Galloppo The case, homicidal and suicidal
canter away from his family lived for eight months. Initially there was an aborted attempt at reconciliation with his wife. The consultant groups, which had turned Gallop, Assunta Russo stated that he wanted to stop treatment, saying: "This time I throw it out of the house and put it on the street" (Il Secolo XIX ). "He waited to pay the fine furniture, the extraordinary expenses of the building, the ten-year mortgage to act and say:" Prove that it is your house, you have to leave, do not want you at home '"(Il Secolo XIX
) . Thus, according to Gallop, to materialize the separation request. He wrote in a letter to his lawyer a few days before his death,Gallop reiterated that his life was ruined. These statements of a friend of the inspector: "He could see children three times a week, but only for a few hours. In addition he was homeless and was forced to sleep in the police station (...) would say: "I wake up and find myself in front of a wall of the barracks. Plus I do not have my children '"(Il Secolo XIX ). The inspector was in his second separation, "From the economic point of view was on the pavement: the maintenance paid to his first wife, and the second a monthly allowance of 420 € ( Il Secolo XIX
).The conflict in the separation takes place often through destructive attitudes and feelings of deep denial. In this sense, the hypothesis that Gallop's wife pursued the goal of "building on the street," the husband is representative of what for many fathers and mothers separated or divorced is a real condition. Between Xavier and Assumption, as we shall see, the conflict which ended in violence was on the agenda. But this does not alter the fact that, as confirmed by the statistics, a husband to start a process of separation or divorce it means to struggle with the unique orientation of custody to the wife-mother. As a result, pay child support (for children but often for the former spouse) lose the right to live in the former matrimonial home, bear the cost of movements and all that can be provided in the midweek and weekend visits in turn, can cause - especially when we talk about people with low and middle income - an obvious depletion of their lives that in some cases can get to the mere subsistence.
Inolte to canter is envisaged a situation difficult to deal with emotional and relational. Some police have said that it was an extermination family announced: the first week of multiple murder, his wife had told the estranged husband of being willing to move with the children in Puglia .
"" Inspector Gallop - says one of his colleagues - was concerned that the upcoming transfer of his wife and children would no longer be able to see David and Sarah, who was very fond of. Perhaps this news was the straw for Xavier that broke the camel's back "(Il Secolo XIX) And yet the children:" My father loved Sara and David and they were happy with him "- says Aurora, his daughter from his first marriage -" Just today (July 10, ed) had to leave to go on holiday with children Afragola. She (the ex-wife,
ed) is obsessed and has managed, somehow, to convene to my father in court July 14 for separation. So he had to give up vacations with children and he was left very badly. " (Il Secolo XIX ). In general, we can say that violations and interference in the exercise of rights, but also the simple lack of interest by the custodial parent to educate their children in a healthy relationship and consistent with the 'other parent, are issues that frequency, even if in different ways, can be traced in separations difficult and that fuel conflicts that already exist.
Even the matrimonial lawyer Gallop has something to say about it: "Proof that the wife did not want to entrust their children, even only for the holidays, is the decree of citation to the woman had made in recent days, with asking for a psychiatric examination on children, for whom Gallop had been summoned to court on July 14, and should have started with them on vacation last July 10, "and adds:" In my opinion, wife, suggested the timing of these quotes, he wanted to prevent her husband left for the holidays with their children. And this for a canter maybe it was crucial for deciding to end it (the Republic ). : It kills and kills himself just before the holiday you want.
Galloppo Xavier was violent? Absolutely not, say colleagues and acquaintances, as well as the Quaestor of Genoa. The work was not a hothead, but it was measured, calm, capable of a steely self-control, to mediate conflicts also difficult. The leader of the protest at the closure of the steelworks of Corniglia, Leila Maiocco, canter with which it was compared in a context not easy, as the representative of the Police, says: "He was always conciliatory and sensitive, almost delicate (
Il Secolo XIX, July 10, 2003).yet: on the complaint of his wife, against the inspector had been open eight months before a case where it was expected as the accusation of injury and ill-treatment. The godmother of her daughter Sara confirms: "Tina has been in hospital several times. The last time (he) had a broken finger. " And her friends and colleagues Assunta Russo, "you put the long sleeves, even in summer. Was to cover the bruises. " And again: "He told me that he was afraid of her husband, especially after separation. She feared for herself and her children, and especially feared that the man was taken away from them to him "(Il Secolo XIX ). And yet this father to their children at war with his wife was not violent. This excludes the godmother of Sara, in response to a question from the reporter. While the testimony of the inspector include the friend in a brightly colored portrait of a pair fell into the vortex of mutual resentment and malice, of violence on Tina Xavier: 'When she argued (his wife,
ed) raised his hands . She was very aggressive. A few months ago, in broad daylight, attacked and kicked and punched in the midst of street Cornigliano Xavier (The Century XIX). Russo also assumed, in fact, was accused of beating to her husband and was due to appear before the magistrate in October ( La Gazzetta del Sud). The issue of male partner violence on women is a reality ignored, buried by the vast sea of \u200b\u200bclichés and stereotyped thinking, according to which, anyway, women have the role of victims, men as the perpetrators. In Italy and in Europe generally, neither journalists nor scientists, nor the institutions, would dare to investigate the other side (rough) of the coin and, above all, never conceded to disseminate the results. In the country (the U.S.) than the misfortune to sleep-consciousness that is the politically correct , however, the reaction to the flattening of the eighties and nineties of the last century, has produced a reaction which leaves room for positions "on the side of men ". And anyway, America has always been the land of "everything and the opposite of everything" and there has always ensured a liberal spirit that has kept high, at least, the banner of objectivity. Thus, in 1998, a search of the Department of Justice of the Government on violence against women (the '
Against Women Survey) revealed that men subject to domestic violence by wives or partners were about 40% of the total cases of violence. In the same year, an analysis conducted on over 77,000 cases by the Department of Psychology, University of California found that women with their male partners are violent as or more than these1 . Moreover, to cite a publication that helps us to frame the very case history Xavier Gallop, there is the long description a "Malicious Mother Syndrome in cases of divorce," given by Professor Daniel Ira Turkat the Psychiatric Clinic of the University of the State of Florida (1995). Among the divorced women reported in syndromic behaviors, there are just the excess of unjustified lawsuits against former partners, the attempt to alienate the children and the serious difficulties inherent in the frequent visits between them and the father. It should therefore be taken into account in an equitable excessive and harmful behaviors of both partners in a difficult separation.
Instead, in the first hearing of separation (Hearing that the presidential election, which takes place in the presence of the parties but in which witness statements are not accepted), to claim for the award made by both parents, the court decided that Sara and David were going to live with his mother. In accordance with the following reasoning: "The need for immediate action to prevent the recurrence of violent incidents" and not taking into account the fact that Xavier Galloppo had done this that he was himself the subject of violence ( Il Secolo XIX ).
In terms of guaranteed, the judge's ruling is questionable, because it reflects the situation where a civil court issue a ruling based on evidence yet to be ascertained by the judge. But we must remember that our legal system, first applies a preponderance of "free conviction of the court" than production of evidence and feedback on the other - when it comes to justice marriage - is possible, and accepted, that the civil courts consider "proof" an allegation of violence, when it is detailed and, in its view, unassailable.
On the other hand, no one will ever know what would change for him, Assunta Russo, for their children, after the first hearing, when, in the higher levels of the judicial process until the divorce, Saverio Galloppo could put his case with the support from the presence of witnesses. And though we can imagine the legal weight of a terrible conflict, which can be repeated triggering conflict gradually higher and higher, a husband and father who is terrified of losing their beloved children and live in them encounter barriers, which hates his wife and not agree to be guilty for what he is charged.
The last quotation is from one of the letters left by the inspector before killing and killing, "Justice is not that leads me to this gesture. So far I have served the state, " (Available from
).Indeed the Italian state has not yet found a balance to help overcome the legal equivalence separated fathers, absent fathers against their will.
