was the last Kidnapping Alert plan triggered by mistake?

The latest Kidnapping Alert should never have been triggered. On December 17, around 8 p.m., Halim B. presented himself in front of a house in Fouquières-lès-Lens (Pas-de-Calais), the home of the foster family of his 12-year-old son. “There was a knock on my door (…), there was a man whom I did not know at all. The kid opened the door and fled with the man in the car”, says the assistant.

The latter warns the investigators who are looking for the father and the child. Halim B., for his part, goes to the police station on his own and explains that he has recovered his son because he would have suicidal tendencies. He even indicates the address where to find it, but at the police station, no one makes the connection between the two cases. The next morning, Halim B. realizes that he is the most wanted man in France. He immediately calls the number indicated on the alert. “At first I thought it was a joke, entrusts Halim B. I called immediately to tell them my address, which I had already given the day before. “ However, the intervention forces question him and place him in police custody. It will take several hours to unravel the mess. Monday January 10, Halim B. was in court for child abduction, and not for kidnapping. The hearing was won.
