Immediate mobilization by the social services and the Prosecutor's Office of Volos with the report of a minor from Syria, primary school student, about incidents of domestic violence at home.
The minor recently contacted the administration of her school and asked to speak to a social worker. She appeared visibly upset and very scared.
The little girl, who is about 10-12 years old, reported that her father at home was physically and verbally abusive to her mother and other children in the family.
She stressed that the violence is systematic and at the same time her father threatens them that he will leave the house.
"He keeps telling us that he will go to Germany with her big sister and me and my mother will be sent back to Syria," the frightened soul said, among other things.
The schoolgirl was visibly in a bad psychological state. After the incident, the social services of the Municipality of Volos and the Volos Public Prosecutor's Office were immediately notified.
The Volos Public Prosecutor's Office ordered a preliminary examination to be carried out immediately. The aim of the prosecution investigation is to establish whether there are indeed acts of domestic violence, such as bodily harm and threats, and if so, to bring the perpetrator to justice.
In this context, statements will be taken to establish what is happening.
According to taxydromos.gr, this is the third complaint for domestic violence, made by a minor in Magnesia in the last year.
In Skiathos, a young man turned against his father, reporting abuse to the police station of the island. Also, a teenager from a wider area of Volos had reported similar incidents at home by contacting "Smile of the Child".
But never before has a complaint been made by such a young person, a primary school pupil, as in this case.
Information about domestic violence at school with the aim of prevention seems to be having an effect. Minors are now breaking their silence and talking about the incidents that concern them, which is particularly encouraging.
