"The child was found lying in a fetal position, naked, covered by a blanket on top of a mound of trash and near excrement, indicating severe neglect and malnourishment."
"The boy's father stated he put the child in the truck to protect him from being sent to a psychiatric hospital, despite no medical records supporting this claim."
A nine-year-old boy was found living in his father's utility van in eastern France after being locked inside for nearly 18 months. Local authorities were alerted by a neighbor who heard sounds from the van. Upon investigation, police discovered the child in a fetal position, malnourished, and unable to walk. The father claimed he confined the boy to protect him from being sent to a psychiatric hospital, despite no prior medical records indicating any psychiatric issues. The child has since been hospitalized, and the father has been detained.
