A scandalous new case of violence reminds us that Romanian youth are among the European leaders in bullying, and the number of cases could increase with the start of school.
A 13-year-old girl from Târgu Jiu was humiliated and beaten by four other teenagers, between 12 and 14 years old. Police detained a 14-year-old woman for 24 hours. Be careful, the following are details that can affect you emotionally.
The images with the four minors, who humiliated his girlfriend and beat her mercilessly, have been widely seen on the Internet. Her victim was humiliated for several minutes and the girl was also a boy. She recorded almost the entire incident and only at the end does she say that what happened is not right.
The victim did not say anything at home.
At home, the young woman did not say anything until the images appeared. The parents of the victim learned from the police that they reported this case.
The father of the beaten minor: They threatened that if she said something he would beat her to death.
Reporter: Would you hit her again?
The father of the beaten minor: Yes Yes.
Reporter: You spoke to her now, did she tell you?
The father of the beaten minor: Yes, we talk a lot, but he really doesn’t want to talk, he talked more with the psychologist.

The father of the beaten minor: Yes Yes.
One of the assailants, aged 14, was detained for 24 hours and placed in the Preventive Detention and Arrest Center of the County Police Inspectorate, police said. She is suspected of beatings and other acts of violence. According to the law, because she is 14 years old, she will be responsible for her deed. The experts examined her and determined that she had discernment.
The parents of the assailants were fined 500 lei each. All adolescents implicated in the scandal receive psychological counseling.
Minodora Sucea, DGASPC Gorj spokesperson: This morning, at the level of our institution, a multidisciplinary team made up of a psychologist, legal advisor and social worker was formed, who began an investigation to evaluate the socio-professional family situation in the home of all the minors involved in this incident. Depending on the on-site assessments, the required legal measures will be established.
At school, teacher intervention plays a key role, psychologists say.
Lidia Bârsanu, DGASPC Gorj psychologist: Here both teachers and parents must intervene, be much more careful and practically what happened to the 5 minors should be an alarm signal for all parents and not only, and for minors and teachers and all of us, do something constructive to avoid such events in the future. “
Romanian adolescents, among the European leaders in bullying
The other three young women who attacked her face are also under investigation for beatings and other acts of violence. Such situations are common among Romanian teenagers.
Bianca Brânduşa, psychologist: These children have been isolated for a long time. These children may have been subjected to such behaviors at home. When they come into contact with other children, they may have similar behavior. “
To overcome these humiliations, young people often need a psychologist. A mother tells us what happened to her face after she moved to another school.
Mother of a girl: “The first time the teammates started, not directly. They started all kinds of gossip, as young people tell them. He started to be listless, he started to be less cheerful. Then, little by little, the results began to show. “We got through it, not easily, even with help, but we got through it.”
Three years ago, the World Health Organization placed Romania in third place on the list of countries with the most cases of bullying. And the latest Save the Child study shows that 50% of children between the ages of 12 and 17 have been bullied online. With the start of school, the number of cases could increase.
