Breaking News: Neglected Children Found in Lauriano, Italy
Lauriano, Italy – A heart-wrenching story has surfaced from the small rural community of Lauriano, east of Turin. Locals are buzzing after Carabinieri discovered two neglected nine and six-year-old boys living in isolation in a farmhouse.
The brothers were found wearing diapers and incapable of reading, writing, or even speaking. Their parents, a couple from the Netherlands previously living in Germany, have been deemed unfit to care for them. The youth court in Italy made the shocking decision to declare the parents unable to keep their children and initiated adoption proceedings.
The Unthinkable Living Conditions
Investigators revealed that the father’s obsession with the coronavirus led to this tragic situation. Fearing infection, the couple had barred the children from educational and healthcare services. The father, identified as “Frederik,” feared a world full of pathogens and conspiracies, leading to their utter isolation.
“Frederik” had taught the boys at home, but their condition told a different story. The two children had never been enrolled in a kindergarten or school, never seen a pediatrician, and had no contact with the outside world.
The Community’s Shock
Astonishingly, the children had been living in seclusion for nearly three years. Locals were shocked, wondering how nobody had noticed the boys’ existence. However, their discovery came during an evacuation order issued for flooding, leading to their rescue.
Parental Neglect and Fears
The father, a Dutch sculptor working with metal, had leaned into his fears. Apart from avoiding vaccinations and masks for the children, he had hoarded them away from society. The mother, reportedly absent and disinterested, left the father as the sole caretaker, leading to no healthcare or educational checks.
The Future for the Boys
The boys are now under the care of psychologists in a protected community. While the father claims to have educated them, the tangible neglect speaks volumes about their upbringing. With no apparent maternal interest, difficulties from both parents, and the father’s inadequacies, the Court deemed their home unsupportive for raising children.
Italians have welcomed the court’s decision, but locals ponder how these children remained hidden for so long. This tragic tale underscores the urgent need for community vigilance and support systems to safeguard children in need.
