How do you know the boy had any previous life, previous friends, previous anything? They may have been regularly on the move prior to this, or maybe the boy was extremely introverted and kept to himself. Or maybe they lived in farm country and he would have had to travel a mile down the road just to get to the next neighbors, who just so happened to be childless.

And you don't HAVE to attend a proper school, if you can be legally homeschooled. Granted, this boy probably wasn't LEGALLY homeschooled, but that doesn't mean his father didn't still educate him.

You people are jumping to so many conclusions here.

 

I like to think that the boy's father was a former CIA agent who had retired after completing a huge mission and bringing in a major crimelord. However, said crimelord escaped from prison a year later and swore revenge against the agent, so the CIA had him and his family moved to Germany under witness protection. They lived there for a couple years before they were finally hunted down again, and the mother was murdered, though her murder was staged to look like a traffic accident. The accident was supposed to kill all three of them, but the father and son managed to escape with only minor injuries as their car and the mother burned until it was impossible to recognize anything among the wreckage. The father had no choice but to flee into the wilderness with their son, to disappear entirely.

Homeschooling is illlegal in most of Europe (including Germany). There's also a huge difference between being introverted and being isolated from society.

I also find your last paragraph unlikely, but it would make for a pretty interesting movie.
