Boy, 11, who vanished for six years in different country, contacts mum for first time since being found by French delivery driver
The 20-year-old from Oldham got in touch after filming a documentary
www.gbnews.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent publicly reported coverage.
- A 2026 GB News article reports that Alex Batty, now about 20, has made contact with his mother for the first time since being found in France in 2023, in connection with a BBC documentary about his disappearance. This aligns with ongoing media coverage of his story and family communications [GB News: 2026-05-12].
If you’d like, I can pull in additional recent sources (e.g., mainstream outlets or official police statements) to corroborate and expand on these updates. Would you like me to do that?
