Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

These are all examples of feral children who were neglected, abused, and forgotten about. There parents completely locked them up and didn't let them out to see the world. They were never exposed to other people's voices or the outside world for a majority of their childhood. This caused them to never learn language, and they never achieved knowledge higher than that of a child.

As far as I know the question is from "general Sociology", written by Sally Goddard where she presented the example of three socially isolated girls, Anna, Isabella and Genie. All of these girls had a bad childhood and stories.

In light of the above facts the statement can be categorized as "False".
