Erwann, a 9-year-old boy who had lived alone for two years between 2020 and 2022 in Charente, is “doing well” now, indicates the president of the local departmental council, Philippe Bouty, to BFMTV. In January, Erwann's mother, prosecuted for neglecting a minor compromising her safety, was sentenced to eighteen months in prison, twelve of which were suspended.

“I’m not a mother hen, but he’s still my son,” she declared during her hearing.
