The scandal of the missing children abducted from India’s railway stations | Global development | The Guardian
Child abduction or child theft is the unauthorized removal of a minor (a child under the age of legal adulthood) from the custody of the child’s natural parents or legally appointed guardians.
The term child abduction includes two legal and social categories which differ by their perpetrating contexts: abduction by members of the child’s family or abduction by strangers.
Abduction or kidnapping by strangers (by people unknown to the child and outside the child’s family) is rare. Some of the reasons why a stranger might kidnap an unknown child include:
1) extortion to elicit a ransom from the parents for the child’s return
illegal adoption, a stranger steals a child with the intent to rear the child as their own or to sell to a prospective adoptive parent
2) human trafficking, stealing a child with the intent to exploit the child themselves or through trade to someone who will abuse the child through slavery, forced labor, or sexual abuse.
3) murder
The case of Marc Dutroux is a haunting and distressing series of events that shook Belgium and the world. Here are some key points:
Abductions: Marc Dutroux, a Belgian, kidnapped and held captive six girls between 1995 and 1996, with the youngest being only eight years old. He imprisoned them in hidden dungeons in his properties.
Gruesome Discoveries: Dutroux’s actions were discovered in August 1996 when two of the girls were found alive but traumatized in a hidden compartment in one of his houses. Unfortunately, two other girls, including Julie Lejeune and Melissa Russo, were found dead on his property.
Police Ineptitude: The case caused public outrage due to the perceived incompetence of the Belgian police in handling the investigation. There were multiple missed opportunities to rescue the girls as Dutroux had been previously convicted for sexual crimes but was released early for good behavior.
Public Outcry: The handling of the case sparked massive public protests in Belgium. People demanded justice and reform within the police and judicial systems.
Legal Proceedings: Dutroux’s trial began in 2004. He was convicted of abducting and raping the girls and was sentenced to life in prison. His ex-wife, Michelle Martin, was also convicted for her role in the kidnappings.
Impact and Reforms: The Dutroux case led to significant changes in Belgium’s judicial system, including reforms in the handling of missing children cases, improved coordination among law enforcement agencies, and stricter sentencing for serious crimes.
This case remains one of the most disturbing instances of child abduction and sparked widespread outrage and calls for justice and reforms in Belgium and beyond.

Marc Dutroux’s crimes traumatised Belgium, united the nation, and shattered public confidence in the justice system. The case is commonly described in the country as the worst thing to happen to it since the Second World War, and more than a third of Belgians with the surname Dutroux applied to change it between 1996 and 1998.

Marc Dutroux: Enemy of the Children [Part of a larger operation?]
Back to menu IMPORTANT CONTENT Listening recommended Must
In the late 1980s through to the new millennium, a stalker with the most depraved intentions toward children terrorized the city of Chaleroi, Belgium, and made those observers of this case very suspect of their leadership. Not only did the crimes of this assailant cause paralyzing fear and apprehension at the time, but also generated anger and frustration at those in power who may have committed crimes against humanity.
Dutroux: een tijdsdocument
Back to menu IMPORTANT CONTENT Listening recommended Must
30 mei 2015
Op 18 februari 2004 pakte TV1 uit met 86/96 – Het dossier Dutroux, een breed informatief live-programma van 75 minuten, dat duidelijkheid wil scheppen in “de warboel van informatie” over het proces van de eeuw. Als aanloop naar dit studioprogramma heeft Koppen op 17 februari 2004 de reportage Dutroux, een tijdsdocument uitgezonden.
In deze reportage van Michel Peremans passeren alle sleutelmomenten van de zaak-Dutroux nog eens de revue. Maar omdat alle media dezer dagen uitvoerig de vele aspecten van het Dutroux-verhaal belichten, zocht Peremans naar een originele invalshoek. Hij koos voor het maken van een tijdsdocument, dat begint in 1995 en loopt tot 2004.
De gebeurtenissen laat Peremans becommentariëren door vier bevoorrechte getuigen: Jean-Denis Lejeune (de vader van het vermoorde meisje Julie), minister Marc Verwilghen (die naam en faam verwierf als voorzitter van de commissie-Dutroux), politie-inspecteur Alain Remue (hoofd van de cel verdwijningen van de federale politie) en journalist José Masschelin van Het Laatste Nieuws. De vier vertellen hoe ze de gebeurtenissen hebben ervaren en begrepen.
Vader Lejeune is moegestreden. Na een indringend gesprek op de RTBf had hij zich voorgenomen om geen interviews meer te geven in de aanloop naar het proces. Maar uiteindelijk maakte hij toch een uitzondering voor Koppen. In dit beklijvend gesprek vertolkt hij zijn gevoelens. “Dutroux is een product geworden”, zegt vader Lejeune “Een product dat doet verkopen. Het is net een feuilleton waarvan de mensen het vervolg willen kennen. Het heeft iets pervers, iets voyeuristisch, en dat stoort me.”
Hoe dramatisch de gebeurtenissen ook geweest zijn, ondanks Marc Dutroux is de wereld toch blijven draaien. En dat wil Michel Peremans illusteren door de sleutelmomenten van de zaak telkens in te leiden met beelden uit de nationale en internationale actualiteit van dat ogenblik, ondersteund door de muziek van dat moment naar het voorbeeld van De Pré historie.
Door het losbarsten van de zaak-Dutroux was de zomer van 1996 ongetwijfeld één van de donkerste uit de geschiedenis van ons land. En toch was het ook de zomer waarin euforie heerste over de gouden medaille van Fred Deburghgraeve op de Olympische Spelen in Atlanta en waarin de mensen massaal de “Macarena” dansten en zongen.

