He recognizes the vandal son, after a post on Facebook by the mayor, and forces him to apologize, also pledging to pay the damages.
The mother of a twelve-year-old from Fossano, almost 25,000 inhabitants in the province of Cuneo, has not turned the other way.
Last weekend the boy smashed a glass of the elevator in Piazza Vittorio and smeared the planters in the area with a blue spray.
"With video surveillance we are most often able to identify the perpetrators", but "we do not even have the satisfaction of seeing the parents who give them four slaps", the outburst on the social networks of the mayor, Dario Tallone, who this time instead has found a parent ready to place their child in front of their responsibilities rather than justify it.
A lesson in civilization, not just for the baby thug.
"Often - says the mayor - we hear that they are bored, that it is the fault of the system or of Covid".
This time no justification.
Read the post, and understood what the son had done, the mother contacted the mayor of Fossano.
The woman wasted no time and, immediately after, she showed up in the Town Hall with her husband and the little boy.
"He explained to me that he had found his son with a blue spray can: he saw the post and understood - says the mayor of Fossano, favorably surprised -. I explained to the boy that in the public video surveillance images he and the three companions could be seen well. , while they smashed the glass and painted them with spray paint ". Even the three accomplices will therefore soon be contacted by the municipal administration, forced in recent months to put their hands on their wallets due to the numerous acts of vandalism against public assets.
The social comments of the people of Fossano are wasted.
There are those who complain of the absence of controls, those who argue that there is no longer any respect for anything, those who accuse families of having no education, "let alone the boys".
"They are indefensible of the boys who behave in this way if they also have the courage to defend these boys are the cause of everything!
Many are hoping for what really happened, that is, that it is the parents who pay the damages.
And there are also those who congratulate the mother-courage: "Dear lady - it is a comment - I thank you for this gesture of great civilization, I hope it will be promptly emulated".
