Rochom P'ngieng, dubbed "jungle woman" when she emerged in Feb 2007, has still has not learnt to speak and refuses to wear clothes.
Her father said she had been admitted to hospital after refusing to eat for a month and had made several attempts to return to the forest...

If she wants to go back into the jungle to live like an animal, they should let her. Where’s the harm?
In 2004, four hill tribe families emerged from the dense forest where they had fled in 1979 after the fall of the genocidal Khmer Rouge regime, which they supported.
I agree. They tried to “bring her into our world” but the reality is...she is just too wild or should I say “feral”. Years ago, I took in a feral cat. He has calmed down a little, but not by much. I give him shots, water and food. He sleeps under my house. In order to take him to the Vet. I have to catch him with leather work gloves and he fights me something awful. I will always keep him however, because the animal shelter would put him down. He choose to stay with me, and I don’t mind him. This woman is like that cat. All I can say is give her the shots (measles, mumps, typhus, ect, ect,) she needs to survive the jungle, and let her loose.
You’re right. If a human child goes feral and stays that way for long enough, there is no going back.
This woman cannot become civilized. The neural connections haven’t been formed for her and now it’s way too late. No matter what, she could never learn to speak again or lose several of the traits that were necessary for her survival in the wild.
she does not look like the Jungle Woman of G.L.O.W.:
