tardation could not be completely
attributed TO his having lived
alone in the wilds. When he was
found, there was still a scrap of
torn shirt around his neck.
Blumenbaoh, investigating the
records of the case some eighty
years after it happened, was of
the opinion that Wild Peter was
the son of a widower, Kruger Of
Luchtringen, who had run away
into the woods in 1928, a year
before he was recovered in 1924.
A year later he had gone back
10 his home. But his father had
meanwhile REMARKED, so that
the poor dumb tongue-tied boy
was thrust out again by his new
stepmother
Blumenbach and others since
have scoffed at the thesis that
this abuse had anything TO do
with the backwardness of of Wild
Peter. Modern study Of the eff
fects Of abandonment lead us TO
think that this terrible neglect
of the poor boy which forced him
TO run wild in the woods like
an animal had something TO do
with his failure 10 develop into
normal human being
