A five-year-old boy was found dead near a canal just 200m from his home after he was allegedly punished for ‘wetting the bed’, The Sun reports.
It’s believed the boy died after suffering a cardiac arrest, and was found wearing only his underwear in northern France’s Aire-sur-la-Lys.
The boy’s father, 30, and 20-year-old mother were arrested after police believed the boy suffered from physical abuse before his death. The parents had called for an ambulance after discovering the boy’s body near their home.
