A photo shows the involved suspects' terrace at the first level of a residential building where which a boy was discovered in the courtyard naked and malnourished on a pile of rubbish in a van where he had been kept locked up, in Hagenbach, eastern France, on April 10, 2026. Gendarmes discovered the child on April 6, 2026, after being alerted by a local resident who had heard "the sounds of a child" coming from a van parked in a resident's courtyard. The nine-year-old endured a nightmare for over a year in the small village of southern Alsace, according to the public prosecutor in Mulhouse, who announced on April 10 that the boy's father and his partner had been charged.
