Lost British Teen Found After 6 Years in French Commune: A Remarkable Tale of Survival and Discovery

A delivery driver in France, Fabien Accidini, found Alex Batty, a missing teenager who had disappeared six years ago with his mother and grandfather. Accidini came across Batty on an unlit mountain road in the early hours of the morning while delivering medicines. Batty had left his mother's life in a spiritual commune and was searching for his grandmother in England. The delivery driver offered him a lift, and during their three-hour conversation, Batty revealed his true identity and shared his story. Accidini contacted Batty's grandmother, and the teenager is now in the hands of French authorities.
