Naked boy rescued in France

The rescue occurred in eastern France after a neighbor reported hearing 'chilling sounds' coming from the vehicle.

The father has been detained and reportedly claimed he imprisoned the child to 'protect him' from the outside world.

Medical examiners found the boy was severely underweight and had not showered in over a year.

He is currently receiving intensive care at a local hospital as social services begin the process of finding a safe environment for his recovery.

The case has sparked national outrage and calls for better monitoring of vulnerable children.
