A mother and her spouse have been indicted for torture and acts of barbarism on their little boy. The latter was notably attached to his bed.

The child was discovered in “a state of very great thinness”. A 21-year-old mother and her 24-year-old partner have just been indicted for torturing their 4 and a half year old child, reports a daily article 20 minutes. They were also remanded in custody. The Bourges public prosecutor’s office has opened an investigation for “deprivation of care or food”, “minor abuse” and “torture or act of barbarism against a minor”, said the public prosecutor Joël Garrigue, Saturday, January 22.

The little boy was notably locked up “sometimes for several days” in his room, without water or food and was not allowed to go to the toilet. This also prevented him from having a regular schooling. He was too “tied by the neck to his bed, with a chain and padlock” and suffered “repeated acts of violence and physical punishment” such as blows, slaps and bullying, specifies the public prosecutor. Chilling facts recognized by the boy’s mother and stepfather.

Abuse that has lasted since September 2021

Yes the violence began in September 2021, it was not until January that the authorities discovered these acts of barbarism. Indeed, on January 17, the boy became unwell in primary school and was hospitalized at the Bourges hospital center. It was then that a doctor noticed several “bruises on limbs and back”, from “traumatic injuries” as well as a “scalp sore”. Since, the child – like his one-year-old sister “who seems not to have been subjected to violence” – was supported by Child Welfare, says the prosecution.
