Touching Stories Of Nigerian Boy, 4 Others, Raised By Animals

Sometimes human children become isolated from the appropriate human contact and care. Such children usually lack even basic social behaviour and can hardly speak or walk on two feet. Some of them after needed care of doctors can return to normal social life, but the vast of them will never recover.

1. Monkey boy of Uganda

                          John Ssebunya

John Ssebunya was born in 1984. He ran away to the forest when he was nearly three years old. Probably it happened because he watched his father shoot his mother. Soon after, his father hanged himself. While he was in jungle, John was cared for at least to some extent by green African (vervet) monkeys. In a year John has been found. He looked more like a gorilla than a boy. He couldn’t talk or cry. Boy walked on his knees and knuckles. But with the help of his new foster family John learned to speak and behave properly. John was the subject of the BBC documentary Living Proof, screened in October 1999. Now he is a fully grown up man. He has his own house and hopes of marrying a beautiful wife so that he can finally create his own family.

In 2007 a strange girl was emerged from the jungle in Cambodia. Lately the family of a village policemen claimed her to be their lost daughter who disappeared in the jungle in 1988. But we don’t know it for sure because there were no DNA tests held. Now she lives in that village with her family. She doesn’t speak, but learned how to eat and dress. Several times she tried to run away to the jungle again, but was returned back.

In 2009 a 5-year-old girl was found in the Russian city of Chita. She was barking and all covered in dirt. It turned out that her parents and grandparents neglected her. All her life she was locked in a flat with only dogs and cats as a company. She even tried to eat and drink as a dog or cat. She walked on her four and played like a puppy. Now the poor girl is under observations in a medical rehabilitation center. Doctors have hopes that she will adapt to the human world.

4. Dog girl from Ukraine
                      Oxana Malaya
                                                 Oxana Malaya

The most scary fact about the next kid, Oxana Malaya, is that she wasn’t separated from people during all her life. She was born in a small village in 1983. In an early age she was neglected by her alcoholic parents. She spent the vast of her time with dogs who lived in the yard. They cared for her and when in 1991 doctors saw Oxana she can’t speak and growled, barked, walked on all fours and crouched like a wild dog, sniffed at her food before she ate it. They only two words she knew were “yes” and “no”. Now girl is 30, she lives in a home for the mentally handicapped. She underwent years of specialized therapy and education to address her behavioral, social and educational issues. She was taught to speak fluently, and many of her behavioral problems were remedied. She helps to take care of animals and says that she is happiest when among dogs.
