A man hit ten departmental agents in the Maison Nord Solidarités in Lille (North), Tuesday January 14, while his partner kidnapped the two children she had entrusted to child welfare.
Had they prepared their move? On the morning of Tuesday January 14, a man entered the Maison Nord Solidarités in Lille (North), accompanied by his partner, as told by Ici Nord. The first named violently attacked ten departmental agents who were mostly social professionals. One of them, still in a state of shock a day later, was still hospitalized, our colleagues write.
The two children found safe and sound
Was this attack a means of diversion? Because at the same time, the spouse took advantage of the disorder to flee with two of her children who were entrusted to child welfare (ASE). “Acts of incredible violence both for the young children kidnapped and both for our agents,” reacted Christian Poiret, president of the Northern Department, when questioned by our colleagues.
A few hours after the incident, the two children were found by the police and immediately taken into care. The Maison Nord Solidarités will be closed until the end of the week while the attacked agents have filed a complaint. “Violence, in any form whatsoever, has no place in our society and even less in premises where our collaborators accompany Northerners with respect and where they surround with kindness the children who must be protected,” reaffirmed Christian Poiret.
