"
After the case of Eleanor of small Enziteto, the death of Valerie Adelaide to highlight the failures of a system.
For Adel another tragedy fades away, and unfortunately we can not say "after that of Enziteto" because both of them among many other dramatic events have unfolded, many even complained, under the eyes indifferent to those who are too busy treating the interests of various kinds, and only felt a slight chill, which then passes immediately in front of similar stories.
more or less helpless witness to boring political forums that should guide the vote, but that risk, rather, to remove even the democratic and participatory act of hanging a sign on the symbol. Yeah, because our "portaportaioli" debating economics, micro or macro, and equity of tax wedges, forgotten - perhaps because he never knew them - the poor, those who are starving and living in hovels, a few kilometers from the glittering city.
The poor, the word is little used and that troubles the conscience. All we have said, at least once in their life that the poor do not because these are, however, have a luxurious car, a color TV and mobile phone the latest technology. A way as any to be covered by the fig leaf of respectability to help build the shame of these miseries, avoiding looking into his eyes, preferring to engage children in Africa or Brazil, maybe with a sponsorship, far from view and from the heart. A way as any to defend the ineptitude which the municipal social services and counseling or are forced by the chaos reigning in a juvenile court that, therefore, looks more like a Vucciria that an institution dedicated to defending and protect the rights of minors. The flowing in biblical times procure these corridors waiting months, sometimes years, when it comes to a measure that is exceeded perhaps because in the meantime the child is grown and, therefore, changed. Just the juvenile justice system should not suffer the same disease that afflicts the ordinary. It should be faster (not rushed), more timely. Instead, it happens that the procedures, except those of urgency, so lengthen the stroke, most often, the chronic social and family situations. Of course this difficult condition of the juvenile justice system also stems from the fact that the Juvenile Courts Puglia although three (and there are many), for several years sought desperately to stem the tidal wave of child and adolescent distress.
Why this constant in Puglia emergency, because the social situation is so serious? Two factors, among many others, I prefer to highlight. The first is cultural and I mentioned at the beginning, that is the strong tendency to hide the poverty, scotomize to deny it. The second is the heavy political legacy (memory of Christian Democrats) that reduces social intervention to charity. Not a few municipalities that still gives to the "poor" cash contributions, thus feeding a vision assitenzialistica small change to the detriment of the planning and design social.
The stories of "ordinary poverty," like this one from Adelaide, if reconstructed, if pursued beyond the record of scandal and judicial space screaming for a few days, probably would lead to human situations that have not been cured, but not diagnosed correctly from the beginning. The subjectivity and psychic suffering of those who commit such acts are covered by individual criminal responsibility which do exist, but we should not forget the political responsibilities of those who have not been able to avoid the poverty and let you incancrenisse.
