I remember at least two cases but now I can not get the sources/
references to them and I have searched a whole lot
~
One of them is a boy who was apparently left to the forest (as it was
common and the morally acceptable practice in those times) as a new-
born baby and was apparently raised by other mammals. The animal boy
grew up and was caught stealing food, hunted down by villagers and
forcibly transferred to a foreign environment/enrolled in a boarding
school (without even knowing language), where he expectedly died. If I
remember well, that happened in France
~
Another case was about an uneducated and abusive father married to a
blind mother who, thinking his daughter was retarded and apparently
"trying to protect her from society" constrained her to a room where
she grew up until suspecting neighbors alerted the police. The girl,
who grew up without social interaction beyond her immediate family
(she was even fed prison style), was severely incapacitated. I think
that happened somewhere in California
~
Could you help me find the sources about these cases?
~
Do you know of any other cases of humans growing up under extremely
deprived social conditions?
~
Thanks
