Family Members of Abanoud Abu Youssef Demand Urgent Law to Protect Students
The relatives of the 18-year-old teenager who lost his life in a high school in La Spezia have made a forceful call to the executive. They demand the prompt approval of legislation that guarantees the protection of students within educational premises. The demand was channeled through a silent demonstration and a meeting with the minister in charge, Giuseppe Valditara. 🕊️
A Claim Before the Authorities
The family met with Valditara at the prefecture headquarters to convey their request directly. They insist that the law is needed before tragedies repeat and request specific actions to make schools and high schools safer spaces. The government must now evaluate how to respond to this pressing demand.
Key Points of the Demand:- Approve specific legislation to protect students in classrooms.
- Implement practical measures to improve surveillance and control at school entrances.
- Act swiftly to prevent more victims of school violence.
“Sometimes bureaucracy legislates slower than the speed at which a student can feel fear on the way to class.”
The Investigation Advances and the School Resumes Activities
While relatives apply pressure, law enforcement continues to investigate the events. The school where the attack occurred has reopened, but incorporating a crucial component: offering professional psychological support to both students and teaching and administrative staff. The purpose is to help process the trauma and recover routine in an environment that prioritizes emotional well-being. 🏫
Actions Implemented in the School:- Reopening of facilities with an emotional support protocol.
- Availability of psychologists to assist those in need.
- Create an environment that allows resuming academic normality gradually and safely.
The Ministry of Education's Response
The meeting with Minister Valditara served for the family to express their demands beyond official condolences. They emphasized that words are not enough and they require swift and effective legislative actions. This situation has placed at the center of public debate the vulnerability that can exist within classrooms and the urgent need to establish mechanisms that prevent future violent episodes. The minister listened to the requests and now it is up to the government to consider the next step.
