  • was taken by his mum and maternal Grandfather, so not your usual missing child case.

    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.
  • Fair play to the van driver, could've very easily just kept on driving.

  • 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.
