I want to roll 666 on a dice

Directly from the mail page of an Italian newspaper! I translated it for you, I hope it's quite understandable (even the original Italian version is full of errors!) It's a mail by a worried mother...

[The bad or the diabolic ones win: this is not a game for children]

I'm the mother of two young guys. I received a catholic education but I'm open minded to the achievements of the modern time, but I don't give up my values and I'm trying to pass them to my children.
Unfortunately there are new dangers, and I'm writing to let you know it, you unaware parents.
It started to be diffused, especially in Vomero (a district of Naples), a game called "Dragons and D..." in Italian "Dragons and Caves", it hides, beyond an apparently innocent board game,
real rituals, magical and esoteric symbols. Because the guys usually play it at home in beyond suspicion hours (usually in the early afternoon), no parent may never have to dissent.
The game is ruled by a "master" usually older than the others and in the game every child must "embody" himself in the character assigned: the wizard, the orc. The problem is that every character in the game fight against each other and put curses on each other too, they do real magic rituals in a dark and hideous atmosphere where the victory is assured only to the most evil and wicked. In addition, to gain more power, you must roll 666 on the dice, the least of religious culture we have got, let us remember it's the satanic number par excellence, that witch symbolize the Antichrist. In addition, the masters (all of them are of age) go out to France to get hold of parts of the "game book", only them can keep it and the aim of the game is to create new masters to gather other children, friends and relatives under their control, in this way they generate new parties in a never-ending chain.
I want to clarify to the non-catholics parents, that I took a degree and I'm not an "old bigot", I understood the seriousness of the situation after a total change of the behavior of the guys, they become unruly and intractable, they react violently to their parents and they give up their normal hobbies to totally devote themselves to this game.

mmmmh... and the rest of Italy? It's diffused only in a district of a city?!?

The original version: "Dragoni e Caverne" > "Dragons and Caves" (no there's no sense even in Italian)

I don't know if I translated it right or is understandable... the Italian quote is quite funny

Oh dear.  This made me grin lots.  Ah, misguided mothers.
Was this a normal newspaper?
Interestingly enough there appears to be a pro-D&D Christian counter culture on the web which is setting out to re-educate the game burners.  I'll see if I can find the links.  Useful stuff if you're ever backed into a corner!  Hopefully this silly woman will not be listened to and we won't have to smuggle you to the UK, where our secular culture tolerate the smouldering dice of brimstone. ;)  
Could be worse.
Could be Salt Lake City! :D

LMAO! wow!

and in a recent news paper?
I had really hope the God-mob had grown  out of the whole D&D bashing thing ... guess I expected too much from people reading a 1900 year old book and trying to apply it to current events ...

No it isn't. It's a sort of a minor publication, a local newspaper... but not so unknown in Italy.

I don't know, I recently see it on facebook... but I think it's a quite old publication, I discovered that the ignorant journalist who answered to the mail worked for that newspaper from '89 to '05 (thank you wikipedia).