Belgium’s X-Files – An Olenka Frenkiel Investigation
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes…
The case of abduction and murder against Belgium’s infamous paedophile Marc Dutroux remains unresolved. He has not been brought to book for these heinous crimes.
There appears to be a steel veil drawn over the facts at the highest level and no one is prepared to expose those involved in this blatant cover-up.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes…
Is this Belgian justice?
The Belgian justice system appears paralysed, unable to prosecute Dutroux, his wife or the third alleged accomplice, all now spending their sixth year behind bars.
Each year of imprisonment without trial strengthens their case against the Belgian authorities for a breach of their human rights.
So why the delay?
The official answer is that a series of hysterical conspiracy theories forced investigators to search for paedophile networks, which didn’t exist.
But for observers of this debacle, that’s exactly what didn’t happen.
Far from being investigated, leads pointing to a network seem rather to have been blocked or buried.
read more: Dutroux and the network
The victims
The judge in charge of the Dutroux investigation, Jean Marc Connerotte, made an appeal for victims to tell police what they knew. He offered them anonymity.
Police began checking Regina Louf’s stories, corroborating details, investigating how much was true and how much might be fantasy. They verified key elements of Regina’s story and found at least one murder that she says she witnessed matched an unsolved murder. But then something changed.
Connerotte was sacked from the case
Judge and investigating team replaced
In October 1996, Judge Connerotte, the only man who has ever advanced the Dutroux investigation was sacked. He had attended a fund raising dinner for the families of missing children – this was seen as a conflict of interest.
A newly promoted investigating magistrate replaced him.
His first job would be Belgium’s most controversial trial of the century. From that point on, according to the Russos, parents of one of Dutroux’s victims, no new evidence against anyone was added to the Dutroux file.
The special team of police officers interviewing Regina Louf and the other “X” witnesses, as they were called, were the next to be sacked.
A new crew was assigned to “re-read” Regina’s testimony. The press was told that the previous team had manipulated Regina’s evidence to make her credible. It is a charge which the police team have always vigorously denied and which has never been substantiated.
Friends in high places
Two years ago a Belgian journalist revealed the close relationship between the investigating Judge – Van Espen and two of those accused by Regina Louf in the murder, she witnessed, of Christine Van Hees.
Yet, when Regina Louf accused Nihoul and his wife of the murder Judge Van Espen saw no conflict of interest, no reason to resign. Nor was he sacked, as Connerotte had been. Instead he ordered the police officers to stay out of the case.
Van Espen resigned as the Judge in charge of the investigation only after his relationship with Nihoul, one of the accused, was exposed.
The media campaign
Regina Louf’s name was leaked to the press and the government-owned TV station RTBF began a campaign designed to prove that Dutroux was an “isolated pervert” kidnapping girls for himself, that there was no network, that Jean Michel Nihoul was innocent and Regina Louf was a liar.
Anne Thilly, Prosecutor General
The Prosecutor General declared Regina Louf ‘mad’
Today in Belgium Regina Louf’s reputation is destroyed. The Prosecutor General of Liege, Anne Thilly, declares she’s completely mad despite numerous statements from independent psychologists to the contrary.
The Judges have announced she will not be called as a witness in any future trial of Dutroux or his associates. Her testimony has been declared worthless.

