In relation to the very painful history of the fetus buried with the mother’s name, the Guarantor for the protection of personal data has decided to open an investigation to clarify what happened and the compliance of the behaviors adopted by the public subjects involved, with the policy of privacy. “The case on which the guarantor is activated is the one we have been talking about for days. It started from the Facebook post of a Roman citizen, Marta: a fetus, hers, born dead after a therapeutic abortion and buried, without she knew it in the so-called “garden of angels” with her name, that of her mother (we said here).
But in reality the case of Marta is that of many other women, because the cross with her first and last name was in a field full of other crosses with female names and surnames and the photos ended up online revealing a practice that has been done since years ago. unflappable “an abuse in open violation of all privacy laws” explained attorney Cathy La Torre who yesterday with her law firm Wildside-Human First opened an email address ([email protected]) to offer free information and sponsorship legal for whoever wants it. After Marta, in fact, other women visited the Roman cemetery of Porta Nuova and made similar and shocking discoveries.
Sensitive data “breached”, who is to blame?
“According to the regulations of the Mortuary Police, stillbirths (they are fetuses after week 28, before being” products of conception “or” products of abortion “) can be buried with an alphanumeric code that only parents know unless the parents themselves did not want to register the fetus in the registry. It is fair that those who wish to obtain the burial of the fetus, but it is violence to impose a burial on those who do not want it. And it is shocking to know that the voluntary associations that collaborate with hospitals and they carry out these burials they have access to the parents’ data. And that the Ama, Cimiteri Capitolini allow the writing of names “explains La Torre.
Mistress Cimiteri Capitolini, in a press release declares himself totally oblivious and reaffirms the role of “simple executor”. “Ama is limited to carrying out the burial with the express consent already given by the requesting health center.” In any case, it happened: the burials took place, without the women knowing. And with the aggravation of their names written above. Not only a violation of privacy, but also violence against women, Italian MP Viva Giuseppina Occhionero wrote on Facebook.
Dozens of emails with stories of grief
“Since yesterday, our office has been inundated with emails from women asking for information, telling stories of miscarriages filled with guilt and pain, and wondering if, somewhere, someone has ‘buried’ them with their name. Some of them have already found “their” grave in one of the cemeteries in Rome, but they have also written from Milan, from Marche … it is a river that never stops. We will respond to all of them. The incredible thing is that each one feels that she has to “justify herself”: “I had an abortion because she was violent” … “I had an abortion because we could not afford a third child”. “I had an abortion and everyone in town knew about it.” We will respond to all of them, but to each of them we say “you must not justify yourself”, “we do not judge you” ».
