Bibbiano, a father: “They took two children away from me, they told me I was homophobic”

“They took my two youngest children, who were 3 and a half and 5 and a half years old at the time, on June 18, 2018. That day they summoned me to the social services office where Federica Anghinolfi, former head of services of the Val d’Enza (today among the defendants in the courtroom for the trial on the alleged illicit custody of the ‘Bibbiano system’, ed) told me that from that day I would not be able to see my children except in protected form for an hour every 20 days”. It is the story that a father, having entered the second phase of the ‘Angels and demons’ investigation, tells the Adnkronos. “I was thrilled by that statement – he continues – lacking the disadvantaged socio-economic context, indeed quite the contrary, as there was no violence against minors, denunciation or mistreatment. At that time I was separated, my wife accompanied her with a woman. Anghinolfi, who was in charge of social services and also of the LGBT movement, thought it best to accuse me of homophobia and to take my children away because, he told me, I had to adapt to accept gender relations. My two children thus placed them with my ex. wife and her partner, while the older 13-year-old has always remained with me, evidently less inclined by age to plagiarism and manipulation “. , precisely one year later, there was the divorce hearing and the ball went to the ordinary court where fortunately I had the opportunity to have a cross-examination. The magistrate wanted to believe me, on June 27 there were the arrests and my children have returned home. ” “The children were very traumatized, the 5 and a half year old was attacked by the famous ‘memory machine’ – recalls the father – they gave him the shock to make him say untrue things, when he said he wanted to go home to his father. they replied that I did not want them, that I preferred the older one left with me, that the grandmother did not want him or his brother. The result is that my son has still begun to have it all over again. Today’s sentence may give us justice, but the traumas that these children carry are to be evaluated “.
