Many people have come to realize just how resourceful young children can be, often in surprising ways, as demonstrated in southwestern France.
This remarkable story took place in an apartment in Nersac, where a 9-year-old French boy was abandoned by his mother. Despite being left alone, he refused to give up.
For two years, the boy lived by himself in the apartment. There were times when he had to cope without electricity or heat, but he did what he could to keep his life going, including attending school on his own.
Between the ages of 9 and 11, the boy lived entirely on his own, with no one noticing his situation, not even at school. The school reported that he was a good student during this time.
