A seven-year-old boy has been found living with
a family of pigs in China and unable to
communicate with human beings.
According to ICrossChina, a 7-year old boy named
Liu Hongbo was found by social workers living
with pigs in filth. He was discovered at his family
home in Fangyu City, in central China’s Henan
Province. He was reportedly in a bad shape, he
had dirts all over him with several cuts and
bruises all over his body.
Investigations revealed his parents abandoned
him and three other children who are reportedly
dead. A fourth one is in the custody of a relative.
The boy was given an audience when his pictures
surfaced on the social media. It was later
revealed he was frequently maltreated by his
mother who physically assaulted him so often.
One of the sources said: “When somebody goes
round sometimes to tell her to stop, she just
smiles as if nothing has happened. She’s always
beating him and throwing him around the house.”
When he was found, he was sleeping outside on a
pile of clothes in an empty pigpen and “smelt like
a pig” but the social workers, from a nearby
children’s home, were unable to take him away
as they need permission from city officials before
being able to intervene.
The boy is currently living with his aunt and
professionals believe he would soon learn how to
communicate with humans after due exposure.
