A little boy placed with child welfare (ASE) in Seine-Saint-Denis because of parental violence was kidnapped by his father Thursday, announced on Friday the Paris police headquarters by launching an appeal to witnesses.
The 8-year-old child, Mani Sulic, was abducted by his father Thursday "at 4 pm (…) in an emergency shelter in Villepinte", in the Paris suburbs, said the prefecture in a press release. He had been placed in this institution the day before, "on the grounds in particular of aggravated violence committed by his father. "

A new kidnapping alert
This call for witnesses comes a few days after the death of a little girl, Vanille, killed on her first birthday by her mother in Angers. Suffering from major psychiatric disorders, she had not brought her daughter as planned to the ASE where she was placed, and had smothered her before abandoning her body in a clothing container.
The “kidnapping alert” device had been triggered but had failed for the first time since its creation. On Thursday, the police prefecture also broadcast another call for witnesses, after the abduction in Paris on Tuesday of a premature baby by his mother in a Paris hospital.
