THE mum and grandad of British teen Alex Batty, who abducted him in 2017, will not face criminal proceedings over his disappearance.

Alex fled a commune in France in December 2023, leaving his mum and their “off-the-grid life” to return to the UK after six years.

British detectives have said they “explored all possible lines of enquiry” before deciding there are “insufficient grounds” to try for a prosecution.

The decision applies to Alex’s mum and grandad, who kidnapped him during a holiday to Spain at the age of 11.

Cops added it was “the outcome Alex and his family wished for” but felt the case should be “properly and thoroughly investigated.”
