Sydney, July 26 (DPA) A British teenager who survived 12 days lost in the Australian wilderness was disowned by his father over the division of spoils from an exclusive contract they negotiated for telling their harrowing story on television, news reports said Sunday.

Jaime Neale and his father, Richard Cass, were reported to have fallen out over how the 200,000 Australian dollar ($160,000) fee should be split.

The 19-year-old, who was found alive Wednesday just 15 km from where he went missing in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney, remains in Australia.

Cass, who had flown out from London to join the search, returned to Britain to tell his side of the story to London newspaper The Mail on Sunday.

'I feel I have been robbed by my own son,' Cass, 54, told the paper.
