By Morgan Pantuck April 22, 2016 Chicago Aauthorities were shocked earlier this week by the discovery of a feral child in Chicago, Illinois whom they believe to have been raised by an improv comedy troupe. The child, who has no definitive name or age but responds to \u201cFlim Flam,\u201d \u201cSamantha,\u201d and \u201cOld Leroy,\u201d suffers from severe physical and psychological problems as a result of his unusual upbringing. \u201cWe were passing by Second City and found him covered in dirt and curled up in a ball murmuring \u2018yes and\u2019 over and over again,\u201d explains Kevin Yang, who helped discover the child. \u201cWe tried to rescue him ourselves, but he started shrieking and applauding vigorously when we got too close. That\u2019s when we called the cops.\u201d When interrogated by police, the child originally told officers that he was from a small town called \u201cBorpville\u201d where he works as a candlestick maker with his apprentice, Ronny, who is blind. The child tried to show officers some of his candles, but his hands were empty. The Chicago Police Department has since confirmed that Borpville is not a real city. Strange as it may seem, there are indeed several confirmed cases of abandoned children from around the world who have been raised by everything from wolves to chimpanzees. \u201cThe troupe must\u2019ve have found him while they were rooting around in the trash for costumes or props,\u201d commented Pete Hinsey, CPD superintendent. \u201cImprovisers are remarkably friendly. This isn\u2019t the first time we\u2019ve seen them interacting with humans.\u201d According to Hinsey, the boy displays a mixture of comic and human behavior. \u201cHe mostly walks upright, but hates taking showers,\u201d the superintendent explains. \u201cHe also gets confused sometimes when he tries to eat real pasta with an imaginary fork.\u201d Despite the boy\u2019s impressive survival thus far, his future remains uncertain. \u201cHe\u2019ll likely never fully adjust to normal society,\u201d explains child psychologist Dr. Theresa Oswalt. \u201cHe does appears to have learned some basic English, but we\u2019re not sure if he actually understands what he says. For example, we thought he might be slightly deaf for a while, but it turns out he just yells \u2018I can\u2019t hear you!\u2019 at random intervals, no matter what you say to him.\u201d \u201cThe real challenge will be to stop him from making fart noises and miming,\u201d Oswalt added.
