Disappeared in 2017 when he was just 11 years old, young teenager Alex Batty was found this week following escaping from his mother following living all these years in a spiritual community.
Finding himself on a small road in Aude, he crossed paths with Fabien Accidini, an occasional delivery driver who helped him. This Sunday, the young man returned to this incredible encounter: “I told myself that he was perhaps returning from an evening between two villages. But clearly, it wasn’t normal to find him there in the middle of the night and in the rain. So obviously, I told myself that he needed help.”
But the local did not expect what the young man was going to tell him: “When he told me that he had been kidnapped, I asked him to repeat because it was crazy, I didn’t know. not believed at first.”
Surprisingly, young Alex Batty did not seem traumatized by these six years away from his family: “We laughed, we listened to music, it was as if it was a normal situation and that I had taken someone one hitchhiking in fact,” continued Fabien Accidini, “except that he wasn’t hitchhiking and he had been walking for four days.”
Delivery driver, Fabien Accidini also confides that Alex Batty helped him work by carrying the pharmacy bins he had to deliver. “I’m realizing it as I go along, but I’m happy to have been able to help him, that he can turn his life around and live his life as a young man like me when I was his age,” he said. concluded.
On Saturday evening, Alex Batty returned to England where he was able to find his grandmother.
