Alex Batty, 17, pleads ‘don’t jail them’ six years after he was ‘kidnapped’ by mum & grandad – as they ‘stay on the run’

ALEX Batty has begged authorities not to jail his mum and granddad after the teenager was allegedly kidnapped during a holiday to Spain.

Alex, 17, who returned to the UK after six years missing in Europe with mum Melanie, 43, and grandad David, 64, said he did not want them to hand themselves in.

Alex told Good Morning Britain: “That’s why I didn’t come home sooner.

“All I worried about was them getting locked up.”

The teenager has returned to normal life in Oldham with his grandmother Susan Caruana – who was his legal guardian at the time of his disappearance.

Earlier this month, Greater Manchester Police confirmed that it had launched a criminal investigation into his alleged kidnapping.
