A 10-year-old boy called the corresponding Italian emergency service to report that his mother had been abused by her partner and to immediately call an ambulance.
The 10-year-old boy’s change moved his reflections and the initiative he took to help his mother.
The incident took place in Afragola, a few kilometers from Naples.
He took matters into his own hands.
But as the minutes passed and the situation became more and more critical, the little one decided to go down the street in search of help. He managed to find and stop a patrol car and immediately lead the officers to his home.
The whole story was revealed by the councillor Antonio Iacetta, who congratulated the Italian police and praised the behaviour of “this small but great hero”. The police escorted the mother of this brave child to the hospital while, as the Italian media highlighted, “all necessary measures were taken to ensure that her violent partner could not cause her any further harm”.
“Now we hope that the social services of our municipality will stand by this family in the future, so that they do not suffer any more abuse,” wrote the councilor of Lower Italy on social media.
