In a shocking incident at the "Salvati" middle school in Castellammare di Stabia, a support teacher was violently attacked by about thirty parents.
The assault, which occurred on a Thursday morning, left the teacher with a head injury and her father with a broken wrist as he tried to defend her.
The attack was reportedly fueled by unverified rumors circulating on social media about the teacher's conduct with students.
The local police intervened to rescue the teacher and her parents, and have since seized electronic devices from those involved to aid their investigation.
The school's principal, Donatella Ambrosio, emphasized that no action against the teacher can be taken without a thorough investigation.
The incident has sparked widespread concern, with the mayor calling for a return to calm and trust within the school community.
