She was tending cows and somehow ended up in the jungle. She lived there for 18 years until she was captured basically, and returned to her family. She is having trouble adjusting to being human. I think they should just let her go. She isn't skinny and looks at though she survived well in the jungle. It says in the article that she was skinny, but her face is nice and round. She doesn't look starved to me. It is her home, let her go!

It's a hard decision. If it was your child and you found him/her after 18 years, you'd be conflicted between the joy of finding your child again and trying to decide what is best for him/her.

Villagers from the Phnong ethnic hilltribe minority believe the girl is still possessed by evil spirits of the forest.

Thats really strange.. I don't know what I would do, but that is sad.. I wonder how she survived.. and I guess she can't talk cause she forgot how to? How creepy. :o

Apparently they're now looking for someone who may have kept her there.
