The case of violence against a 17-year-old girl in Fier has sparked strong public reaction, while this time the claims of the family of one of the minors involved are also at the center of attention. According to the parents of the 15-year-old girl, their daughter has mental health problems and the family had previously sought intervention and support, but did not receive the necessary response from the institutions.
Parents say they learned about the incident from the media
According to the source material, the parents of one of the 15-year-old girls involved in the incident say they initially learned of the case through the media and were later taken to the police to give their statements.
This version also raises questions about how family members were informed in such a serious case, while so far there is no other public information clarifying the institutional chain of response.
Mother offers public apology to the assaulted girl
The mother of the 15-year-old has expressed a public apology to the 17-year-old girl and her family, saying she is deeply affected by what happened.
According to her, the family is not trying to justify the minor’s actions, but to ask that, in addition to legal responsibility, her health condition also be taken into consideration.
Family’s claim: We asked for help, but received no support
The parents claim that their daughter was diagnosed about three months ago with mental health problems and that they had long sought help from institutions for her treatment.
According to them, the 15-year-old had also shown episodes of aggression earlier, but requests for support did not receive the proper response. If these claims are confirmed, the case once again raises serious doubts about how protection and treatment mechanisms for minors in difficulty are functioning.
Economic hardship and a call for state intervention
The family says it does not have the financial means to afford specialized treatment and is calling on state institutions to intervene for the girl’s treatment.
According to the parents, their request is not related to avoiding legal consequences, but to the need for the minor’s health condition not to be left in neglect, as they claim has happened so far.
The incident in Fier remains a serious case of violence between minors, but the testimony of the family of one of the girls also opens another debate: how effectively institutions actually function when families report mental health problems and aggressive behavior in children.
Until a fuller official response from the responsible structures, the claims raised by the parents remain an element that requires verification, but not neglect.
