A desperate search is underway for Santiago, a 17-day-old premature baby abducted from a hospital in Aulnay-sous-Bois, France.

The infant, who requires constant medical care, was taken by his parents, who are known to the police and have fled to Belgium.

Their car was found in Charleroi, but Santiago remains missing.

Authorities have issued a national search alert, emphasizing the critical need for Santiago's medical attention.

The parents, aged 23 and 25, are part of the traveling community and have a history of legal issues.

The situation is dire as Santiago's life depends on immediate medical intervention.
