The family of a British kid, 4, and his mother, who went missing after visiting Turkey, have expressed their delight at their safe return.
On June 29 of this year, George Jack Temperley-Wells and his mother Brogan Elizabeth Temperley are said to have left for Antalya before going missing.
While in Turkey, they most likely visited Scott Nigel Wells, his father, who is 41 years old.
Maureen, 78, and George, an 85-year-old former Royal Navy diver and businessman, who resided close to Darlington in County Durham with their granddaughter, had been anxiously awaiting word of their loved ones.
They said she was boarding the next flight home and had no knowledge about the “rumpus” she had started.
She had the shock of her life when she read about this, said George, a retired Royal Navy diver and successful businessman.
“Grandad, I’m coming right home,” she said. She was in a terrible situation and was being terrorised to death by the publicity. Have you seen the news, grandpa? she asked. What in the world is going on?
I informed her “You’ve made quite a commotion. How will you proceed?” I’m going right home, she said.
I didn’t even inquire as to her whereabouts or activities. She only said, “Grandpa, I’m going immediately home because I’m terribly scared.”
She finds it difficult to see why anybody would believe the kid is in danger. This is absurd. There was never a risk that the little child would suffer injury.
“She worships him.” When they are at home, I can assure you that he is with her constantly. She had received a call from someone informing her that she had made the news.
She was in such a rush to come home as quickly as possible that we didn’t even talk about what she had been doing.
Thank God, everything is finally over. My favourite grandchild is her. She is like the back of my hand to me. She could not possibly endanger George.
To be quite honest with you, I was terrified. But I was certain that she would be alright.
She has not yet returned to Britain, but she immediately made travel arrangements to do so.
When she worked at a local estate agency in Darlington, Mr. Temperley’s daughter met George’s father, an Englishman, but the two had a very difficult relationship and separated up before George was born, with Mr. Wells moving out of the region.
According to her father, Brogan started experiencing drug difficulties not long after she became a mother.
The infant had to be taken away from her while she entered treatment and spent nearly a year in care, he said.
Every time she saw him when she was permitted to visit, she was heartbroken.
Mother and kid were reunited once Brogan got treatment for her issues, and they have been inseparable ever since, Mr. Temperley continued.
She obviously adored him, he said. Except when he was in nursery playing with his pals, he followed her everywhere.
According to the grandpa, he gave his daughter a piece of land he had in the neighbourhood, and he and his wife Maureen often went to see their granddaughter and great grandson.
She told him she was going to the Midlands, where the family used to reside and where she grew up, to see friends, although he hadn’t seen either of them in two months.
We were unaware that she was in Turkey or that her ex-partner was there until all of this came out, according to Mr. Temperley. Her companions were in disbelief.
“I have never met this person Wells,” he said, “and I wish she had never met him.” They weren’t good for one another at all. He would be knocked out if I was still boxing.
He said that her grandparents had taken care of her housing and that Mr. Wells had never supported the mother of his kid.
I find it incomprehensible that she would go to Turkey to allow him to see his kid. In fact, I don’t think it’s true. There must be another justification.
Grandmother Maureen stated, “She drives us crazy not knowing where she is. We love her to pieces. Our family is really close-knit.
We don’t understand why she would go to Turkey to visit Mr. Wells when they haven’t been together for years.
Richard Temperley, Brogan’s father, had extremely poor health, according to Mr. Temperley, and passed away at the age of 57 early this year.
He claimed that Brogan had minimal touch with his mother and that Richard and Brogan had been apart from her for a very long period.
They were unaware of Mr. Wells’ occupation and were unaware of his activities in Turkey. They thought he had a second kid from a separate relationship.
George and his mother have been found safe and sound and have returned to the UK, where they are getting the necessary care, according to a statement from Durham Police this afternoon.
“Hundreds of thousands of people across the globe saw our plea, therefore we would like to thank every single one of you who shared it and contributed information to help – we truly do appreciate your aid,” the statement reads.
His mother Brogan, 28, was described in the first application as having a thin body, long, black hair, and dark eyes.
Two of these photos were shot in Antalya, Turkey’s Marina district, where George was last seen.
Police were in a rush to find George and talk with his mother because they were gravely concerned for his wellbeing.
Anyone who knows her has been requested to urge her to get in touch with the Turkish or British authorities right away to establish her whereabouts and/or request help getting back home.
