Dear Director Feltri, the operators in the RSA of Latera (Viterbo), immortalized in the images while they commit abuses and violence on the elderly entrusted to them, must be fired in the trunk and punished with one hundred lashes each on the public square, other than suspension from work, in Waiting for a process that will hardly give them the right and hard punishment.

Dear Rocco,
Too often the chronicles put us under their eyes gruesome realities that hide beyond the walls of rest homes and care that are, in truth, real hells on earth, lager in which systematic torture and violence of each are practiced Type, including the sexual one, as happened precisely in the RSA you mentioned, that of Latera, in the province of Viterbo. Here the guests were insulted, beaten, punished, threatened with death, tied to beds, left dirty and without food, padded with calming drugs. It impressed me the fact that an elderly, repeatedly harassed, was even raped with a stick, while it was immobilized on the mattress. What heinousness should you have to achieve all this? Six are the social and health workers who would have made themselves authors of these crimes, three of which ended up in prison, three others were suspended by the profession.
It is clear that criminal responsibilities have yet to be ascertained and that you are innocent up to the third degree of judgment, however these conducts are so shameful and evident, according to the audio and video material collected by the carabinieri, which I find insufficient suspension. In fact, the suspension involves interruption for a certain period of time from work. Yet a subject who has raised even a finger at an defenseless human being should never and then never, or for any reason, be able to return to dealing with fragile subjects, as his nature is incompatible with the function.
Crimes against defenseless individuals such as children arouse tuner even among the most ruthless criminals. And this is the reason why pedophiles are punished by the same prisoners in prison, so much so that it is necessary to protect the condemned for pedophilia, reserving their arms and appropriate rays in order to isolate them compared to the other imprisoned population. I think that the same disgust should produce violent crimes against the elderly in us, as they are in some way weak bands as the minors, all the more if you are infirm and forced to live within institutions that we once called “hospices” and That today, this term is too hard, we call “rest homes”. We delude ourselves that, defining things differently, we can sweeten them and improve them. Instead no.
Since the violence against the old are rampant and also considered the progressive increase of the Canuta population, a phenomenon that makes the Italian one the longest -lived people in the world together with the Japanese one, it would be appropriate to exacerbate the penalties envisaged for those who stain certain crimes to the detriment of grandparents. But above all, it would be essential that the cameras, whose presence is provided by law, were actually installed within these structures in order to generate a sort of deterrent effect on those who are able to perform such abominable acts against people completely unable to respond and protect themselves from such abuse. In fact, it is only thanks to the presence of the hidden cameras installed for the purposes of the investigations that it was possible to know and document what happened between the walls of the Latera RSA.
The point is this: punishing is essential, but with the utmost urgency
We must act more incisively in terms of prevention, so that it never happens more than an elderly suffer humiliations, harassment, overwhelming and torments, imposed by those who would have the task of loving him.
