They would already have a face and a name.

A devastating act condemned by education consultant Simona Voyce: “We strongly condemn similar behaviors and at the same time ask ourselves questions about their perpetrators and the motives that may have led them to disrespect the assets of the community in which they may feel sufficiently integral. From this standpoint, we are trying to do our part to build meeting opportunities and socialization places capable of enhancing the role of young people as an active part of society, to avoid such hostile situations as much as possible.
