A 12-year-old girl was stabbed by a
14-year-old fellow female pupil at a school in Enna on Thursday,
local sources said.
The girl was rushed to the local ER where she was treated for
kitchen-knife wounds to her hands, arms, face and an ear.
The girl was attacked by the older girl, who has relational and
pyschological problems, as she came out of a bathroom.
After a brief scuffle, she managed to get into a nearby corridor
and call for help.
The victim's mother, visibly shocked, said "it might have
happened to any child, but the serious thing is that the girl
brought a kitchen knife with her with the intention of hurting
someone.
"If my daughter had not managed to wriggle away, I hate to think
what the consequences might have been".
The school head has informed local prosecutors and the minors'
court of what happened.
The alleged aggressor has been banned from the school for the
time being.
