Has anyone here been raised by animals in the wilderness?
Marina Chapman learnt to catch birds and rabbits with her bare hands after being abandoned in the jungle by kidnappers, it was reported.
The Tarzan-like episode was brought to an end when she was discovered by hunters but by her ordeal continued when she was sold to a brothel in the city of Cucuta, and groomed for prostitution.
She escaped and spent years on the streets, sometimes being arrested and kept in a cell, but was eventually taken in by a Colombian family to work as a maid in her mid-teens, and took the name of Marina Luz, according to the account given to a newspaper.
Later during her mid-twenties she travelled with a neighbouring family who went to stay in Bradford on business for six months - and stayed after she met John Chapman, then a 29-year-old bacteriologist, at a church meeting. They married in 1977.
She and her family have now decided to tell her story to help highlight the horrors of human trafficking in South America.

I come from Peru , Peru.
Probably not dissimilar to being raised in Yorkshire at that time anyway.
and when she went home to Leeds she was rejected by the family for being Posh
why wouldn`t it be?
It could be, I didn't say it wasn't. Everything is possible. Just doesn't sound it to me.
I shouldn't laugh but
