Feral Children: The Extreme Cases Of Feral Children

The Development of Feral Children
This paper will discuss the extreme cases of feral children. Feral children known as wild child, are children who has lived in an isolated environment from human contact from a very young age. This leaves the child vulnerable with little or no experience with the basic needs to socialize or survive in society.
