French nationwide alarm system successful again after missing girl returned to parents

A French nationwide alarm system for abducted children appeared once again to have proved its worth when Berenyss, aged 7, was returned unharmed to her parents eight hours after being snatched from a village in eastern France.

For the 14th time in eight years, the French justice ministry triggered emergency bulletins on all radio and TV programmes to sound the alert after the suspicious disappearance of a child. On all previous occasions, the children have been returned alive.

The first bulletins were broadcast six hours after Berenyss disappeared on Thursday afternoon. Two hours later the little girl knocked on the door of a doctor’s house 80 miles from her home.

Sorry, meant to place in the Continental Thread.
Apologies.

Sensible thing to do and something we should do in this country as well. Even if it doesn't work every time in rescuing the victims at least it gives the them a better chance than they would otherwise have if we didn't do it.

Fully support this.
