The most famous of the feral Indian children claims is the sorry tale of
Amala and Kamala, the alleged wolf-children, almost certainly a hoax from
start to finish. Ogburn and Bose provided an early expose of this story
in their investigation. "On the trail of the wolf-children", Genetic
Psychology Monographs, 1959 Aug;60:117-93. Didn't do any good.
But in timely fashion a new story of a Russian girl barking like a dog
has just popped up ("Russian police find feral girl in Siberia", LA
Times, May 28/09 at http://tinyurl.com/ll28dj

Sounds like another Amala-Kamala case to me. I join Beth in her
suspicion, LA Times notwithstanding.
