parents . Until now, the family has never wanted to expose themselves, in order not to feed the media process, but the teacher's presence in the media is constant".
Again: «The information provided by Finatti on the boy is absolutely inaccurate, if not downright false. The episode is not disputed, but the teacher says that the boys have not repented or apologized, that there has not been a re-education process and still today they live peacefully without punishment. This is not true .'
The boy who fired, continues Bergamini, «apologized personally and together with his family on various occasions, starting from the very day of the episode. As soon as he got home that day, he sent an email to the teacher , who had dropped out of school, immediately apologizing, asking for a telephone contact to schedule a meeting to apologize in person. Professor Finatti replied after an hour, she appreciated that the boy had realized the seriousness of the fact and accepted the apologies , so much so that she did not consider a personal meeting necessary».
The teacher, Bergamini then pointed out, «in the days following the shootings she was never at home, the pupil met her at school and apologized again. The parents went to school to apologize .'
What the boy's parents dispute with the teacher is therefore the fact that «she repeats that she feels abandoned. He's doing damage to the boy, painted as a monster. But he did and is doing volunteer work, because he thinks the re-education process is right . Since the teacher's presence in the media is constant, the media and TVs deal with it. He says the boys did it to show off on social media, but the boy has never been featured on any social network. If we continue to generalize about the boy's conduct that is not true, the family will want to protect his image, both in criminal and civil matters ».
