“Come with us, we have a surprise”/ Violence against 17-year-old in Fier, mother tells how she discovered what happened: They ambushed her after class, my daughter was crying and trembling

A video published on social media, showing three girls assaulting a teenage girl, has sparked a major public reaction.

The mother of the assaulted 17-year-old has recounted how she found out what had happened, emotionally describing the difficult moments when her daughter told her everything.

“I filed a report a month ago, but nothing has been resolved. For a month, I have not been sleeping because of fear and terror. I took my daughter to a hairdressing course. I was waiting for her as I do every day, but they called me and told me that my daughter had fallen ill, had been put on an IV, but had not told anyone anything.

My husband picked me up and told me, ‘The girl was sick.’ I thought to myself, maybe something had happened, like with all girls her age. I set off to pick her up, because I did not want her to wait for the 4:00 p.m. bus. She came running, terrified. She was holding the IV in her hand. I said to her, ‘What’s wrong, my dear, why are you hurt? Who hurt you?’ She told me, ‘Nothing, I just got an IV and because I was alone in the hospital, I cried.’

‘But why is your eye bruised, my daughter?’ I said to her. ‘Why is your chin bruised?’ I asked her. ‘Why is your hair like this?’ I asked her.

As soon as we entered the house, I tried to find out something, but she would not speak.

At first she said they had attacked her because of social media. Then she told me: ‘Three girls assaulted me.’ ‘Why, my daughter? I take you to your course and wait for you to come home. Have you ever provoked the girls?’ I asked her. ‘No, mom, I have nothing to do with the girls. They simply told me: “Come with me, we have a surprise.”’

They were simply acquaintances she knew by chance. Apparently they had seen each other once, maybe twice, if I am not mistaken. They confronted her after she had left the course. That was when she was shaken. It was 6 in the evening. I told her: ‘Something has happened to you. Mom is here with you.’ Then she started crying and trembling. After that, we went to the police, where we also filed the report,” she said.
