Often dismissed as superstition or folklore, there are many documented cases of “feral children” growing up in the wild. One of the most famous cases is that of “Victor of Aveyron”, found in Aveyron in 1800. He had survived between six and eight years in the wild and was later looked after and studied/taught by Jean-Marc-Gaspard Itard. (http://bit.ly/2Nadgnh, http://bit.ly/2O7siGx)
