In Chennevières, the Bois-L'Abbé district is mobilizing to find Mamadou, 10 years old

This Tuesday around 8 p.m., the groups of residents of the Bois-L'Abbé district on the Chennevières side (Val-de-Marne), are preparing to get into their cars to find Mamadou, 10, when Mamadou Sy, municipal councilor and figure of the city, speaks again on behalf of the family of the missing child.

"We have just had investigators from the Brigade for the protection of minors," he announces.

His backpack has just been collected in the 14th arrondissement of Paris.

Like one man, the hundred or so people who came to participate in the research set off for the capital.

Exemplary mobilization in the neighborhood since the disappearance of this child Monday at 4:30 pm This student in CM2 at the Hauts-de-Chennevières school left his establishment as usual before disappearing.

Comrades see him taking the opposite path he is supposed to take to return home.

Since then, almost no more news.

"He's really a very calm boy"

His mother calls the Chennevières police station.

Then she makes more phone calls to try to get information.

At 9 p.m., more and more worried, she came to make a report.

An investigation is opened for worrying disappearance.

The matter was taken seriously immediately.

"The family track is not privileged contrary to what often happens, indicates a source close to the investigation.

The father and mother get along well and participate in the research.

The child has never run away and does not seem to be a problem.

Clearly, this is not a problem family at all.

"

"Mamadou is in class with my son," testifies a mother during the rally this Tuesday evening.

He really is a very calm boy.

"

Chennevières, this Tuesday evening.

The child's father, as well as Mamadou Sy, municipal councilor of Champigny, and Jean-Pierre Barnaud, mayor of Chennevières, were with the hundred inhabitants of the city to organize the research.

The first searches started during the night yielded nothing.

A wanted notice is posted by the family on social networks.

This Tuesday morning, the police station mobilizes 30 officials, reinforced by their colleagues from Champigny.

"We proceeded in concentric circles starting from the school," says the same source.

The dog squad makes the dogs sniff Mamadou's clothes.

But the animals always come back to the family apartment.

"

What if Mamadou had gone on an adventure?

At the beginning of the afternoon, the Créteil public prosecutor's office relinquished Chennevières to entrust the case to the brigade for the protection of minors, the specialized service of the judicial police.

We learn that in Mamadou's class, a course had just been given on travel, particularly urban.

What if the child had gone on an adventure?

A testimony from an inhabitant of the neighborhood supports this hypothesis.

"He crossed paths with him in the Denfert-Rochereau district in the night from Monday to Tuesday around 4 am," one confirms sources.

The hypothesis of a "fugue" in Paris appears more and more credible with the discovery of the backpack in a street of the Alésia district.

According to our information, it was in good condition.

"The hypothesis of a kidnapping is moving away," says an investigator.

It could well be that Mamadou tried to go to Paris.

He may not dare to come forward because he is afraid of being scolded.

Hopefully he didn't have bad encounters.

This hypothesis was in any case the most credible.

“Take a good look in the halls, in stations or in cars, urges a close relative of the family this Tuesday evening.

It's cold.

No doubt, Mamadou is trying to warm up.

RATP agents view live images

“We provided the search notice at the Alésia metro station, slipped this Tuesday around 9 pm one of the young people from Bois-l'Abbé who left with his friends to try to find the child.

The agent there passed the message to nearby stations.

Suddenly, they will all try to see on the live cameras to see if the little one is not on the docks.

"

On the police side, we waited in particular for the requisitions to the RATP to be successful before viewing the recorded tapes.

This Tuesday around 9:15 p.m., Mamadou was still missing.
