The child lived alone between the ages of 9 and 11 after his mother abandoned him to live with a friend. The case took place between 2020 and 2022 in Nersac, France. The boy ate food that was given to him or stolen by his neighbors.
According to the newspaper World, the school and social services did not notice the boy’s situation as he continued to go to school and always fulfilled his school duties. Moreover, despite the conditions in which he lived, without electricity or access to hot water, the boy came to school dressed and presentable.
Although the woman protested her innocence, testimony from some neighbors and an investigation by the prosecutor’s office showed that there were no signs in the apartment indicating the presence of an adult in the house. According to the newspaper, neighbors noticed the situation and raised the alarm. In addition, phone data shows that the mother did not spend the night at home with her son and did not take him to school, he says World.
The 39-year-old mother was sentenced to 18 months in prison, 12 of which were suspended. You will add the remaining six with an electronic bracelet.
