Nature vs Nurture

British child psychologist Lyn Fry, an expert on feral children, has travelled to Ukraine to meet a girl brought up by dogs.

23-year-old Oxana Malaya from a village in Ukraine is a feral child, one of only about 100 known in the world. When she was three, her alcoholic parents left her outside one night and she crawled into a hovel where they kept dogs. No one came to look for her or even seemed to notice she was gone, so she stayed where there was warmth and food.
