      Parents who have lost custody (or think they will) are the most common kidnappers; "Stranger Danger" was a scare tactic much like "Just Say No to Drugs." You're at very little risk from people who barely interact with you.

      Yes, that driver is a hero. Picked up a kid at the end of a work shift when most people can’t wait to get home, and he drove him to the police. It’s the little things that matter. Two small details that made a huge impact on someone’s life.

    It is very sad how a parent robs her own child of other privileges and a chance to make something good out of their life. By now he would've probably been a very independent young man. 4 days and 4 nights of walking can only tell how much he wanted to free himself from the mother and it also shows how strong and determined he is.

It is a large source of trauma for me. Betrayed is an accurate description for a parent to do this their child but it's more abusive than anything else.

    The mother lost custody of the child, like it or not that’s kidnapping! How would you feel if your former spouse swiped your child when you had custody? Would you just move on and say “ooh it’s okay he’s with Mom” obviously a bad mom, carrying solar panels for heat, and light, living like nomads, not attending school 🙄

      I have had this happen to me…it’s terrible and a living nightmare. But I thought this was about saving a boy from trafficking. There’s so many kids that are missing and in terrible situations. I’m glad he’s home. Thank God he’s home! But I wish we could find more that aren’t with “family” and bring them home! Plus, believe it or not, sometimes people lose custody for no real reason other than getting a bad hand with the court. I know this because it happened to me, plus I practice family law. Now I have my kids back, rightfully, the way it should have been. My ex didn’t even go to jail for taking them for over 2 years. Glad the boy is home! It’ll be a great Christmas…just like ours was in 2018. 😢🙏🤗 God Bless! 🙏❤️

      He had his grandma's contact information, so it was easy to get in touch.
      He is old enough now to be thinking of going off to college, so he may not even be staying with grandma.
      Since he didn't go to school in the UK, he has no mates, no sister or brother, or any type of social connection. He'll have to start from scratch.

    Alex’s father is unknown and isn't in his life. His mother is unstable and both his mother and grandfather are in a cult. At some point, his mother ran off with a new boyfriend and wasn't properly caring for Alex. His grandmother stepped in to provide stability and Alex was happy. Then his mother decided that she wanted Alex back and took him. Alex loves his mother but he knows she's crazy. So he ran away to get back to his grandmother because he wants a stable life again. As bad as his mother's actions were, she can't help being crazy and I doubt Alex wants to see anything bad happen to his mother. Alex is almost a man and his mother has no control over him. His grandmother should drop the criminal charges and all should try and heal as best they can.

    He was walking in a cold rain when he was found; but, amazingly, wasn't hungry or thirsty. He's a resourceful young man. Thank Goodness that man stopped and picked him up. I wonder if Alex had any type of educational studies over the last few years.

    • @ThatBugBehindYou

      Well he did live a nomadic life for 6 years, walking for days probably wasn't strange for him nor was walking in rain. If your body is used to it you can perform for nearly a week without eating as long as you know how to properly stay hydrated in the wild and have accessible snacks on plant life around you. His mother is wrong for what she did but she probably taught him or learned along with him how to live this life they lived for so long.

    So...living with his mother and grandfather. Missing to whom? His Dad? Other grandparent? He was clearly taken care of by his parent and relatives. He knew he was kidnapped at age 11? I hate the news. This is where the story ends unless you investigate on your own.

      There may be more information coming out over the next weeks or months, but you will actively have to search for it. The MSM, having the attention span of a gnat, will have moved on to the next shiny object.

    Thus, it appears a non-custodial parent and relative abducted the child. The child 5 years later escapes and walks for 4 days and nights and is found by a delivery driver in France around midnight.

    Officials are being cagey about describing the mother and grandfather's lifestyle. This leaves one to wonder, was it a traveling crime family or gypsies? Sounds like mom and granddad were/are crazy.

      It is always considered abduction when a person of any age seems to vanish without any announcement of the location or safety of the person being known to anyone else. Although, I'm sure many children would not consider themselves to be in danger with their parent, but living without a safe place, running from officials isn't what we'd consider to be safe.
