Russian police are hunting a “werewolf boy” - who snarls and bites - after he escaped from a Moscow clinic just a day after being rescued from the wild.
Doctors expressed shock saying he was found living with a pack of wolves in a remote forest in the Kaluga region of central Russia.

The ‘werewolf boy’ has escaped from a Moscow clinic just a day after he was found. It is thought he was raised by wolves and his toenails are like claws
“He’s clearly dangerous to other people,” said a police spokesman yesterday.
“He’s got typical wolf-like habits and behaviour.
“He has very strong and sharp teeth, which could really endanger someone if he bites.”
The boy looks about ten - but after tests conducted by Moscow medics, they believe he maybe much older.
They are puzzled because he appears intelligent but does not seem to speak Russian or any other language. It is suspected he has been running wild for many years.
Such cases are not uncommon in Russia where there have been regular reports of ‘Mowgli’ children abandoned by their parents who are cared for by animals.
The boy moves around with his legs half bent, said Tvoi Den newspaper. “He was running with wolves and searching for food with them.”
Villagers found this “wild creature” in a lair made of leaves and sticks in freezing temperatures and told the police who named him Lyokha, though his real identity is not known.

“He’s dirty, hungry, and looked to have had a hard time,” said the police spokesman. “We brought him to a clinic in Moscow.
“It was simply unbelievable. He doesn’t react when we call to him.” Medics gave him clothes and said that he sprang down the corridor, bursting into his room and devouring his food like an animal.
His nails on his feet were like claws.
After 24 hours he had evaded security men at the clinic and escaped. He is now believed to be on the loose in Moscow region.
“We didn’t even manage to complete the proper medical checks. We only succeeded in giving him a shower, cutting his nails and took some blood and other tests,” said a doctor.
“It’s quite possible he is a dangerous with psychological problems but also a source of viruses and infections.”

Well…certainly this raises interesting and difficult ethical questions. I think it would be cruel, and an injustice to this young man to separate him from canids all together. If indeed he has been living with wolves, and having studied wolves for years it is not all together impossible that this occurred, then he should be gently re-acclimated to human life, not thrust into a foreign and paranoid world where he will no doubt suffer from our peculiarities as rather mean and petty animals. Perhaps he would be better off, when all is said and done, staying with the wolves……. At any rate, no one should presume immediately that it is best for him to be forced to change, thus suffering the fate of many “feral” children who lived short and miserable lives after being reintroduced to the human world against their will, essentially living as slaves to absurd moral and religious practices, unfortunately, suppositions that many humans believe above their own welfare.

Wow!! This is great stuff. This person should be returned to his peeps. Leave him alone! His world is probably 200% better than ours. He probably should go back to the wild, with his family.
