This section doesn't really belong, nor does being raised in confinement make them "feral". Furthermore, there are hundreds and hundreds of cases of this, I don't think an arbitrary list of them is useful. Prinsgezinde (talk) 21:33, 19 July 2023 (UTC)※

Ramu is/was the name of a (possibly non-existent) reported feral child. The reports are from an area around Lucknow, India. The way the links are set up, clicking the word "Lucknow" does take you to the XIV Article on Lucknow, India, but clicking the word "Ramu" takes you to a XIV article about a river in Papua New Guinea. Please look at a map and make your own conclusion as to whether Papua New Guinea is in India. I would like to request that XIV alter its interruptive intrusive banners that ask for donations so that some small plea is made for donations to be forwarded to readers like me (there are probably thousands of others) who spend more time writing about stuff that XIV gets wrong than we do reading stuff that XIV gets right.2600:1700:6759:B000:E894:BFCC:705D:880 (talk) 08:35, 8 July 2024 (UTC)Fund For Christopher Lawrence Simpson※
