They humiliated, offended and mocked their victims on social media, then lured them with threats or deceptions in secluded places in Siena and here they proceeded to physical and verbal attacks filmed on the phone by one or more members of the group.

The images were shared in the WhatsApp chat called 'baby gang' as well as in other social networks.

Thus 10 very young residents in the city of the Palio, between 14 and 15 years of age, are now being investigated for their criminal conduct and subjected to personal and house searches by the police delegated by the prosecutor at the Juvenile Court of Florence.

The attacks, at least a dozen, were carried out between 27 June 2020 and 19 February 2022 and show how the modus operandi was always the same.

The young victims were confronted by the leader of the female baby gang, supported and assisted by the others, who filmed them while they suffered their harassment, and then disseminated the images or videos on social media in order to increase the reputation of the group.

The places chosen were almost all in the center of Siena as well as an abandoned industrial area of ​​Taverne d'Arbia, a few kilometers from the capital.

The girls worked in via della Vecchia, in an area under the Medici Fortress which they called the 'Ring', even in the alleys of the center, in the bus underpass in Piazza Gramsci and at the Metropolitan Gallery in Piazza Matteotti.

The investigations were conducted by the investigators of the Mobile Squad of the Siena Police Headquarters and began at the end of December 2021, following the complaint, presented by one of the victims, for the attacks suffered in April and October 2021. Subsequent investigations , carried out by documenting what was reported by victims and witnesses, and by monitoring the social web networks, made it possible to obtain elements for the identification of members of the criminal group, which is all female.

The gang has, however, been 'enriched' with new elements over time, as emerged from some videos analyzed by the policemen.

Investigators also found that some persecutors became victims themselves when they decided to distance themselves from illegal conduct.
