The brutal crime in the southeastern town of Córdoba It happened in broad daylight in a residential neighborhood, behind a school, in an old structure between two inhabited houses and only four blocks from the central square.. No one saw or heard.
Later, no one found Joaquín missing for three days, despite the search throughout the town. Everyone knew about the abandoned house, equidistant from two schools, where students who skip classes have attended for several years. But no one warned that the 14-year-old teenager could be there.
After 72 hours, a neighbor suggested to Joaquín’s cousins that they look in that old uninhabited house and there they found, almost by chance, the bloodiest horror. Later it would be known that his 13-year-old best friend was the main accused of killing him, always according to the investigation that ordered him to be delayed and transferred to a socio-educational institute for minors.
Crime in Laboulaye: the judge received the parents of Joaquín Sperani
This entire scene becomes unintelligible to the Laboulayense community which, with this unprecedented outcome, suffers the undermining of trust in the other, of closeness, of relationships. It is a social hinge that will open questions in the town.
But this case, with several unknown blind spots that Justice will clarify, invites us to reflect on that abandoned house that nobody observed or wanted to see, which could represent what we neglect as a society of child and adolescent problems.
The professional look
These days, the specifics of the murder will be put into public consideration, the link that Joaquín had with his best friend and alleged perpetrator, the questioning of the victim’s family to the school they attended due to an unheeded warning of bullying, testimonies from neighbors and various irrelevant details.
But what should interest us to find answers that allow us to avoid other similar tragic cases are the signs expressed by potential victims and perpetrators with certain behaviors.
consulted by CORDOBA PROFILE, Ana María Alle, a child and adolescent psychiatrist from Córdoba (MP 19648), acknowledges that these signs often “are non-specific and may be due to multiple causes”. But she agrees with Liliana González, a well-known professor and graduate in psychopedagogy, a specialist in children’s and adolescents’ clinics, in that “there are always indicators” that need to be warned.
Both mental health professionals agree that children and adolescents are going through a time in which they “grow up in a hurry” by the adults in their family groups and “are not respected in their stages of formation,” for which reason “they are being adultized” early.
“They try to introduce stimulations or there are overstimulations from different areas that, due to their evolutionary development, boys and girls are not in a position to elaborate or understand”, explained Alle.
On this, González pointed to the Internet, social networks, video games and the impact of technology: “Almost all games require strategies to kill and they see it as something close. They learn to solve problems by killing”.
In this regard, the psychiatrist added: “Violent characters are naturalized in movies, cartoons, virtual reality and video games that facilitate the confusion between reality and fantasy. The one who kills the most wins.
system problems
Children and adolescents go through problems related to “sexuality and aggressiveness”, explains Alle, that they began to manifest two decades ago and that they became accentuated and generalized in these years. Added to this are the inconveniences caused by the inefficiency of the education and health systems.
“There is a not wanting to assume, not knowing or not being able to assume a series of proposals. Everyone is suffering from it, even adults. Family groups are not being able to respond, neither from a social perspective, from areas such as education and health”, points out the expert in Child and Youth Violence and Sexual Abuse.
González, in this regard, points out: “There are teachers who go to schools to give content, and there are others who are going to change the lives of boys and girls. Therefore, there are teachers who sweep problems under the rug so as not to have problems with parents, to avoid conflict”.
Alle agrees that “there are ways of approaching that are not being adequate from the educational point of view” and that, in this area, “there is no response of sanctions that order what should be done and what should not be done.” Although he also considers that teachers and health personnel “are overloaded” by the “vortex of having to respond to everything.”
