According to the evidence presented by prosecutors, Luca was not allowed to play with other children, go to church, participate in sports or leave the house before or after school. The boy's teachers said he was sent to school with his snacks already cut into bite-size portions for him. Investigators say the teachers noticed that he was both physically and psychologically stunted from such around-the-clock doting. "He didn't know how to run. He had the motor skills of a 3-year-old child," Andrew Marzola, the lawyer representing the boy, told the Milan newspaper Corriere della Sera.

Interesting.
Actually I think Mommie Dearest is a controlling, cult like psycho who needs to have her kid given to a healthy family.
These kind of parents exist in America too.
This is a whole lot more than “doting”. The woman has emotional issues.
“According to a survey published last year in Psychology Today, a full 37% of men from the ages of 30 to 34 still live with their mothers in Italy”
It wasn’t just the mother. It was the grandparents, too
What nutcases.
Very interesting article. I wonder though if there isn’t more to the story. Is the boy delayed because of a physical problem he has? Alot of parents are more protective of children with disabilities. Reserving judgement.
Do they “live with their mothers” in their parents’ house, having never left home, or do they have their own homes and care for their elderly parents?
You would be surprised to find out how many boys show up at my wife’s preschool expecting a woman to pull down their pants and hold their dick for them while they pee.
“Do they “live with their mothers” in their parents’ house, having never left home, or do they have their own homes and care for their elderly parents?”
“still live with their mothers”
I think the word “still” is the important one there.
The case has been through the court and found guilty but there is an appeal still pending.
Wow I have no words!
They don’t leave home. Many don’t have jobs, or at least “adult” jobs. They stay at home because it is not manly to cook or clean or do laundry and so until they find a wife, that is mamma’s job.
That culture has infected the U.S. in many places as well.
I just can’t grasp that, when I was 18, I wanted out!
I’d take two-thirds of that action!
Lots of them still live with their mothers in their mothers’ homes, with or without a father. Never grew up and established their own households. Can’t even conceive of having children of their own, because they can’t imagine who would take care of them (there being a severe shortage of women interested in marrying this sort of guy).
I realized that.
A friend came very close to losing her 4 children. Her daughter was carrying the baby brother and accidentally hit his head on the corner of a cabinet. The boy (age 2) cried a little but seemed fine. Over the next few weeks he reverted back to baby habits and lost his speech. She took him to the doctor and he had a severely fractured skull. The doctor called CPS because the injury was old. It looked seriously bad for my friend and her husband.
My friend found another doctor who diagnosed her son with a slight case of congenital analgia (he wasn’t very sensitive to pain). His head was severely injured but he didn’t know it and so neither did his parents.
Sometimes things that look bad on the outside looking in, may not be what you think they are. I was just wondering if anyone investigated his physical conditon to see if there was an underlying cause. She may be guilty or she may just look guilty.

Because they are too poor to live on their own?
