Pesaro, September 4, 2026 – They don’t make excuses: “Our son is guilty of the actions he committed and must pay.” We met them yesterday in their home, in the centro mare area. He is 48 years old, she is 49, both work. They are the parents of the 17-year-old who was driving the stolen Lancia Ypsilon on Sunday morning, chased by Police and Carabinieri through the streets of Pesaro. We do not publish their names to protect the privacy of the minor son. For over an hour they told us what happened and what they are experiencing now. On Thursday afternoon the father had written to Carlino recounting the family’s pleas for help and the repeatedly expressed desire to have their son placed in a protected facility.
The boy has ADHD and as he grew up the situation became more difficult
“Already at six or seven years old he had followed some paths. We never denied the problem.” The boy, they explained to us, has ADHD and as he grew up the situation became more difficult. “We don’t say we were perfect parents. But we raised our hand and asked for help.” At home it means dealing every day with reactions that are hard to predict. “Our day depends on his. On how he wakes up, how he reacts to a request. We hid the house keys, we even ended up sleeping with the keys on us to prevent him from going out.”

The father hid the medicine in the son’s meals for months
The father in the email also told of having hidden the medicine in the son’s meals for months because, he claims, it was the only way to get him to take them. Since 2024 the first problems with the law have also arrived. For about a year and a half, they say, they have been asking for a facility. “We are not saying that no one has done anything. There have been doctors, social workers, paths. But we kept saying that we could no longer manage him.” Yesterday Mayor Andrea Biancani rejected the accusation of a municipality that remained inactive. The father however clarifies: “When I spoke of pleas for help falling on deaf ears I was referring to the request to place our son in a protected facility. The system at a certain point reaches as far as it can and then stops. I don’t want this to be misunderstood.” He asked to meet the mayor: “I hope Biancani gives me an appointment, so I can go talk to him.”

The 17-year-old is one of the three youths identified in the vandalism raid
The 17-year-old is also one of the three youths identified for the vandalism raid on the night between Friday and Saturday downtown. Those images ended up on social media. “Some friends recognized him and contacted me. My son is a minor. Those images, in my opinion, should have been handed over to the authorities so they could proceed with investigations, not published on social media.” The father says he has already contacted the Postal Police and announces he wants to file a complaint against those who spread the video. Then the theft on Saturday night, the chase on Sunday morning, and the crash.
Father and mother called the police when they saw him arrive
The boy on Sunday managed to get away from the police station and returned home. Father and mother saw him arrive and called the police. “We were the ones who did it. Faced with a crime we would not have protected our son. Our conscience told us it was the right thing. One day maybe he will thank us, maybe he will hate us. We don’t know. But we thought about his well-being. Why wait for a serious crime to happen?” Now the son is in a community. “We miss him. We hope he can understand what it means to be well and then continue to be well.”
