Two years and 6 months for teacher Francesca Rocca for serious culpable road injuries and abandonment of a minor; one year for the driver Chiara Colonnelli for serious culpable road injuries with a suspended license for a year. These are the sentences delivered today in the verdict of the Velletri (Rome) court for the case of little Lavinia Montebove, hit by a car in 2018 at the age of 16 months in the parking lot of the nursery school La Fattoria di Mamma Coccà in the Lazio town. The child has been living in a vegetative state since then. For the teacher, the judge went beyond the prosecutor's request which was for 2 years.

Toddler hit at the nursery school 'because mistaken for a pink bag', the prosecutor: two years for the teacher, one for the driver

The father: «Verdict brings justice»

«It is a verdict that brings justice, since it has imposed penalties higher than the requests of the public prosecutor. It confirms that this event is not to be attributed to a tragic fate, as the conduct of the defendants has always made it seem in these 22 hearings, but it is due to specific responsibilities that have been well highlighted by the judge». So Massimo Montebove, father of little Lavinia.
