The parents of a child discovered in a car trunk in France have been arrested after claims that the baby, aged between 15 and 23 months, was concealed in the car boot from birth. The child’s age is uncertain due to the state of neglect in which she was found, although preliminary investigations suggest that the girl is between 15 months and two years of age. Mechanics working on the vehicle made the appalling discovery after hearing noises coming from the trunk of the car, noises the mother claimed to be coming from toys but which turned out to be coming from a little girl who was covered in faeces and unable to lift her own head. The mother allegedly told police that she’d deliberately kept the existence of the child a secret from her husband, a builder and that she’d never registered the child who has no name and is said be severely disabled. She says that she kept the child in the car from birth. A neighbour said that while the woman seemed normal, she appeared to live in the Peugeot 307 parked near her house. The car was sometimes covered in cardboard. None of her neighbours suspected that there was anything untoward about the family.
