Death threats, insults and blows to the two children from the previous marriage . A delicate and complex affair on which the Court of Oristano will have the last word: the mother, 40 years old, and her current partner (53) are on trial on charges of abusing correction methods.
The facts disputed by the prosecution would have occurred between May 2019 and March 2020. It was the spring of three years ago when the investigations had begun, the environmental interceptions from which an alarming picture had emerged that had triggered the complaint for the couple . According to the first findings, the mother and her current partner would have used to have rather nonchalant attitudes in addressing the twelve-year-old girl and her 9-year-old brother .
Insults and offensive words such as "stupid" or "donkey" but also threats "I'll bang your head against the wall" and still the very heavy one "if you don't read I'll kill you" . And then slaps, spankings, kicks and blows with a slipper . On one occasion they had chased the girl with a stick, another time the mother allegedly hit the boy with a ladle, about ten times in a row, who would not have read well the text assigned at school. An unsustainable situation for kids.
In front of the judge Cristiana Argiolas and the prosecutor Sara Ghiani today the mother told her version claiming that the insults were not addressed to the children but to the little dog . And again on the beatings with the ladle he clarified that in reality he never hit his children with that object . No excessive methods, according to the woman, at most a few spankings . The couple, assisted by the lawyer Antonella Piredda, has always denied the accusations.
