A trivial motive that triggers terrible violence that suddenly unleashes. Filippo Manni, 21 years old, he confessed to killing his mother, Teresa summary, Hitting it on Tuesday afternoon with a beekeeping in their home in Racale (Lecce) because he had scolded him to be returned without greeting. «At a certain point everything went out. I went upstairs, I took the acceptance and killed him, “he declared in front of the magistrate and his lawyer,” other times I thought about it saying that I would kill him and in the end I did it “.
Paolo Crepet, psychiatrist, sociologist and author of several best-selors, in the bookstore recently with The crime of thinking – beyond conformism, exercises of freedom (Mondadori), is tranchant on the effective crime in Salento: “I don’t know the details but we always start from the assumption, positive, that we know who is close to us and instead, today more than ever, nobody knows anything more than the others, as Flaubert already said, and that nobody knows anything about anyone is a very serious problem, and I say it for years now”.
Professor, also in this case the opinions of acquaintances, neighbors and friends tell of a quiet boy and without particular warnings.
«Let’s say that the neighbor is not the best source that a journalist may have. If we think that a person can be classified as “good boy” or without particular torments or ailments because we cross it on the landing and tells us “good morning” or writes us on WhatsApp or on social media we are just off the road. So the bad guy who would be, what is coming out with the gun in his pocket? Behind these crimes there is a general shoulder strap ».
Whose?
«The school, for example, no longer exists. Today the high school exam begins but I challenge any teacher to say if Giacomo or Camilla are mature or not. Mature for what? Why do they know how to write twenty lines on a proposed track? But is this maturity? Unfortunately, the school is no longer an educational agency useful to understand who the boys and girls are and in my opinion it is a huge problem. I have been thinking about it for thirty years, I have written about forty books but I don’t know how much knowledge there is on this point ».
In this case, at the base of the murder, there would be disagreements between mother and son on the university path of the latter who wanted to study music after the experience in Rome at Sapienza.
«It is likely that there is a frustrated dream at the base, like that of making music. What we can see, I do not say to understand, but to see it is the drop that makes the vase overflow, not the rest. One thing is certain and that I see every day and goes beyond this case of news: there is a total inability on the part of the boys to tolerate frustration, an inability that does not always lead to the murder, otherwise it would be an eco -friendly, but leads not to tolerate anything: the exam gone badly, the non -missed appointment, the smartphone that is stuffed, the friends who did not warn you to get out, the ugly vote at school, Work. Because these guys were pulled up with a billion yes and padded with any form of well -being, not just material. If one at the age of 13 goes to party and wants the beer there is, someone has to tell him no, the beer does not. But if nobody tells him, he thinks he is cool and instead he is just an idiot, because that no serves to him and his growth. But how many books will we have to write because people understand this? ».
The ax used by the boy to kill the mother was a tool that belonged to her previous scout experience.
“Scouting is a very important educational experience but it does not mean anything because some learn and others don’t, some want to learn and others do not. Growth is a very delicate and individual process for which general observations cannot be drawn. The prevention of an heinous act is difficult even if there are roads that must be tempted, as long as you have the courage to do it ».
Which?
«Saying no because the no help to grow but the no, for those who say them, they are tiring, weigh, they are a clutter and many want to spare themselves this effort and do not want to be educators of their children but friends. Since, however, you cannot make laws that tell parents how to behave, I believe that the prohibition of mobile phone at school wanted by the Minister of Education for the next school year is a wise choice because there are flowers of scientific studies that show that they are a source of anxiety, stress, ailments and do not allow a harmonious development of their emotional relationships. And helping a person grows harmoniously does not mean preventing family crimes but helps. It is like saying: I make a person train to develop their muscles but this does not mean that it will win 200 meters ».
Doesn’t the violence of this crime strike it?
«There are two reflections to do: the violence has always been there as the 1960 masterpiece film by Luchino Visconti reminds us, Rocco and his brothers, Where one of the boys, twenty years old, kills his wife. Violence has always been a language. The other thing that should be added is that with digital technologies and the advent of social networks violence and way of communicating has strengthened, it has become more pervasive, sometimes almost a game: I disagree with you and I kill you or hurt you, even morally, which is a form of violence too. That’s why banning the cell phone in class is an important choice even if not decisive ».
