Italy’s Child-Protection Tensions Grow as Palmoli Judge Faces Threats and Qualiano Suspect Is Held

Magistrates say the Palmoli removal was an extrema ratio after more than a year of unmet court prescriptions.

Overview

  • The L'Aquila juvenile court on November 20 suspended parental authority over three children from a Palmoli family and placed them in a community in Vasto, with the mother hosted in the same facility under limits.
  • The Justice Ministry is reviewing reports after Giorgia Meloni and Carlo Nordio discussed possible inspectors, while Matteo Salvini condemned the order as a disgrace.
  • Judge Cecilia Angrisano has been targeted with online insults and doxxing; magistrates’ associations defended the decision and warned against political delegitimization.
  • The parents are preparing an appeal and propose house upgrades, including adding an indoor bathroom, as their lawyer seeks both reunification and a return home.
  • In Qualiano, Carabinieri arrested the 29-year-old ex-partner for evasion and attempted murder after a stabbing; the victim was hospitalized and reported out of danger as investigators review surveillance and the non‑antistalking bracelet’s functioning.
