10 years at the foot of the towers: more and more children involved in drug trafficking. In the city of Clos-des-Roses in Compiègne, a 12-year-old boy was taken into custody last month, a first for the police.

Isolated and left to their own devices, these children sleep and eat as best they can. “The living conditions are execrable,” explains Oumar Ba, the deputy mayor of Compiégne.
