MILANO. She was sentenced to one year, with conditional suspension, the 43-year-old Italian teacher who answers for manslaughter in the trial in abbreviated on the death of a almost 6-year-old boy, who fell into the stairwell of the Pirelli school in Milan in October 2019.
This was decided this morning, May 10, by the gup Elisabetta Meyer, accepting the request of the prosecutor Maria Letizia Mocciaro. Today the other teacher who had chosen the ordinary rite was also sent to trial (the trial will begin on 11 July before the eleventh penalty) and accepted the plea bargain for 2 years of imprisonment of the co-accused janitor.
The facts date back to October 18, 2019. It was 9.30 in the morning when the little one he was allowed by the teachers to leave his class alone to go to the bathroom. Probably “intrigued by the shouting” of the children of another class who were going to the gym, we read in the notice of conclusion of the investigation, he climbed into a swivel chair with wheels and leaned over the balustrade, lost his balance and fell into the void from a height of about 13 and a half meters.
The school worker, which in recent months has been rejected by another gup a plea bargain for 1 year and 10 months, is accused of “not having supervised the safety and security of the pupil“.
It would also have used cell phone “for personal purposes during the time he was supposed to have supervised the floor”. In addition, the woman would have moved away from her surveillance post, a cage from which she could see the child, and would also have left the swivel chair used by the child unattended and near the stairs.
The two teachers are accused of having “omitted due vigilance over the child” having allowed him to “go to the toilets outside the scheduled time” and thus violating the regulations of the Institute and the directive of the school concerning the supervision of pupils.
