TL;DR Summary

Alex Batty, who was abducted six years ago while on holiday in Spain, is expected to return to the UK to rebuild his life in Greater Manchester. The 17-year-old was found walking alone in the French Pyrenean foothills by a delivery driver who recognized him from a missing child report. Batty had been living a nomadic life with his mother and grandfather in "spiritual communities" before deciding to leave. Upon his return, he will be looked after by his maternal grandmother. Questions remain about the progress of the abduction investigation, the whereabouts of his mother, and the fate of his grandfather. French officials say Batty is in good health and was not abused during his time away.
