A show at the Brancaccio, in the presence of 900 boys from the Roman schools, who saw on stage characters from the entertainment world and policemen. The subject addressed was the "cyberbullsimo". As confirmed by a Roman student "online bullying is widespread on social networks and days like these in the company of the postal police, help us to face and solve the problems that may involve us".
The journalist Luca Pagliari presented his theatrical format "Like, stories of life online", inspired by the story of Andrea Spezzacatena, ridiculed on the web as the boy "with pink pants", a boy of only 15 years committed suicide in 2012. In his format, Luca Pagliari tackles cyberbullying. Present in the room is Andrea's mother who, invited by the journalist to give her testimony, with the emotion in her eyes, went on stage sensitizing the young people born in the web age on how much they can hurt words of derision in the silence of those who read them. On the dramatic cyberbullying theme there have been speeches by Maurizio Battista, Roberto Ciufoli, Tiziana Foschi.
Maurizio Battista, between one joke and another, reiterated the importance of the presence of the police post on the web to protect young people, of how important it is to fight cyber-bullying, perhaps, as he suggested after joking in an interview, with of cyber-slaps. "A life as a mother-in-law", so the comedian jokingly calls him and proudly calls himself the father of a policeman.
