In real humanity, the police let a couple and their three young children sleep in the police station.
In Rennes, the police showed great compassion. On the night of Tuesday 4 to Wednesday 5 August, an Ivorian family who found themselves without a housing solution was able to be accommodated in a police station, according to Ouest France.
"We could not remain insensitive to the distress of this family who had no housing solution in Rennes. We therefore decided to welcome them at the police station. They presented themselves at the police station on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday around 1 a.m. 45. It was a family with three young children aged 2, 4 and 8. They looked very tired and completely in disarray, "an officer told the newspaper.
Originally from Ivory Coast, the family reportedly arrived in Rennes after having been in Italy. "They are French-speaking so we were able to exchange easily with them, continues the officer. We tried to find them accommodation but it was really not easy at such a late hour.", Added the interlocutor of Ouest France. . Indeed, the social reception services had already closed their telephone line.
The police therefore found a place for them to sleep peacefully. And a hot meal was served. The family then left the police station on Wednesday morning. “Competent services” are currently taking care of them to avoid them from the streets.
