Alcacer do Sal

Alcacer do Sal, a town located approximately 100km south of Lisbon in Portugal, has recently become the focal point of a news story involving the abandonment of two young French boys. The children, both under the age of five, were discovered by a driver crying beside a road near the town. They were reportedly carrying backpacks containing food and water but lacked identification. Authorities subsequently arrested a French woman, identified as Marine R, and her partner, Marc B, in Fatima on suspicion of abandoning the children. The pair have been held in custody until their trial following a court ruling. This incident has brought Alcacer do Sal into the news due to its proximity to where the boys were found and the subsequent investigation and arrests.
