Santiago Alerte Enlevement: The Urgent Search for a Missing Premature Baby
What Happened in France?
The French judiciary requested Tuesday the cooperation of Belgian authorities in the investigation of the enlèvement of Santiago, a prématuré of 17 days taken from a hospital in Aulnay-sous-Bois by his parents. These suspects may have crossed into Belgium, as announced by the prosecutor of Bobigny.
International Search and Alerts
The alerte enlèvement system was activated in France but was lifted on Tuesday evening. However, in Belgium, Child Focus and the federal police launched a Child Alert that same night, calling for witnesses. The important work done by investigators quickly indicated that the couple might have fled to Belgium with the infant during the night.
- Ongoing investigations are critical to ensure the baby's safety.
- The French alert system, enacted in February 2006, aims to mobilize the public during child abduction cases.
Details About Santiago
Santiago, identified as a male newborn aged 17 days with blond hair, was last seen at the Robert Ballanger hospital in Aulnay-sous-Bois. He was wearing a brown T-shirt and a thick white velour pajama when he was taken.
Profile of the Suspects
The suspects, already known to the police, are described as a 23-year-old man and a 25-year-old woman, both of whom have distinct clothing described in official alerts. Prompt public awareness is critical in cases like this, where time is of the essence for the child's safety.
