"Come on, I beat up my mom, she might be dead".

A quiet tragedy unfolded in August in an apartment in Centocelle, a neighborhood on the outskirts of Rome. A 16-year-old boy named Federico called emergency services and told them he had beaten his mother, possibly killing her. When police arrived, they found him covered in blood at the entrance of the building. His mother, identified by the newspaper as Silvia (50 years old), was attacked by her son with bare hands and fell to the ground. It remains unclear whether she hit her head or was struck with an object, a detail to be determined by an autopsy. She was rushed to the Tor Vergata hospital but died within hours. The teenager is now being held in the psychiatry ward of the Umberto I clinic and will be questioned by prosecutors for minors in the presence of psychologists. Neighbors expressed shock, noting that there were no signs of conflict or distress prior to the incident. They described the family as 'almost invisible,' emphasizing that they had never experienced any issues in the building.
