In the quiet commune of Nersac, France, a disturbing case of neglect has emerged. A nine-year-old boy reportedly
lived alone for two years, surviving with almost no parental care while still attending school and earning good grades.
Left largely to fend for himself, he ate cold canned food and scraps from a neighbor’s balcony. His mother livednearby but rarely visited, offering little support. Despite this, the boy kept himself clean and performed well
academically, which tragically concealed his suffering. Teachers, neighbors, and administrators believed his life was normal.
