Federico Barak was killed at the age of eight by his father in the rooms of the Social Services of San Donato Milanese during a protected meeting. It was February 25, 2009 and, as has been repeated several times in all the proceedings that have taken place in recent years against the service that had him in custody,<\/strong> no one could have foreseen such a tragedy.<\/p>\n Yet it happened and Federico was killed when he was under the protection of a public structure, therefore of the Italian State, after a provision by the juvenile court had decided, for the good of the child, not only that Federico should meet the father, for a balanced parental relationship, but that since the two parents are inadequate \u2013 also the mother who had raised him up to that moment \u2013 was placed under the guardianship of the services of San Donato, with maternal home placement. Power which, although left to the parents, was however exercised by the services “for the protection of the development of the minor and his need for growth in an attempt (…) to guarantee a recovery and a peaceful development of the relationship between parent and child”.<\/strong><\/p>\n BUT FEDERICO WAS KILLED WITH A GUN AND 24 KNIVES BY THAT FATHER WHOSE STATE WANTED TO ENSURE A CONSTANT PRESENCE IN THE CHILD’S LIFE AND FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A BALANCED LIFE<\/p><\/blockquote>\n but how could all this happen and above all how did it happen in an area guaranteed as a public service? The father, who committed suicide immediately afterwards, had plenty of time to kill his son and himself without anyone being able to intervene to steal an 8-year-old boy who was fighting against a 52-year-old man<\/strong>: but where was the service staff who did he take care of ensuring the growth of little Federico and that he had the authority decided by the Court over him, and that therefore he also had to provide for his physical protection, as well as psychological?<\/p>\n According to the reconstruction of the trial, both the psychologist and the social worker who had Federico in charge were absent at the time of the fact, while the educator, who directly monitored the meetings between father and son, was going to knock on the assistant’s door under the request of Federico’s father, thus leaving the latter alone for a period of time which in any case, given the reconstruction of the facts, could not have been a moment. As the autopsy reconstructed, the child would have had time to escape and try to escape death by defending himself with his arms and hands from his father’s blows; and when a doctor and a psychologist rushed hearing the screams<\/strong>, the scene they reported was that of a criminal act that had already largely taken place, with<\/p>\n THE CHILD UNDER THE BODY OF THE MAN WHO INFERED WITH THE LAST SLICTS ON THE LITTLE BODY BELOW HIM, TO THEN TAKE HIS LIFE BY CUTTING HIS VEINS AND HITTING HIMSELF<\/p><\/blockquote>\n An attack already carried out against which not even the doctor’s attempt to push the man away with a chair and then with the fire extinguisher was useless. So where were the educator, the psychologist and the social worker who had the child in custody?<\/strong> But above all this State that had taken charge of Federico, judging both parents as inadequate, could he have imagined that Mr. Barak had premeditated the murder of his son by carrying a gun and a 20-centimetre knife with him?<\/strong><\/p>\nFederico was killed when he was under the protection\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n