Belgium’s failure to solve crimes
But the Belgians no longer seem to care.
They no longer demonstrate against the corruption and incompetence of their police, judiciary and political class.
They assume there’s been a cover up and those with high-placed friends have been protected from prosecution.
Critics of the investigation, like the Russos, who believe there is evidence of a network, have been systematically blocked and ignored, not because they’re disbelieved but because the Belgians are sick of it all.
This after all is a country renowned for its failure to solve crimes.

STORYLINE:
The trial of Marc Dutroux, who is standing trial for the kidnapping and sexual abuse of six girls, four of whom died, continued on Tuesday in the Belgian town of Arlon.
Laetitia Delhez was to to testify how she was held and abused in Dutroux’s cellar dungeon eight years ago.
Her testimony is seen as another key moment in the rape and murder trial which has horrified the nation.
It follows Monday’s testimony by Sabine Dardenne, who was also abducted by Dutroux eight years ago and survived 80 days of abuse by him in captivity.
Dutroux told the court on Monday that he bore full responsibility for Dardenne’s ordeal but insisted he never considered killing her.
Dardenne, now 20, said she only saw Dutroux during her kidnapping, dispelling theories that he was part of a paedophile network, according to lawyers.
Dardenne and Delhez were rescued from the secret cellar two days after Dutroux, his wife and a third defendant were arrested in August 1996.
Delhez, now 22, was kidnapped a week before being freed.
Two eight-year-old victims – Julie Lejeune and Melissa Russo – are thought to have starved to death in Dutroux’s basement in 1996 while he was in jail for four months for a car theft while his wife neglected to feed the girls.
Two others – Eefje Lambrecks, 19, and An Marchal, 17 – were also killed in 1996, and their bodies were unearthed from Dutroux’s backyard.
Dutroux, a convicted paedophile on parole at the time of the abductions in 1995 and 1996, has admitted kidnapping the girls, but claims he was working for a criminal network recruiting prostitutes across Europe.
The investigating judge has cast doubt on the assertion.
The trial is now in its seventh week.
His co-defendant 62-year-old Michel Nihoul faces charges of kidnapping and hostage taking of Laetitia Delhez, then aged 14.
Dutroux’s ex-wife, Michelle Martin, aged 44, is accused of conspiracy to kidnapping and hostage taking of the six girls, but argues she was forced to by Dutroux.
Michel Lelievre, 32, is charged with various counts of kidnapping and rape and for drug possession.

[HD] ⚠️CETTE VIDÉO CONTIENT DES RÉCITS POUVANT HEURTER LA SENSIBILITÉ D’AUTRUI⚠️
Pour certain Marc Dutroux est vu comme un tueur en série, pour d’autre non. Le terme de tueur en série se définie dès lors qu’une personne assassine au mois trois personnes différentes et à différentes périodes. Pour son cas, selon ses dires et de ce qu’en a conclut la justice, il aurait tout au plus assassiné deux personnes (An Marchal et Eefje Lambrecks), puisque Sabine Dardenne et Laetitia Delhez ont été retrouvées vivantes et que Julie Lejeune et Melissa Russo seraient morte de faim et donc indépendamment de sa volonté puisqu’il se trouvait en prison.

