They were held liable for moral and biological damages caused by their son, who in March 2015 raped a classmate, a minor like him. They will have to pay 27,000 euros. After the criminal judgment in 2022 that recognized the boy's responsibility, the parents were sued in a civil case for "culpa in educando", that is, for not having taught their son the basic principles of respect for people, but instead the use of violence and prevarication enacted by the boy. The Florence Court ruled for the conviction. Today the victim of the abuse, then 16 years old, is a young woman: after school she managed to build a life for herself, despite that terrible event that long made her "unfit". She has always worked and has now decided to stop in order to take care of her soon-to-be-born child. However, the signs of that dramatic event are still there. And so, after specialized counseling, Judge Massimo Maione Mannamo, decided to settle the sum of 21,105 euros.
