Danielle, The Feral Child Of Florida
RedLion:
Terrible story, with a hopeful ending, but it re-emphasizes, to me at least, that humans are animals. I mean, without outside influence, that's our "natural" state; that is, it's what we develop into without being taught or cared for by another member of our race.

The tears came when I got to the part about William, the older brother.
Incredible.

I had just assumed her current behavior is related to PTSD, paired with possibly inherited retardation. She definitely has the thousand-yard stare.

Man ok yeah. So that is an awful story, but also a really fucking awful piece of glurge journalism.
WriterofAllWrongs:
This didn't really move me particularly. It's full of impressive characters and all, but all the stories about how these people who overcome ALL OBSTACLES are a bit boring. Many people are in terrible situations everyday and they don't overcome all obstacles. Where's their stories? I mean, the fact of the matter is that these are just stories that highlight the luckiest of the suffering, and that's all just a bit of media drivel. This doesn't even touch on any bigger matter. It's just the story of a severely neglected kid being picked up by some cool people who are better off. No real message other than, "See! We're not completely fucked! People are still nice! People still care!", and while that's not entirely untrue, I could watch 1 in 10 television programs right now and see the exact same message. It's just kind of a lame article.
