A three-year-old girl hums somewhere in a room full of bunk beds. Apparently, after being bored and bored in the crowd of kindergarten children, she sneaked away and lying on one of the beds sings to herself to put her to sleep.
The teacher comes in, reprimands her, curses her, calls her a sharabajga, and then a 'crack' is heard, followed by sobs. The three-year-old girl broke her leg in the femur as a result of being pulled with all her strength and ferocity by the heartless educator, more heartless than the Gestapo guards we've seen in movies.
The child is kept in this condition for 3-4 hours, then the parents are notified and rudely told that something has bitten her and the girl's leg is swollen. The drama continues with a transition from one hospital to another, policemen who hide the truth, the forensic doctor who, in order to ascertain the crime, wants to bring the crippled little girl to the office, and so on and so forth, slowly, slowly, until after two or three days the event becomes the subject of a TV show.
The wonder starts right here: when the event escapes from the reality of everyday life and turns into a virtual television image. In the blink of an eye, it is discovered that the garden, a three-story building in the middle of Tirana, was unlicensed, so it is closed soon.
Against the sadistic educator, who had other episodes of violence, the criminal prosecution is immediately started. Two policemen and the coroner, who at least showed themselves to be docile and indifferent, are suspended from their duties.
Child protection associations gather and protest in front of the kindergarten, commentators and activists rush to the screens to analyze the harrowing event. The television screens show and re-show the teacher beating the little girl with a ruler as well as the image of the broken femur, as if to prove that something is badly broken in the fabric of our society.
Previous experiences lead you to think that after three or four days of noise, we will forget the horrible event, we will escape from the virtual world and return to the real world filled with informality, neglect and indifference. We will continue the lethargy between irregularities and daily scandals, until time brings another scandalous story to cross the boundaries of reality, enter the plane of the media virtual and set in motion the mechanisms of the state and society.
Thanks and that's it, the indifference would say and continue the old adage: Dog food, dog drink, just don't share it with the Karadyzen.
Yes, we do not pay taxes virtually and with campaigns, while children, the elderly and all citizens need standard services, for the state and the law, every day and every moment, here and now. Not to mention that we drank the stock's juice with meals and time.
