How a British Boy Escaped 6 Years After His Abduction
MISSING BOY REAPPEARS AFTER 6 YEARS
In 2023, a French delivery driver driving in the rain saw a 17-year-old boy walking alone on the road. The driver pulled over and offered him a ride, noting the boy’s poor French. The boy told the driver his story and asked for his phone to call his grandmother. After the boy called her, the driver contacted the police. His name was Alex Batty, and he was a missing child from the United Kingdom. Six years earlier, in 2017, he went on vacation to Spain with his mother and grandfather. His legal guardian, his grandmother, bade her 11-year-old son a pleasant trip, but that would be the last time she saw him for six years. A stranger didn’t abduct him: His mother and grandfather took him and forced him to live with them in a Spanish nomadic religious commune. After three years, he was required to support the commune through construction and demolition work. He and his family would occasionally travel around Europe, but every
so often, his mother would travel alone, using a pseudonym to avoid arrest for child abduction. At 17, he resolved to run away after an argument and an epiphany. In an interview with The Sun, he explained that he wanted stability and opportunity, which weren’t compatible with the nomadic commune lifestyle. He left a letter expressing his love and ran off. Batty’s trip was long and arduous. Trekking through Spain and France, he relied on mountain springs for hydration and seldom ate until he reached Toulouse. While he could have called his grandmother sooner, he wanted to get distance between him and his family to protect them from persecution. Today, he lives with his grandmother in England. He says he loves and forgives his mother, wanting nothing but the best for her. Batty plans to become fluent in French, enroll in university, and major in computer science.
