 The only New York newspaper that picked this up (I think) was the Post. I was tempted to forward it at the time.

 I was looking for any details about the whereabouts of the adoptive mother - was "she" concerned when her new foundling was so rudely taken from her? Why was the den otherwise empty?

 And no mention of sibling (ursine) rivalry either.

Too much left out of these tantalizing stories.

 I think there is a chapter on Feral Children in Bettelheim's book on Autism (The Empty Fortress), and it explores the origins of this kind of "event".
