Francesa reports that a British boy who was found on the highway in the early hours of the morning after seven years says he was the victim of sexual abuse.
Since he traveled to Spain in 2017 with his mother and horse, 17-year-old Alex Batty has been missing. The boy will return to the United Kingdom on Saturday (16), according to French police.
French police said this Friday that British teenager Alex Batty, 17, who had been missing since 2017 and was found in France on Thursday (14), reported having suffered sexual abuse as a child.
After seven years of being missing, Batty will return to the United Kingdom on Saturday (16), according to the French police. A delivery man got confused and found him in the south of France. The main suspect for his disappearance is his mother.
She had lost custody of her son at that time, according to British police. On Thursday, French police said they suspected the woman had fled to Finland.
The young woman was interviewed this morning by the police involved in the case. However, they did not reveal whether the young man informed the police about the abuse that, according to him, he claimed to have suffered as a child.
The individual mentioned that he wanted to return home to the UK to the delivery man. His paternal grandfather was his legal guardian when she disappeared. According to analyses carried out in the country, the boy’s mother gave up taking him to school and wanted to live with her son in alternative communities.
The young man was found on a highway. Accidini, the delivery man, found the young man during the early hours of the morning. He told the French television network TF1 that he saw the rap star skating down the coast in the morning with a light and a backpack.
However, the young man would have had help for the teenager to call. In the United Kingdom, Alex asked the man to send a message to his aunt.
“Well, my dear, I am Alex. I am in Toulouse, France. I would be very grateful if you could get this message. I love you. “I want to go home,” the text said.
Realizing that the boy was not French, Fabien Accidini asked how he had arrived at the place.
After hearing the story briefly, Fabien took the horse to the local police, who verified the identity of the English teenager and started the procedure for his repatriation.
In 2017, Alex — at the age of 11 at the time — was found during a trip to Malaga, Spain with his mother Melanie and grandfather David.
Susan, Alex’s grandfather, reported that his mother was the one who caused the kidnapping. In an interview with the BBC, she said that the mother did not have the child’s guard and that she went into labor with the horse.
The remaining place of Alex’s mother and father is still unknown.
Alex Batty, a 17-year-old British boy who went missing in 2017, has finally been found. He will be repatriated to the United Kingdom on Saturday, according to French police. This discovery comes after seven long years of uncertainty and concern for Alex’s family. The French police confirmed that the teenager reported experiencing sexual abuse as a child, further adding to the distressing nature of his disappearance.
Alex had traveled to Spain with his mother and horse in 2017, and since then, he had been missing. Now, it is suggested that his mother may have been involved in his disappearance. She had lost custody of him at the time, as per British police. The police suspected that she had fled to Finland, but she was recently found and interviewed regarding the case. It remains uncertain whether Alex disclosed the alleged abuse to the authorities during his conversations with them.
To everyone’s relief, Alex was discovered by Fabien Accidini, a delivery man, on a highway in the south of France. Accidini witnessed the young man skateboarding along the coast with a light and a backpack. Despite being in a foreign country, Alex managed to seek help and requested Accidini to send a message to his aunt in the UK. The message expressed his desire to return home and his love for his family.
Accidini, realizing that the boy was not French, immediately inquired about his circumstances. Upon hearing Alex’s story, he promptly brought him to the local police station. The police verified Alex’s identity and initiated the process of repatriation.
This incident serves as a significant development in a long search that began when 11-year-old Alex was found in Malaga, Spain, during a trip with his mother and grandfather. Alex’s grandfather, David, revealed that it was his daughter, Alex’s mother, who was responsible for the kidnapping. In an interview with the BBC, David emphasized that his daughter did not have legal custody of Alex and went into labor with the horse, adding to the unconventional circumstances surrounding the case.
While Alex has now been found, there is still no information about the whereabouts of his mother and father. The mysterious nature of their disappearance compounds the arduous journey Alex has endured over these past years.
As Alex prepares to return to the United Kingdom, his family and the authorities hope to provide him with the necessary support and care to help him process his traumatic experiences. The case serves as a reminder of the importance of vigilance and awareness in safeguarding children from potential harm, and the need for swift action in cases of missing children.
