The Palermo Juvenile Prosecutor's Office has opened an investigation after an 11-year-old boy said he was sexually abused by a group of schoolmates outside his school, following the family report that the child told his mother and showed marks consistent with abuse.Medical examinations at the Termini Imerese hospital found injuries compatible with the account, the boy was treated at the emergency department and will be interviewed in a protected setting by Claudia Caramanna with a psychologist under codice rosso procedures as investigators work to identify suspects and determine whether bullying escalated into sexual violence or there are other victims.
