The youth who assaulted Rómulo Pepper, of 15 years, on the afternoon of the 6th of November, in the square of Almada have already been identified and heard by the authorities. The process follows the Public Prosecutor’s office will now determine a charge for after they are brought to trial.
One of the attackers, who already has 16 years old, is considered to be attributable to criminal, and so the investigation will continue in an ordinary court. Already the other three, because they have less than 16 years, will be the target of an investigation supervisory education in the Court of Family and Minors and therefore subject to a measure of guardianship education, which aims at the re-education of the accused rather than his conviction, what would happen if they were adults.
To the casual Observer, Pedro Proença, a lawyer on the issues of juvenile justice, said that the measures brought to the perpetrators, the smaller will be the reflection of the crime for which will be pronounced. "The judge may decide that the measure for re-education will have to go through internment in an educational centre or you may be a measure that is more lightweight, as the follow-up education or a warning," he said.
The lawyer also pointed out that it is the responsibility of the Public Prosecutor, after the investigative procedures, to propose to the judge the extent of the punishment, but the decision of the future of the young people will be in the hands of the magistrate of the juvenile court and also judges social.
These judges in the society are ordinary citizens, who are called to the hearings, according to the Law of Guardianship Education, in cases where you are concerned the internment of the target. Each juvenile court has, generally, available 15 judges social that are appointed for two years and ordered to the judgment of the most severe cases.
Law Guardianship Education
The Law of Guardianship Education is the legal provision that regulates the practice of a fact qualified as a crime, perpetrated by a minor between 12 and 16anos. These measures are aimed at education of the minor so that it is inserted in the society in a responsible manner.
Pedro Proença believe that justice will be swift in this particular case, even because it’s smaller and the goal in these process goes more by the posture of the re-education than by punitive. "It is important that the young people are aware of the criminal act, and to revise their behavior", he pointed out.
The young perpetrators have already told their version of the facts to the PSP, however, has the evident proof the video circulated on the Internet. Minors will have to wait now for the judicial decision and, before, the claims – each one has the right to be represented by a lawyer, will be subject to a penalty.
under the Law of Guardianship Education, may be the object only of an admonition, which consists of a warning solemn made by the judge to the lowest, reparation to the offended party — that is to say, an apology to the offended party — the accomplishment of tasks in favour of the community and the imposition of rules of conduct, not allowing, for example, that minors attend any of the location or frequency of formation programs. However, and due to the severity of the situation, these minors may be sanctioned with measures more incisive, as will be the case for internment in an educational center.
This is the most critical and may be performed in the open, semi-open or closed, all depending on the crime committed. In all situations, the smaller is the target of a psychological evaluation and follow-up.
The students of escola profissional de Almada, where Romulus is currently attending a technical course in Computing, you already know there is a lot of aggression. In fact even to speak of 'revenge' among the students who were scandalized by what happened to a colleague. "It was unfair, because they knew that he was alone. We were in the past and still think join us to go there to take satisfactions, but for what? More violence?". These are the words of John, who refused to give their real name, the colleague of Romulus told him that the student arrived at the school "all foot" and that still feels some fears. "A stupidity, they do this to a person’s life. He now even has the shame of being out on the street," he continued.
The assault to a student of computer science have been received with dismay, not only by the colleagues, but mainly by the teachers. "This is a good kid, I never saw him in any trouble. And it is quiet, does not justify such violence," reported a teacher.
Another colleague, who heard from the mouth of Romulus the course of events, also has been amazed with the aggressiveness. "What he told us was that everything happened very fast and it was because of his girlfriend. But he is already well and exceeded," added the student from the escola profissional de Almada.
At the Escola Profissional de Almada, which is attended by the victim, there’s a lot to respond to the assaults of Rómulo
that was possible to ascertain, one of the smaller perpetrators attended the same high school, Romulus, but the remaining would be from the Technical School Emídio Navarro. The Observer was also on the scene and spoke with some students who, in turn, were not surprised with the assaults.
"This is the dish of the day, is always that there is confusion and stroke," said Maria, a young girl of 14 years, which revealed some fear: "I Prefer not to say anything, do not go after come with me," he said.
another student from the same school noted that the episode took place in a small square next to that school, a place where some young people tend to join. "There are groups that go there to talk and smoke, and sometimes there is confusion, but so violent I can’t remember," he said, noting that many times the confusion is "because of girls". "There is always someone who does not like the boyfriend of someone, and then face", he pointed out.
the Source of the PSP revealed to the Observer that the situations of youth violence are common in the area, however without much gravity, by that is not the outcome any inquiry referring to the same type of crime. However, among the students prevails in some fear: "of Course, there are assaults, and they are not few. And assaults, and students who are waiting for things silly.
