There are a number of speculations and definitions of the “Feral Child<\/a>” or also known as the “Wild Child.” Generally, a “Feral Child<\/a>” is a human child who has lived isolated from human contact from a very young age, and so has had little or no experience of human care, behaviour or human language.
