Yes - you read that right. This child can't talk - she barks! Even though she understands Russian, she cannot speak or eat or walk like a human because she was kept caged with the dogs and cats who apparently saw to her needs. She barks, laps food from a dish, understands being spoken to, but apparently is unable to speak back in return. All while her grandparents and father looked on. http://news.aol.com/article/girl-raised-by-dogs/500473?icid=main|main|dl1|link6|http://news.aol.com/article/girl-raised-by-dogs/500473 And her other grandparents thought her MOTHER wasn't caring for her???? Didn't they even care to check on her, to visit her or anything?? Apparently, no one on either side gave a damn about her. I hope every single one of them is locked away and treated in a like manner!!! What do you think is an appropriate punishment for these less than human creatures?? Even the dogs were more humane than they were!!

I learned this news from TV yesterday. It is hard to believe. I really don't understand what's wrong with her family. What's wrong with his dad? Although he divorced with his wife, but it doesn't mean that he has to treat their own child so badly. The news said this father took away this child from his wife. Perhaps this father will be sentenced to put in the jail for three years. I think it's too short and not enough for him. I don't understand why there can be a parent like that. He is just so sick. I love China

My heart goes out to her, and I hope they throw the book at the lot of them, for doing that to her!! SHAME ON THEM ALL!!!!![i][/i][u][/u]

Cool experiment! They should try to have their next child raised by frogs and see if the child will make ribbit noises.

I hope they arrest the father and grandparents for child abuse and neglect! I can't believe people can do something like this, see it happen and just ignore it! It is apalling and digusting! This people are truly sick in the head and should be shot for what then did to this girl! It will take years to reprogram this girl and she may never normal! I feel sorry for her not her relatives!

That is absolutely horrid. It makes me so mad to hear of any child being treated unfairly. That child may never be able to live a nirmal life and feel love and trust. They need to have the exact thing done to them. Only with no dogs there to show they care because they don't even have the compassion to be treated as such.

This is actually quite a common occurance. You hear about feral children all the time. There are several studies done on several children, especially from several years ago about feral children. They're quite fascinating, although disturbing, it's interesting to see that the place you are raised and the people you are raised with, really make you the person that you are. The family that just sat by and watched it happen, well they need to be tried and jailed for child abuse. No excuses, they neglected her.

There have been so many accounts of feral children. This story though is pretty sad because I know that many parents just don't care. They are beyond lazy and I'm none what so surprised that those people did that.

I cannot believe any family could do that to a child! That child will be scared for life. I wonder how they found out that she was being neglected. I hope that she will be able to act like a normal kid when she gets older. I want everyone in that family locked up for what they did to this poor girl!

Yikes I hope that poor girl can be "retrained" to act "human" again. What kind of sick parents and family members did she have anyway? I'm glad they managed to find her though and take her away from her family. And you're right...the family should be caged but not with dogs or cats---how about hungry tigers???

I am so disgusted and horrified that I cannot enter into a discussion. This is so awful.

ANYONE who knew about this and allowed it to continue should be placed in a dog kennel at the humane society for a large amount of time... the amount of time goes up the closer they were to the situation.

Omg, poor child.. I can't imagine how her family could do this. It's really inhumane. Charges should be filed for those who are accountable. I just pity for the child, how will she overcome this?

I cannot imagine someone doing this to a child. This is an unreachable idea in my head. I think all of these people should be locked away and left to rot in their own filfth.

there is not a punishment that would suit what they did to this child. Lets hope that now that it has been found out that they can do something to fix the problem. That is very sad.
