YN, 8, found being raised by DOGS in squalid conditions and can only communicate by barking
The eight-year-old YN was completely starved of human interaction in Northern Thailand after being neglected by his 46-year-old drug addict mother and brother



Police have discovered an eight-year-old YN living among a pack of wild dogs in a filthy hut in a horrific case of child neglect in Thailand.

The youngster N is unable to speak and can only bark to communicate after his drug-using family left the dogs to care for him in Northern Thailand.

The YN was discovered during a raid on the run-down property earlier this week, where they discovered he had been living with his mother and 23-year-old brother - both of whom tested positive for drugs.

The school had raised concerns with child rights activist Paveena Hongsakul. The campaigner escalated the case to the local police.

Paveena explained that the YN "didn't speak, he just barked" "It was pitiful to see," she added.

While the YN had never really attended school in a proper sense - his mother had taken him in on one occasion to collect a government support grant that was meant to be spent on his education.

Speaking to Khaosod English, Paveena said: “His mother hasn’t allowed him to go to school since he received a subsidy for free education.

"After getting the money, she simply kept the YN at home."

Locals reported seeing the mother begging for change and food in the local area, with families nearby banning their children from interacting with the YN due to his mother's behaviour.

Without any humans to interact, he turned to the dogs for socialisation and ended up mimicking their behaviour.

Thailand's Education Ministry and Lap Lae police officers conducted the joint operation on June 30, which saw the adults charged with drug consumption after failing urine tests. The YN was taken into the care of a local children's home. However,

She said: “The YN will be given a chance at a good life. We’ll follow up with him to make sure he gets everything a YN needs."

I've heard of all bark and no bite before, but this is ridiculous.
