France: Father holding his son incarcerated for three years
A man was arrested today and charged in Mulhouse, eastern France, and kept enclosed at home for a period of three years his son, aged now 8 years, not to give it to his mother, who had taken custody, reported AFP quoting judicial sources.
The boy who is confused, was caught by police in a terrible state, with his body full of insect bites and his hair full of lice, described the prosecutor in Mulhouse.
The child never went to school. His only link to the outside world, in the last three years, was a television network for children.
The boy is hospitalized in a specialized medical unit, waiting to be reunited with his mother.
The father, aged 37, recited the charges of abduction and retention, and faces the possibility of a penalty of imprisonment of 30 years. The prosecution today called pre-trial detention.