17 Zembla – De X Dossiers I – 11 maart 2004
Back to menu IMPORTANT CONTENT Listening recommended Must
26 mrt. 2014
In de Zembla-afleveringen van 11 en 18 maart 2004 (‘De X-Dossiers’) staat het verhaal centraal van de zogenoemde getuige X-1. Deze getuige, een jonge vrouw uit Gent, bracht met haar verklaring over netwerken die kinderen zouden hebben misbruikt en vermoord, in 1997 België in rep en roer. De advocaat van Marc Dutroux heeft gevraagd om X-1 tijdens het proces in Aarlen te laten getuigen. Zembla onderzocht – op basis van het politiedossier – wat X-1 nu precies verklaard heeft en wat het waarheidsgehalte van die verklaringen was.
In de eerste uitzending over X-1 (op donderdag 11 maart) blijkt dat de Belgische rijkswacht veel van wat zij vertelde heeft kunnen bevestigen. Op grond van haar verklaringen zijn twee onderzoeken naar vermoorde meisjes (Christine van Hees en Carine Dellaert) heropend. X-1 beschikte namelijk over ‘daderkennis’ in zowel de zaak van Christine van Hees als in deze van Carine Dellaert.
Tegenwerking
X-1 vertelde dat ze vanaf haar kinderjaren tot ver in de volwassenheid werd misbruikt door een aantal vooraanstaande Belgen en ook door Marc Dutroux en Michel Nihoul. In Zembla komt ze uitgebreid aan het woord over die herinneringen en over de verhoren door de rijkswacht. Zembla laat zien hoe de Belgische justitie, door X-1, over concrete sporen beschikte om de moordzaken te kunnen oplossen. Maar die sporen niet zijn gevolgd. Verder blijkt dat er duidelijke aanwijzingen zijn voor de betrokkenheid van Marc Dutroux en Michel Nihoul. De onderzoekers van destijds vertellen in Zembla hoe hun onderzoek verliep en hoe zij van hogerhand intern steeds meer tegenwerking kregen.
Fantaste
Over X-1 ontstond een controverse in de media. De meeste media schilderden haar af als een gestoorde fantaste, net als de Belgische justitie die na een paar maanden onderzoek het X-dossier afsloot. Maar niemand wist eigenlijk precies wat X-1 verklaard had en wat justitie aan onderzoek had gedaan. Het publiek raakte daardoor verdeeld in ‘believers’ en ‘non-believers’.
Deel 2 van ‘De X-Dossiers’ (op donderdag 18 maart) gaat vooral in op het strafrechterlijk onderzoek tegen de rijkswachters die het eerste onderzoek deden naar de getuigenissen van X-1 en andere vrouwen. Ook wordt in deel 2 aandacht besteed aan de verbanden tussen de X-Dossiers en Nederland. Sommige feiten in een derde moordzaak, die van Katrien de Cuyper, zijn in verband te brengen met de Zandvoortse kinderpornozaak.
IMPORTANT CONTENT
18 Zembla – De X Dossiers II – 18 maart 2004
26 mrt. 2014
In België verdwenen tussen 1973 en 1995 minstens 43 kinderen die soms later vermoord zijn teruggevonden. Getuige X-1, een jonge vrouw uit Gent, legde in 1996 anoniem zeer gedetailleerde verklaringen af over de moord op drie meisjes: Christine van Hees, Carine Dellaert en Katrien de Cuyper.
Ze beschikte soms over kennis die alleen een ooggetuige zou kunnen hebben. En ze verklaarde dat onder meer Marc Dutroux en Michel Nihoul erbij betrokken zouden zijn. In het tweede deel over de X-Dossiers brengt Zembla een reconstructie van het onderzoek naar de verklaringen van getuige X-1.
Vervalst
Hoewel de X-onderzoekers veel van wat getuige X-1 vertelde hebben kunnen bevestigen, oordeelde de leiding van de Rijkswacht na enkele maanden dat het onderzoek niet juist werd uitgevoerd. De onderzoekers werden zelfs verdacht van het vervalsen van een proces-verbaal en er werd een gerechtelijke procedure gestart.
Maar drie jaar later rapporteerde een interne Rijkswacht-commissie dat de X-onderzoekers hun werk wel degelijk integer en professioneel hadden gedaan. Valsheid in geschrifte is nooit aangetoond. Desalniettemin bleef het onderzoek gesloten en werden de moorden op de meisjes nooit opgelost.
Beloftevolle aanwijzingen
Zembla stelt echter vast dat er in het dossier nog heel wat beloftevolle aanwijzingen te vinden zijn. Zo zijn er verschillende sporen in de richting van Nederland die nooit zijn uitgezocht door justitie. Samen met Belgische onderzoeksjournalisten hervatte Zembla het onderzoek naar de moordzaken.
Twee druppels water
Het vermoorde meisje Katrien de Cuyper, dat in 1991 in Antwerpen verdween, lijkt als twee druppels water op een foto die gevonden is op een CD-rom in de Zandvoortse kinderpornozaak. Ook andere aanwijzingen brengen deze zaak in verband met ‘Zandvoort’. Geen van deze sporen zijn indertijd uitgezocht door de Belgische justitie.

