Alex Batty to remain under special legal protection, court decides
Alex Batty is fearful of the “glare of publicity” and will remain under special legal protection, a court has ruled.
The 17-year-old, who returned to the UK on Saturday, six years after disappearing on holiday in Spain with his mother and grandfather, was represented by lawyers at a hearing at a Family Court hearing at Manchester Civil Courts of Justice on Thursday.
Alex, who was 11 when he went missing and is now 17, had been reportedly living an itinerant lifestyle and he went to local authorities.
