A four-year-old British boy and his mother who went missing after travelling to Turkey have been found safe and well.
Gatekeepers News reports that George Jack Temperley-Wells was believed to have travelled to Antalya with mum Brogan Elizabeth Temperley on June 29 this year before both of them went missing.
They were likely to have spent time with his father, 41-year-old Scott Nigel Wells, while in Turkey.
Brogan’s grandparents Maureen, 78, and George, a retired Royal Navy diver and businessman 85, who lived with her near Darlington, County Durham, had been desperately waiting for news of their loved ones.
They revealed she had no idea of the ‘rumpus’ she had caused and was catching the next flight home.
Retired Royal Navy diver and businessman George said, “I told her “You have caused a right rumpus. What are you going to do?” She said “I am coming straight home”.
“I did not even ask her where she was or what she had been doing. She just said “I coming straight home grandpa because this has really frightened me”.
“She cannot understand why anyone would think the boy is in danger. It is ridiculous. There was never any chance of that bairn coming to harm.
“She idolises him. He is with her 24 hours a day when they are at home, I can tell you that. Someone had been in touch with her to tell her she was in the news.
“We did not even discuss what she had been doing because she was in such a hurry to get home as soon as possible.
“Thank God it is all finished now. She is my favourite granddaughter. I know her like the back of my hand. There is now way she would put George in danger.
“I was worried to death to tell you the truth. But I knew she would be okay. She is not back in Britain yet but she has booked straightway to come home.”
Temperley said his daughter met George’s dad, who is English, when he was living in Darlington and she was working at a local estate agents but they had a very unhappy relationship and split up before George was born, with Mr Wells moving out of the area.
Temperley said, “We had no idea she was in Turkey or that her ex partner was in Turkey until all this came up. Her friends were stunned.’
He added, “I have never met this fellow Wells and wish she had never met him. They were very bad for each other. If I was still boxing I would knock him out.’
He claimed Mr Wells had never supported the mother of his child and it was her grandparents who had looked after her accommodation.
“I cannot believe she would have gone to Turkey so he could spend time with his son. In fact, I don’t believe it. There must be some other explanation.”
Grandmother Maureen on the other hand said, “We love her to bits but she is driving us nuts not knowing where she is. We are a very close family.
“Her and Mr Wells have not been in a relationship for years so we have not got a clue why she would go to Turkey to see him.”
Grandfather Temperley said his son Richard, Brogan’s father, had been subject to very bad health and died earlier this year at age 57.
After Durham Police said told them that George and his mother have been located safe and well and have returned to the UK, where they are receiving appropriate support, Temperley said, “Our appeal was seen by hundreds of thousands of people across the world, so we would like to thank every single one of you who shared it and provided information to assist – we really do appreciate your help.”
