Feral Child






  A feral, or wild child is one isolated from human contact from a very young age with little, or no experience of human care, loving or social behavior and, indicatively, no language.



  Legendary fictional feral children have normal intelligence, skills and an innate sense of culture or civilization, with a good sense of survival instincts. Integration into society seems easy.



  These mythical figures have superior strength, intelligence and morals compared to  'normal'  humen. From their perspective, upbringing arrives at a pure, uncorrupted state, the concept, the 'noble savage'.



  In reality, feral children lack social skills, a normal process in enculturation. They might have trouble learning to use a toilet, to walk upright or display a complete lack of interest in activity around them. They often seem mentally impaired and almost, always have trouble learning a language.



  Street children exist in major cities, and developing countries. They may be subject to abuse, neglect, exploitation and, in extreme cases, murdered by clean-up squads hired by police or local businessmen.



   Children may end up on the streets for several reasons. They may have no choice, abandoned, orphaned or disowned by their parents. They may choose to live on the streets because of mistreatment or neglect, their homes do not provide them fulfillment of basic needs. Many children work in the streets because their families need income. Because homes and families are part of a larger society, underlying reasons for poverty and breakdown of homes may be social, economic, political, environmental or any combination of these.
