Feral children

Isabel
 Isabel the ‘chicken girl ‘Isabel was found when she was ten years old in
Portugal. It seemed that since she was born, she had been left in the chicken
coop with the hens by her mother, who worked in the fields. Isabel could not
speak, was not toilet trained, and expressed emotion by beating her arms and
drumming her feet – probably imitating the behaviour of the hens. She was
physically malformed, probably due to malnutrition.

Kamala & Amala – wolf children

 These two girls were discovered living with wolves in India. It was assumed
that they must have been lost in the jungle or even snatched by the wolves as
babies. There was no evidence they were related – one was around eight
years old and one was only eighteen months old. Their behaviour was seen
to be ‘wolflike’ – they howled, walked on all fours and ate directly from a
bowl with their mouths, rather than using their hands.
Oxana Malaya
 This story was widely reported some years ago, but later evidence casts
doubt on its credibility. The original story was that Oxana had been left in
the kennel with the family dogs since she was very young. Footage of her in
a children’s home in the Ukraine was released, and she was barking and
running on all fours. Her parents were blamed for abuse. However, later
evidence suggests that actually some of this behaviour may have been
learned in the children’s home itself, where care was allegedly very poor. It
is also alleged that the dog-like behaviour seen had already been ‘unlearned’
by the time the famous footage was shot, and that Oxana was asked to put it
on for the cameras. Clearly some time in Oxana’s childhood was spent with
dogs, but the true sequence of events may never be known. Oxana can now
walk and talk normally.

C. Experiments
 Bruce and Brian Reimer were twin boys born in Canada. When he was
seven months old, Bruce’s penis was destroyed in a circumcision operation.
Over a year later, his parents saw psychologist Dr John Money on television
and contacted him for help. Dr Money argued that nurture is more important
than nature, and suggested that Bruce could be raised as a girl. He used this
 as an experiment to test his belief that gender identity is a product of nurture
rather than nature. The Reimers changed Bruce’s name to Brenda and
brought her up to be feminine, wearing dresses and playing with dolls. For a
time, Money’s experiment seemed to have worked, and he used this case to
argue that nurture was more important than nature. However, Brenda was so
unhappy at around the age of 13 that she attempted suicide. The Reimers
told her the truth, and Brenda decided to live again as a male and called
himself David. For a time, David was much happier and got married. He
claimed in interviews that he had always known something was not right.
Tragically, the experience took its toll and David eventually took his own
life.

Feral children are those who are raised with non to less socialization and that will
result into human not actually acting like humans as they were never actually
raised by them. Kids who are raised euther by wolfs they tend to act like wolfs.
They howled like wolfs and walked on all fours, they didn’t know how to eat from
a bowl. This is not just the case with
