Hello,

I'm only a pre med but do you mind if I have a bash at the question???

I think the term was mentioned in passing on my GCSE sociology class when we were covering feral children...

We did a case study on a 'feral' child called Genie. She was not the typical feral child as she was not brought up by animals this is why I have used the word feral loosly. From what I can remember her dad locked her in a dark room untill she was a teenager. She couldn't talk because nobody had talked to her, etc.

I found the link.

I'm not too sure what the proper definition of the mowgli's syndrome is but I think it is to do with extreme neglect affecting the development of people...

Perhaps someone else could give a more detailed answer???
