The story of the thirteen-year-old girl from Catania who was raped by a gang in front of her boyfriend has not slipped a bit too quickly into the background of our attention, has it? Because if I tell you about seven young people from Catania who raped a girl, no one will think that I have something against Catania or feel authorized to give the evil eye to the first person from Catania who passes by. But in this way, we end up avoiding a serious debate on the uprooted and often mismanaged context in which many male adolescents just arrived in Italy live.
And to commit a further injustice towards that girl, making her feel like a second-class victim. Gramellini’s Café awaits you here, from Tuesday to Saturday. Subscribers to Corriere also have “PrimaOra”, the newsletter that allows you to start the day at best.
