Wonderful to see the Italian translation of our book on Cultural Consultation has been published. Deepest appreciation to Salvatore Inglese and Miriam Gualtieri for their exceptional work on this and all of our colleagues and friends at the Centro Studi Sagara for their support.

So many are scandalized by the 2 teens in the video that’s circulating. They should not be expelled...They must be held accountable so they can take responsibil...ity and face their peers.

I think social workers should intervene to understand what motivated this. The school board should look into its policies and actively work with parents of potential victims of these little beasts.
