Questione giuridica chiave
Whether repeated beatings of the children caused serious bodily harm under Art. 122 CP through an adequate causal link.
Decisione estratta
Yes. Repeated violent abuse over more than one month was objectively suitable to cause a grave impairment of the children's mental health; other contributing factors did not break adequate causation.
Motivazione estratta
Adequate causation requires conduct capable, in ordinary course and life experience, of producing the type of result. The mother's violence was the predominant cause; additional stressors were secondary and did not supersede the abuse.
