I'm not offended by "feral."
I'm not sure it's accurate, though. Though they grew up outside civilization, they weren't raised in the wild; they were confined.
James, I do appreciate your attempt to make what is essentially a Broadsheet roundup into a single narrative, but I don't think it actually worked this time. These are all very different stories and not all of them involve mothers. And some of them actually deserve a post of their own. A follow-up about the polygamist ranch now that we know the mothers I stupidly felt sorry for last week were actually coaching their multiply-fractured, sexually abused kids not to talk to authorities would be a great idea. And I know all that just from looking at AP wire headlines, so someone who actually looked into it further could really go to town.
