Research Topic-Feral Children
Research Question-Is there hope for them after they are found, and should we be doing more for them.

I am choosing to write about feral children because I think they deserve a shot at a normal life. I do not think they are safe out in the wild on their own. Children aren't meant to be out there like that, otherwise everyone would be. They are not animals, so they shouldn't have to live and be treated like animals. This topic is important because there are thousands of cases of feral children across the world, and there doesn't seem to be much going on to help them. They are not put on the news, or brought to peoples' attentions, so a lot of people don't even know that a kid out there needs their help.

I plan on addressing my audience with this topic by throwing stats at them, and going in to detail about some of the more serious cases I have learned about. I want the readers to get a feel for what is going on to these children, even after they are saved. I plan to use emotional tactics to have the audience feel sorry for these kids, and hopefully try to find ways to help them. This topic is important to me because I am a very pro life person. And I believe pro life doesn't just have to do with abortions. Kids should not be thrown into the wild and left to fend for themselves, just because the parents are unable to help them. There are shelters and other places to leave the children. I have been doing large amounts of research on this topic, for a few weeks now. I believe I know enough about the topic to explain it to other people and try to get my point across that these children need help and deserve a better shot at life.