20 “Témoin X1 -Silence, on tue des enfants” de Patrick Benquet
26 sep. 2020
Non, ce documentaire n’est pas de moi, mais d’un réalisateur nommé Patrick Benquet qui avec William Heinzer, Pascale Justice et Marie-Jeanne Vanheeswyck eurent le courage en 2002 (époque où l’on pouvait encore évoquer l’existence de réseaux pédocriminels à la télévision) de proposer le témoignage de Régina Louf, première des témoins X de l’affaire Dutroux.
Il faut le voir pour le croire…
C’est pour cela qu’il me semble important que vous le regardiez.
Bien entendu, rien de ce que nous dit cette femme ne fut pris au sérieux.
Tout fut caché vite-fait sous le tapis… et Dutroux, devenu seul lampiste de l’affaire, fut condamné tout seul, passant de “pourvoyeur de chair fraîche” à “prédateur isolé”…
Voici comment le réalisateur présentait son film:
“En août 1996 l’affaire Dutroux éclate en Belgique.
Quelques jours plus tard Régina Louf, une jeune femme alors âgée de 27 ans, déclare aux autorités Belges qu’elle a été durant son enfance et son adolescence victime d’un réseau de criminels d’enfants.
Sous le nom de code X1, elle devient le témoin principal d’une vaste traque policière et judiciaire qui va tenter de mettre fin à un réseau où des enfants kidnappés sont abusés, torturés et filmés.
Quelques mois plus tard après que le juge d’instruction ait été dessaisi du dossier et les policiers écartés, Régina Louf est l’objet d’une violente campagne médiatique visant à la faire passer pour folle.
Nous avons décidé de l’écouter.
“Témoin X1 -Silence on tue des enfants” est un film violent.
La réalité que révèle Régina Louf dans son témoignage est tellement insupportable que le réflexe naturel est de fermer les yeux ou de nier les faits.
Pour la première fois un témoin décrit de l’intérieur l’univers de la pédophilie, de la criminalité sexuelle, un monde opaque, secret, protégé. Les pourvoyeurs et organisateurs de ces réseaux sont définitivement au-delà de toute morale, de tout respect minimum pour l’être humain.
Quant aux clients, prisonniers des menaces de chantage auxquelles ils sont soumis, ils deviennent les complices et les protecteurs obligés dès qu’ils franchissent les portes de cet univers.
Régina vit aujourd’hui avec son mari et ses quatre enfants dans une ferme où elle élève des chiens et des chevaux.
C’est cet amour de la vie, ce désir forcené de survivre, qui a permis de rendre son témoignage audible. De dire l’indicible à la télévision.”

27 Year Old Cold Case SOLVED By a MOM | True Crime Expresso
The Case of Jared Scheierl & Jacob Wetterling
It was a brisk October night in 1989 when three young boys were racing home on their bikes coming from a video store along the rural farm roads of St Joseph, Minnesota, the wind danced through the hair of the young boys, & the echoes of their laughter intertwined with the vast emptiness of the fields. It was a trip that should have taken less than 15 minutes, but only two boys would make it home that night while one remained trapped in time.
The disappearance of Jacob Wetterling sparked one of the most extensive searches Minnesota has ever seen. A swift investigation followed, but it would be almost three decades before we finally found out what happened after Jacob was snatched from the rural road that fateful night by a real-life monster.
In today’s video we will descend into the icy abyss of the infamous Jacob Wetterling case. Join us as we pull back the shadows on the fateful sequence of events surrounding the vanishing of the 11-year-old boy. We’ll explore how this 27-year-old cold case was finally solved, how the clues missed in the initial investigation could have changed everything, and how this tragedy changed the entire world forever.

