His mother, a drug addict, reportedly left       him alone for hours each day in a dilapidated       wooden house while she roamed the neighbourhood       begging for food.              With no friends, no adult supervision, and only       the dogs for company, the boy began mimicking       their behaviour — communicating by barking       instead of speaking.              “He didn’t speak, he just barked,” said Pawina       Hongsakul, head of the Pawina Hongsakul Foundation       for Children and Women, which led the rescue       operation on June 30.       ...              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
