Now, this is an odd web-site:
http://www.feralchildren.com/en/index.php
Feral children, also known as wild children or wolf children, are children who've grown up with minimal human contact, or even none at all. They may have been raised by animals (often wolves) or somehow survived on their own. In some cases, children are confined and denied normal social interaction with other people.
Authenticity
Many cases of feral children are of doubtful authenticity; even recent ones, such as John Ssebunnya, are questioned by some. And at least a few of the children were autistic and/or mentally disabled, and not feral at all.
Warning: Neglect and Abuse
No matter how fascinating, scientifically interesting or even romantic some of these stories seem, it isn't much fun to be a feral child, wolf boy or wild girl.
