Worse than that. It seems they were having a game of bowls in the woods when they left their baby alone in the car.
'The account of the couple leaves some gray areas.....'
According to the couple, they left the baby in his car cot, while they were playing bocca (a kind of mini-bowling) (in the dark??) nearby. The father then had to leave on a 'pressing need', leaving the 24-year-old mother alone with the baby.
At this point, a man snuck up and stole the baby from the car, and the father came back and tried to catch him. Both parents had some 'physical problems' that prevented them chasing the man who stole their baby. The father can't describe the man as he only saw the back of him. They then spent some time driving around looking, before finally alerting police to the kidnap.
Police will continue searches of the ponds around Chénérailles today. They would not comment when asked by media about any criminal history of the parents.
