9-year-old boy survived alone for 2 years: In the story from southwest France, a young boy had a tough time when his mother left him alone in their apartment for two whole years. Despite being just nine years old, he had to take care of himself without any help. He didn’t have electricity or hot water, but he managed to get by on canned food and vegetables he found in neighbors’ gardens. Some kind neighbors also brought him food sometimes.

Even though his mother lived nearby, she hardly ever came to see him or help him out. His father wasn’t around either. It wasn’t until after almost two years that someone finally told the authorities about the abandoned boy.
During the court case, it became clear that the mother had indeed left her son alone. She was found guilty of abandoning and neglecting him and was sent to prison for 18 months. The boy was placed in foster care since he couldn’t stay alone anymore.
While in foster care, his mother only visited him once. As he grew older, he decided to break off contact with her completely.
It’s amazing how this boy managed to survive and do well in school despite not having his parents around. His strength and determination are truly remarkable.
This story shows how important it is for parents to take care of their children and how some children have to face tough situations because their parents don’t fulfill their responsibilities.
