The report sent to Valditara is now added to the investigation of the Cassino Prosecutor’s Office against unknown persons and that of the Juvenile Prosecutor’s Office with four suspects: “More could have been done”
«The school lied about the suicide»: this is the conclusion of the inspectors sent by the Ministry of Education and Merit to investigate the school from which Paolo Mendico came, the 14-year-old who took his own life on 11 September the night before returning to school to attend the second year in the Santi Cosma e Damiano branch of the Pacinotti technical institute in Latina. An investigation is open, with no suspects at the moment, at the Cassino Police Department. At the Juvenile Prosecutor’s Office, four pupils at the school are under investigation for incitement to suicide. However, now the report from the inspectors sent by the Minister of Education and Merit Giuseppe Valditara weighs heavily, according to which the school should have applied anti-bullying procedures because the class had “behaviors that did not comply with the school regulations”. Instead she would have remained helpless in the face of aggressive behavior, even bullying. The boy, due to his long hair which was then cut, he was nicknamed Nino D’Angelo.
«Conduct of omissions»
So, as he writes the Republicthree disciplinary measures were requested by the inspectors for the school manager, the deputy manager and the branch manager, guilty of “conduct of omissions”. Procedures are underway for the notification of news of direct involvement in Paolo’s death. On the judicial front, the charge for the four classmates is dincitement to suicide. The investigation opened by the Cassino Prosecutor’s Office concerning school staff is currently against unknown persons. To find out more, analyzes of the chats between the boys are underway, with contents that reveal disturbing aspects of the story. What is striking, for now, is the detailed report, from which emerges the truth of self-defense on the part of the teachers who makes the words written in the class council minutes more reliable compared to the version they provided. In short, they would have lied. From the papers emerge critical issues in the class since the previous year, the first of Paolo’s attendance. The vice-principal, in the anti-bullying team, denied that any acts of intimidation had ever emerged against the boy, which were instead repeatedly reported by Paolo’s parents who reported meetings with the teacher confirmed, among others, by the student representative. According to the student, one day the teacher came into the classroom to reiterate in general terms the values of respect towards one’s partner.
