[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'.] https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ls-reveal.html Real Nice News he is Alive Last edited by arista; 15-12-2023 at 02:09 AM. |

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.] Last edited by arista; 14-12-2023 at 04:29 PM. |

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 |

…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

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 Last edited by arista; 15-12-2023 at 10:38 PM. |

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. Last edited by arista; 17-12-2023 at 05:58 AM. |

…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… https://uk.yahoo.com/news/neighbours...121735362.html |

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
