In a follow up story on the saga of English citizen Glyn Thomas Bailey, Listin Diario reports Bailey has returned to England, thanks to efforts of the United Kingdom Embassy in the Dominican Republic.
Meanwhile, his Facebook friend in the Dominican Republic Wilfa Soto says she has gotten closer to God after this experience. Soto had hoped her UK man would help her raise her daughters and have an easier life here when she accepted to host him at her home in Cotuí. As it turned out Bailey was practically penniless and even came with just a one-way ticket. Soto even had to travel to Punta Cana to pick him up because he did not have for the fare to get to her hometown of Hato del Castillo, Cotuí.
Listin Diario reporters who spoke to him in England said he is depressed, disillusioned and is living alone after his Dominican adventure. He says now he always told Soto he had no job or money. Bailey spent two weeks hospitalized at the mental health unit of a public hospital in Greater Santo Domingo. He said had no issues with the treatment received by the physicians there.
The case hit social media when Soto asked for help online to send Bailey back to England because she could not afford his upkeep in the country.
