A wild child (also called wild child ) is a human child who has lived isolated from human contact since a very young age, where they have little or no human-care experience , behavior, or, most importantly, human language. Some wild children are locked up by people (usually their own parents). Angry children may have experienced severe abuse or trauma before abandonment or escape. Wild children sometimes become subjects of folklore and legend, usually depicted as creatures raised by animals.

Description

Wild children do not have the basic social skills that are usually studied in the process of enculturation. For example, they may not be able to learn to use toilets, having difficulty learning to walk upright after walking all fours of their lives, or showing a complete lack of interest in human activities around them. They often look mentally handicapped and have difficulty learning human language that can barely be overcome. Impaired ability to learn natural language after being isolated for many years is often associated with a critical period for language learning, and is taken as evidence supporting the critical period hypothesis.

After the 2008 disclosure by Belgian newspaper Le Soir that Misha's bestseller: A MÃÆ'Â © moire of the Holocaust Year and the film Survivre avec les loups " Surviving the Wolves" ) is a media hoax, the French media debating credibility with which many cases of wild children have been received without hesitation. Although there are many books on these children, almost nothing is based on the archives; the author instead uses second or third most dubious printed information. According to French surgeon Serge Aroles, who wrote a general study of wild children based on the archives ( L'Enigme des Enfants-loups or Enigma Wolves, , 2007), many the alleged case is a completely fictional story:

• Teen Kronstadt (1781) - According to a Hungarian document published by Serge Aroles, this case is a hoax: boys, mentally disabled, have mumps and are on display for money.
• Victor of Aveyron (1797) - Described in the 1969 movie, The Wild Child ( L'Enfant sauvage ), by FranÃÆ'§ois Truffaut. Again, Serge Aroles gives evidence in this famous case which shows that Victor does not fit the description of the real wild child.
Gazelle Boy (1946) - A boy about 10 years old was reported to be found amid a herd of deer in the Syrian desert in the 1950s, and was only rescued with the help of an Iraqi army jeep, as he could run at speeds up to 50 km/hour. However, it is a hoax, as do other deer-child cases. Gazelle Boy (1960) - Found in Rio de Oro in the Spanish Sahara, written by Basque Jean-Claude Auger travelers, using Armenian pseudonyms in his 1971 book L'enfant sauvage du grand desert translated as Gazelle Boy . When Serge Aroles asked questions in this case in 1997, collecting testimony in Mauritania, Armen himself admitted that he had written "a book of fiction".
• Amala and Kamala - Claimed to have been discovered in 1920 by missionaries near Midnapore, the Calcutta region of India, later proved to be a hoax to get alms for Rev. orphanage. Singh. Scholars from Japan and France launched a new investigation on Amala and Kamala, and validated the findings and conclusions made by Serge Aroles 20 years earlier: the story is a hoax.
• Ramu, Lucknow, India, (1954) - A girl taken by a wolf as a baby, and raised in a forest until the age of seven. Aroles makes inquiries at the scene and classifies this as another trick.
• Krupina bear girl, Slovakia (1767) - Serge Aroles does not find any traces in the Krupina archives.

Popular legends, fictions and culture

Myths, legends, and fiction have depicted wild children raised by wild animals such as wolves, monkeys, monkeys, and bears. Notable examples include Romulus and Remus, Hayy Ibn Tufail, Ibn Al-Nafis' Kamil, Mowgli by Rudyard Kipling, Tarzan Edgar Rice Burroughs, George of the Jungle, and Atalanta and Enkidu legends.

The Roman legend says that Romulus and Remus, the twin sons of Rhea Silvia and Mars, were suckled by a female wolf. Rhea Silvia was a pastor, and when it was discovered that she was pregnant and had children, King Amulius, who had captured the throne of her brother, ordered her to be buried alive and the children were killed. The assigned waiter arranges them in a basket on the Tiber river instead, and the children are taken by Tiberinus, the river god, to the beach where the female wolves find them and raise them until they are found as toddlers by a shepherd named Faustulus. He and his wife Acca Larentia, who always wanted a child but never had one, raised the twins, who would later stand out in events leading to the founding of Rome (named after Romulus, who ultimately killed Remus in a dispute) whether the city should be established in Palatine Hill or Aventine Hill).

Legendary and fictitious children are often described as growing with normal human intelligence and cultural skills or a congenital sense of civilization, coupled with a healthy survival instinct. Their integration into human society made it seem relatively easy. One exception is Mowgli, who lives with humans proving very difficult.

Mythical children are often depicted as having superior strength, intelligence and morals compared to "normal" human beings, the implication being that because of their upbringing they represent humanity in a pure and undamaged state, an idea similar to that of a noble savage.

This subject is treated with a number of realizations in the 1970s film França§ois Truffaut L'Enfant Sauvage (English: The Wild Boy , USA: Wild Children ), in which the efforts of a scientist in an effort to rehabilitate a wild boy encounter great difficulties.
