An Amber alert has been issued in Seine-Saint-Denis following the abduction of three children, including a premature baby, with their parents suspected of the crime.
An Amber alert was activated in Seine-Saint-Denis after three children were reported missing, including a six-week-old premature baby. The alert was triggered on Saturday morning after the baby was reportedly abducted on Thursday in Epinay-sur-Seine, alongside his siblings, Nael, 18 months, and Eline, 2 and a half years old, who were under the care of the Aide Sociale à l'Enfance (ASE). The situation is urgent as the newborn suffers from a heart condition that requires medical attention within 48 hours.
According to the Ministry of Justice, the alleged abductors are the children's parents, identified as Abdelkader Benabderrahmane, 24, and Chaima Hattab, 20. Descriptions of the suspects have been released, including physical traits and potential identifiers. Authorities fear that the couple may attempt to leave the country, raising the stakes for an urgent resolution to the case.
As the search for the children intensifies, community members and local officials are urged to remain vigilant and report any sightings or information related to the suspects or the missing children. This distressing situation highlights not only the immediate danger to the children but also the deeper issues surrounding child welfare and parental rights that may come into play as the investigation unfolds.
