Complaint made before Daniel K. Cameron, Justice of the Peace of Fayette 
County, by Rosa Aculuccio and Pasquale Morano of Dunbar, Pa., mother and 
stepfather of Vittorio Aculuccio. Pasquale Morano deposes that his stepson, 
Vittorio Aculuccio, aged 10 years, had become incorrigible and cannot be 
controlled by him or his mother.  Said son will not stay home, runs away and 
stays for days and nights.  Said son quarrels with and fights his mother, has 
stoned his mother, uses profane language, boasts that he don't have to and will 
not obey his parents, is given to falsehoods.  Said son having with a knife in 
his hand tried to cut a little girl but was prevented from doing so by the 
mother of said girl.  Parents request that he be committed to reform school. 
     Joseph Sandy a near neighbor; testimony the same.
     Filomena Buttellier: a few days ago he tried to kill my little girl aged 
10 years.  He tried to cut her with a knife.  When I tried to stop him from 
cutting the girl, he abused me.  He fights nearly every day with neighbors' 
children.  I live very close to them.
