In August, the Carabinieri in Gela intervened in several cases of family violence towards parents. A 66-year-old woman was beaten by her 44-year-old son and forced to stay home due to jealousy. A 24-year-old man abused his parents, violently coercing them to hand over money. A 40-year-old drug addict violated a restraining order and went to his family’s house, threatening and assaulting them while demanding money. Numerous complaints were filed, leading to the authorities taking action. As a result, seven individuals from Gela, Niscemi, and Butera were issued various protective orders, such as eviction from the family home and prohibition from approaching the victim’s usual places.
