  • was taken by his mum and maternal Grandfather, so not your usual missing child case.
  • They sound like right weirdos. Had him living in some spiritual tent in the arse end of nowhere.

    Well as he was taken from Oldham, It was still an upgrade for him. 
    Indeed - a remote Pyranean valley, or Oldham. Which one would you choose. 
  • Sounds like he’s escaped from some sort of religious cult that his parents were involved in . That’s why his grandmother was had custody . 
    Hopefully they will be arrested by the French authorities.

    Catholicism is no longer a crime.

  • Is it rather a case for the Spanish authorities? He is reported to have walked from Spain into France, a reversal of the route used by escaping Allied military people in the Second World War.
  • tough boy .. seems that the 'hippy way of life' his mother led him into made him a self reliant young man .. he'll be fine and mum can freeze in the Finlandish weather .. as an aside, the Pyrenees is a beautiful part of Europe, ideal for hiking, BUT not really in winter
  • Brave kid walking off in the mountains to find help, especially if it's true he walked for 4 days.

    Good on him.
