Meet the Grunt Family
http://www.news24.com/News24/South_Africa/News/0,6119,2-7-1442_1485204,00.html

Theunissen - Cut off from the rest of the world, with only veld and animals for company, a husband and wife and their four children have spent the past 20 years all alone on a remote Free State farm.

The four children - aged 26, 22, 18 and 14 - have never had contact with the outside world and their behaviour is so animalistic they can't even communicate in an understandable language. One of them walks on all fours, almost like a monkey.

1. That sort of sounds like "Nell"...
The Jodie Foster film.

Interesting story.
