She mistreated her three-year-old son by beating him, spanking him and locking him in the bedroom with a single bucket full of water so that he could drink. The reason? It was too lively.
A 31-year-old woman of Romanian nationality was arrested today in Friuli and locked up in the Venice prison. All in execution of a European arrest warrant from the German authorities.
The facts date back to a year ago, when the woman lived with her family - three-year-old son, eldest son and husband from whom she is now divorcing - in a small town in Germany . The little boy had been too lively and had turned the house upside down, so she spanked him and then locked him in the room giving him a bucket of water. It was not the only episode of beatings , the neighbors often heard the screams and cries of the child and alerted the police.
The German agents made some inspections in the house, then the family disappeared overnight, leaving Germany. She moved to Italy where she found a job as a worker, and from there she left aboard a bus bound for Romania, but at the border the vehicle was stopped by a patrol of the carabinieri of Aurisina (Trieste), who suffered identified the woman as the recipient of a European arrest warrant. Now for her the extradition and the trial in Germany, where she faces up to ten years in prison .
