Boy Forced to Live in Forest with Father for 5 Years Found in Germany

Sounds like a great adventure to me. Hopefully society does not ruin him now. He has a chance to use these unique experiences to shed a different light on the world. As long as the people that take him in don't tell him his whole life is a shame, and he did not deserve this, he may turn out fine.

At those saying this is abuse. Sorry, but this is real life. If you want abuse, look no further than these parents that send their kids to school, give them all the essentials and more whether the kid has been deserving or not. These same parents that loose touch with their over pampered train wrecks, yet they continue to fuel the fire by giving the child more and more ammunition. They by them a car, pay for all their gas, dates, insurance, and in some cases schooling. In the end the parents are ready to move on with their own lives, they kept a kid alive tell they were 18 or a college graduate that was the mission right. Hold on though, they forgot one thing. You need more social skills than hanging with friends, and facebooking to make it in the real world.

This may just be a problem right here in western WA, USA, and I hope that's the case, but something has to be done. These 20 year old young adults, still act like 9 year old brats. They can't keep a job, they slack off and think adults are supposed to give them whatever they want. I constantly here this BS about how they should continue to have the world handed to them till at least 30 or 35, and then they should get a job and start a family.

That is child abuse right there in my eyes. Not this story presented in the OP.
