Monkey Boy

I heard a story about a boy, who plays football in the special olympics, who was rared by monkeys in Uganda and I decided to search the internet for him. You probably already read about him but for those who haven't, here is his story. http://home.eircom.net/content/unison/national/912537?view=Eircomnet&check=yes

I heard that story on radio as I was drifting in and out of sleep,
thought I was dreaming it all!

Rough enough upbringing without having to contend with being based in Roscommon,

He was also, however, a child covered with sores, scabs and his teeth were brown and broken.

He walked like a monkey, couldn't talk and threw his food around.

No disrespect to the kid , but whoever arranged accomadation for him couldn't have picked a more suitable place in Ireland , they must have treated him as one of their very own !!
