June 8 turned into a day of terror for a 17-year-old from Fier. According to the investigation, three girls, including a 20-year-old and two 15-year-olds, brought the teenager to the home of one of them and physically assaulted her.
What makes the case even more shocking is that the aggression was not carried out in secret. The actions were recorded on a mobile phone, and the aggressors, according to reports, laughed and encouraged each other.

The footage was made public only recently, bringing attention back to the disturbing phenomenon of bullying and violence among young people, a violence that nowadays is not enough to be committed but also needs a public display.
Accompanied by her mother, the minor girl immediately reported the case to the police. She stated that she was taken by force to the apartment where the violence occurred.
The father of the underage victim shared shocking details on the program “Me Zemër të Hapur” (With Open Heart) hosted by journalist Evis Ahmeti.
“I communicated with my daughter, she is somewhat better now. That day I had a bad feeling and called her. At first she hesitated to tell me. When I called again, she wasn’t answering the phone. Later she informed me that she was in the hospital receiving an IV, because she wasn’t feeling well,” he said.
The father recounted that he later contacted his wife and asked her to travel to Fier to pick up their daughter. They learned the full details of the incident from a relative who had seen the video footage. He himself works in Orikum.
“My daughter explained that she knew those friends through mutual friends. They waited for her as soon as she left her course. They told her they wanted to clear something up and took her home. Then what we all saw happened,” the worried parent added.
He claimed that in June he personally filed a complaint at the police station, but no immediate action was taken.
The father also described the severe physical condition of his daughter: “The girl had signs of violence from head to toe. She had injuries behind her ear, wounds on her head, pulled-out hair, and pronounced bruising around her eyes. Even though the medical staff saw the state she was in, they treated her only with an IV.”
Regarding the reasons for leaving school, the father explained that his daughter, who previously attended a hairdressing course, was forced to stop her lessons after she fainted during school hours.
According to him, doctors had determined that the girl had no health problems. He concluded his account by saying that now her condition has slightly improved, but previously she was in a very bad state.
