Either way a 4 year old boy lived in the jungle, and could not have without the monkeys helping him. Any 4 year old kid couldn't survive in the jungle alone.

Yeah right i have read studies on this and he really just followed the monkey's around and lived off the food they dropped or that he stole from peoples fields himself. the monkey's tollerated him and that was it he is covered in scars. I sincerely doubt they were defending him and simply attacking and intruder in their territory especially if they came across him during the breeding season. Also the article doesn't state that he had some form of mental problems before the incident and that was more
.... More
than likely one of the reasons he fled to the jungle in fear of his father and instead of getting help stayed there. Once back he was an outcast monkeys are pests and considered vermin one of the worst insults is "you are the son of a monkey" naturally the fact that he was living with them would cause others of his village to consider him vermin as well. It was lucky the charity took him in or he might have been driven from his old village either because of the scorn he faced or because of outright attacks.

He maybe a great candidate to sing the songs on Disney movies, commercials, or other videos. It is a hard thing to tackle a job in the entertainment industry but also may try one of those TV shows like dancing with the stars. Welcome, to the world of singing. Alto, monotone, or what is your vocal and besides singing, are speaking engagements in your future to inform the people of the world of people like this.
