The Love Train

Abused at 8 years old and forced to abuse a 5 years old boy

The man was framed by the abused 10yo boy forced to abuse another 5yo child. «A logic and clear tale» says the police chief Francesco Messina who, with great embarassement (he's a dad too), explaining a story he never wanted to tell. It's a story of human insanity which involved two young children and put in jail a 42yo workman from Equador who worked like a gardener in community for difficult children. The child was 8 when everything happened. A smart boy from a family with problems. He has no father and the mother had problems with drugs in the past: now she has a work. The child frequented a religious community and became fond of Shiki Tankamash, 42 years old, workman in a factory in Arese (near Milan) who lives in Rosate. «a sort of father figure» tell vice-quaestor Alessandra Simone. Availing himself of the opportunity, the man acted a three steps plan. «Firstly, he took him to see some fishes - explains the head of police - then he started to touch him. He invited him at home saying there was his nephew and he could play with him. Finally, he abused him, threaten him to say nothing to his mother». He didn't stop here: «You have to make the same things we make with your 5 y.o. little friend». A risk he paid dearly. The younger boy told to his mother who was frightened and contacted the mother of the older one. Together, they went in the community and involed the religious men. The child (10 y.o. nowadays) was interrogated two times with a psychologist and told a story which framed the monster. Particulars confirmed by his 5yo friend. The head of police gave another significant information: «94 per cent of the abuses take place in the own houses, the others on the street.»

The Death of the journalism

After a long time of inactivity (I will come back with new comics soon) today I let to speak a visitor of my blog who write me about a news published here one years ago. It seems the facts reported was not exactly, or however they was mangled. It's not a newelty in the journalism nowadays: it's not my duty to make all clear, but it's fair to listen another point of view.
I also masked the names reported in the newspaper article: I think this will not steal anything to intent to report what happens around us.

You can read the original comment in the italian version of the post. I translate it here:

hi, I don't know where to begin from, they talk about my family. my mother is a prostitute from years, a life. For 4 years she prostitute herself with my sister; one year ago on the newspaper they said she was 15, but she was 17. it was not the first time in Reggio Calabria, and unfortunately the boy was not the first to go in jail, they was in France too where other boys went in jail because of them, I can send you the newspaper from Marsille.... it was the same story, I live in Italy as a nurse, I an not in contact with them, I am not able to stop them, they search for men... and that rascals goes in jail. I called her when I read the newspaper, and she told me she was not in a coffin, she was in an office with coffins all around, and she was there, not my 15yo sister. I am sorry because people read the newspaper and become sad, I am sorry to be born in this family, I am sorry for that boy's family who pay for my mother's whole life mistakes, she was always been like this, my father suffered because of her... if you want I have proof of this, I want to talk with a journalist, I can demonstrate with proof... I am worn-out, believe me! Veruska, thanks to have understrand me. I can answer to questions or show proof in any moment if you are interested in it.

Day Zero

Because I'm busy in these days, here it is another strip from my old blog, which is about the scandal documentary "Sex Crimes & The Vatican" broadcasted during the TV show "Year Zero" by Michele Santoro. I was talking about that in the previous strip, too. It was almost a year ago: 31th May, 2007.

This is the video, in two parts. Just to don't forget:

Fresh News

Another comic I published on my old blog in 21th May 2007.

Gang Bang

Sadly, this is a still topical comic. It was published in May, 23th 2007 and it was related to a gang rape made by a group of young boys against a girl of same age. Unfortunately, history repeats itself.

RIMINI, february 18th, 2008 - A 15 y.o. girl was raped by 10 boys she considered friends, all underage and from a "good family". The young boyfriend of her is one of them. The news come from a local newspaper in Rimini, where the rape happened.
The newspaper talks about an uncontrollable group who forced the girl to sexual acts against her will, no matter her desperate cry. The victim hidden the horror for a long time, bu at last she told everything to her parents.
The rape goes back to the last summer, and after the investigation, seven boys was already identified: many of them boasted of their "exploits".

seXBOX

At last I've found the article and the original video about Intimate Game Controller, a thesis by Jennifer Chowdhury; also some newspapers wrote about it (it seems thay nothing better to do) and I made the comic above. With a warn: if your daughter says she go to play videogames with her little boyfriend, be worry.

Better give than get

Pedophilia in seminary: priest arrested

Police arrested a priest in Brescia, Italy. He's Marco Baresi, assistant director of seminary in Brescia accused of pedophilia. Abuses on 14y.o. seminarist and possession of pedo-pornographic material. Bishop Monari and his assitant Beschi, was grieved "He's well known and esteemed. The tragedy of the victim of abuses can't be ignored, especially if they involve priests, but it's important to consider the delicacy of the situation of who is accused of this facts and is innocent.".

I agree with Bishop Monari and, even if I report the news, I'd like to remember to wait investigation's results. This news remember me the case of Don Marco Dessi, the missionary sentenced in 24th May for the abuses against the orphans he should assist in Nicaragua. Here it is the comic strip in which I was bitterly ironic about his conviction.

Death becomes her

Six months ago I published this comic strip; I repropose it now, with the news which inspired it.

There is everything in this news: pedophilia, prostitution and also necrophilia. If you think this last one is a niche (or loculos) phenomenon, here it is a Google Trends graphics, which compare how much they talk on web about two or more terms; as you can see the difference is not so high. The graphics for Italy has a higher difference: we have to understand if it's because we don't speak too much about necrophilia or we speak to much about pedophilia.

Reggio Calabria, May, 23th 2007 - Two Romanian immigrant was arrested by police because they forced a woman and her 15 y.o. daughter to be prostitute. They are two 33 e 35 y.o. who live in town. The arrest was convalidated by the substitute attorney Francesco Mollace. The 40 y.o. womand and her 15 y.o. daughter was slaved and forced to be prostitute. M. A., 33 y.o., and M. S., 35 y.o., who lived in a hotel in Reggio Calabria, are now in jail. The first is also accused to have forced the 15 y.o. girl and hitted her. The story is also more perverse than the usual. The young girl was forced to have sex in three different coffins with two undertakers and other middle-aged men. The girl, hitted many times when she tried to rebel, was forced to have sex with men of different classes: doctors, lawyers, students, who paid even 300 euros to have sex with her. The woman and the girl will probably have a work now.
