[A British boy who has not been seen since his
mother and grandfather allegedly abducted him
in Spain six years ago has been found alive and well
in France, prosecutors said today.

Alex Batty, from Oldham, Lancashire,
was just 11 when he did not return from a holiday
with his mother Melanie, then 37,
and grandfather David, then 58, in 2017.

Alex's grandmother and official guardian,
Susan Caruana, said in 2018 she believed her
daughter and ex-husband had taken him abroad
to live an 'alternative lifestyle'.]

Real Nice News
he is Alive

Good news but the poor kid must have had a terrible life there to say he fled the place as soon as he was able. His poor grandmother

At least he was safe

[Early enquiries by judicial police
working with prosecutors suggest that Alex
was living in a 'spiritual community' with
his mother and grandfather,
and mainly staying in caravans and tents.

At the time of Alex's disappearance six years ago,
Greater Manchester Police said
'extensive enquiries' led them to
believe that Alex, his mother and
grandfather left Benahavis and may have
tried to head to Melilla in Morocco from
the Port of Malaga.

Officers said they believed Alex was
staying with Melanie and David who
are 'both at large' and wanted
in connection with his abduction.
But it has now been revealed that
the family had been living in France.]

At one point the boy spoke to his grandmother and said he was happier with his mum and grandad
He basically got fed up and left the hippie life

I need more info on the story.

First question. Why was the Grandmother his guardian?

Most likely drink or drugs on his mother’s part

…physically he’s well so it would seem and he’s been with his mother and (step)…grandfather…?…I guess some ‘story details’ may unfold in time …quite an extreme of ‘the complication of families’ thought processing…

depends when this call was made two weeks into 'the holiday'or two years, he was a child when he was abducted so easily manipulated, also his Grandmother was his Guardian for a reason.... hopefully he did not suffer any abuse while in his mothers care

Ammi 15-12-2023 07:48 PM

…it’s reported that Alex’s grandfather died 6 months ago and he was about to travel to Finland with his mother…

i think this is the tip of the iceberg in terms of what happened. We may never hear the full story

Yes,
he was going with his
strange mother,
but had enough, and did not want to go
to Finland with her.

His Mother has vanished again.

I hope a good counsel
can help him.


Good reporting on SkyNewsHD

This is the most bizarre story

He needs to give us an interview on Good Morning Britain

He arrived
with his Head Covered
which is understandable.

Police officer protecting him from the Press

Good, he is safe back in the UK.

It also appears he was not registered
at any school.

Ammi 17-12-2023 03:01 PM

…as MTVN said, it really is a bizarre story …I’m not sure why Alex would say that his grandfather had died if that wasn’t the case..nothing has been confirmed either way, though…



Neighbours claim Alex Batty’s grandfather is alive as police admit his status is unknown…

Nothing has really be mentioned about the fact that the mother and grandfather kidnapped the kid. Surely that should be the focus, on capturing them

Yes,
Hence, the Mother is Hiding in Spain or France
or Finland?
