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.
“The investigation must determine whether the child died of cold, if this is the result of a fall, or a case of abuse,” a police spokesman told French publication Le Parisien.
“A child of five years died in suspicious conditions as to the explanations that have been given, with a medical reason not established at this time. The suspicious conditions of this death led us to put the parents in custody on suspicion of violence causing death,” Patrick Leleu, the prosecutor of the Republic of Saint-Omer, said.

4 years WTH ???
I say good riddance to Bernadi - my only thought is why they had such a nut job in the party anyway. It was a senate seat - people were voting for the party not him.
My only concern is he is in the senate now- purely as a Liberal senator and he shouldn't be able to jump ship until the next election unless he wants to quit. It is dishonest and gives him way too much power to him as a cross bencher. Long term though- good riddance to one of the most truely repugnant politicians out there.
I think he is symptomatic of a Liberal party that's almost the same as the Labor party on policy. A party that lacks vision and leadership.
There are millions of conservatives who had to really pinch their nose to vote Liberal last election and about 1.1 million who changed their votes away to the right, to parties like Hanson.
It's a hostile mood in conservative country at the moment, I wouldn't underestimate the effect he could have in South Australia, depends a fair bit on how Xenophon performs.
