One of the topics in this course is called feral children. According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feral_child, a feral child can be defined as a human child who has lived isolated from human contact from a very young age, and has no experience of human care, loving or social behaviour and crucially of human language.
Some feral children have been confined by people (usually by their own parents) where in some cases, this child abandonment was due to the parents’ rejection of a child’s severe intellectual or physical impairment. Feral children may have experienced severe child abuse or trauma before being abandoned or running away. Feral children are sometimes the subjects of folklore and legends, typically portrayed as having been raised by animals.

In this course,students have learned about feral children cases for example like the cases of Genie and Victor and some other unfortunate feral children cases.
To understand this topic clearly, showing videos or documentaries about the feral children will give more clearer picture to students about these unique cases. Here are some of the videos which can help students to understand this topic better:
