Missing British boy, Alex Batty, located in France after six years, confirmed by authorities

Authorities have confirmed that a 17-year-old English boy who went missing in Spain in 2017 has been found in France. The teenager, who goes by the name Alex Batty, was discovered in the town of Revel, located east of Toulouse, on Wednesday morning. The incident occurred six years ago when Alex, then 11 years old, disappeared while on vacation with his mother and grandfather in Spain. A concerned motorist found Alex and brought him to a local police station. According to a police source, the boy claimed to have been in France for two years and bore a resemblance to the last known picture of Alex. However, he seemed to be in good health and did not report any mistreatment. Alex's grandmother, Susan Caruana, who is also his legal guardian, previously revealed that she believed his mother and grandfather had taken him to live with a spiritual community in Morocco. They reportedly sought an alternative lifestyle and did not want Alex to attend school.