MINNESOTA – AMERICA:
Jared Scheierl, the story of another young boy who was abducted from central Minnesota in the winter of 1989 — just ten months before Jacob Wetterling was taken. His name is Jared Scheirel, and he was walking home one night, alone, after grabbing a chocolate malt with friends. A man pulled up in a blue car. He told Jared to get in. “I have a gun and I’m not afraid to use it,” he said. The man drove Jared down a dark, gravel road, and sexually assaulted him. But he let Jared go. This year, after no arrests were made for almost 30 years, authorities linked DNA left on Jared’s clothes to Danny Heinrich. Heinrich later confessed to both Jared’s assault, and to assaulting and killing Jacob Wetterling. Heinrich was a suspect in Jared’s case as early as three days after the assault. When Jacob was kidnapped later that year, Heinrich’s name was already in the files of the Stearns County Sheriff’s office.

La commission Dutroux Nihoul et consort a été mise sur pied afin de déterminer les dysfonctionnements des enquêtes suite aux disparitions d’enfants des années 1995-96.
Ce ne sont pas les actes abjects de Dutroux et ses comparses à proprement parlé qui vont aboutir à cette commission, mais surtout la découverte d’un fax provenant de Charleroi dans les bureaux de la gendarmerie de Grâce-Hollogne.

La commission Dutroux Nihoul et consort a été mise sur pied afin de déterminer les dysfonctionnements des enquêtes suite aux disparitions d’enfants des années 1995-96.
Ce ne sont pas les actes abjects de Dutroux et ses comparses à proprement parlé qui vont aboutir à cette commission, mais surtout la découverte d’un fax provenant de Charleroi dans les bureaux de la gendarmerie de Grâce-Hollogne.
Ce dernier informe Liège de l’existence de _Dutroux_,
ainsi que ses antécédents judiciaires, et donc ses condamnations pour faits de viols et de séquestrations sur mineures, . Il y était également mentionné que, d’après un informateur, il construisait des caches dans ses caves afin d’y cacher des enfants, et qu’il proposait la somme de 150 000 fb pour les enlever. Ce fax est arrivé le 07 juillet 1995 dans les bureaux de la gendarmerie, soit même pas 15 jours après la disparition de Julie et Melissa.
*On n’aurait donc pu sauver Julie et Melissa, ce qui aurait empêché l’enlèvement de Ann et Eefje ainsi que de Sabine et Laetitia*.
Y a-t-il eu rétention d’information ? Pourquoi ? Qui sont les responsables ?
C’est ce que la commission parlementaire va tenter d’éclaircir par un travail de deux ans dont le président, Marc Verwilghen, dira un peu plus tard qu’elle fût quelquefois entravée pour l’empêcher d’aller jusqu’au bout.

In 1996, Marc Dutroux was arrested on suspicion of having kidnapped, tortured and sexually abused six girls aged between 8 and 19, four of whom died. His widely publicized trial took place in 2004. Dutroux was convicted of all charges, along with the murder of a suspected former accomplice, and sentenced to life imprisonment.
Dutroux’s accomplices included Michelle Martin, Michel Lelièvre, Jean-Michel Nihoul, and Bernard Weinstein. Martin was convicted and sentenced as an accomplice to 30 years in prison, while Lelièvre was sentenced to 25 years. Nihoul, a Brussels conman, pub-owner and familiar face at sex parties, was initially tried as an accomplice to the kidnappings, but was acquitted of these charges due to insufficient evidence. He was instead convicted of involvement in a gang that participated in human and drug trafficking and was sentenced to five years in prison. Weinstein was never tried, as he was murdered by Dutroux.
Some testimonies implicated that Etienne Davignon, Maurice Lippens, Willy Claes, Paul Vanden Boeynants, Benoît de Bonvoisin and Prince Alexandre of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha were named as having been present at orgies involving underage boys and girls.
A number of shortcomings in the Dutroux investigation caused widespread discontent in Belgium with the country’s criminal justice system, and the ensuing scandal was one of the reasons for the reorganization of Belgium’s law enforcement agencies and widespread allegations of corruption and infiltration of the Belgian justice system by a criminal enterprise. In the White March, 300,000 Belgian citizens protested the mishandling of the case. Michelle Martin was freed on parole in 2012 after 16 years in prison. Michel Nihoul died in 2019.
Sadly, this evil is still going strong this very day, even more so. You will be baffled about what is going on in our world if you just take your time to truly research things. Perhaps one of the most shocking elements of pedophilia and human trafficking is the fact that there are so many people who live in denial and shout “fake news”. It is our duty to unite and raise awareness.
