A teenage boy, who recently came to the City Hall of Berlin and said that he had been living in a forest since five years, has more claimers that one would’ve thought. He arrived at the city hall and told the authorities t hat he and his father had lived in the forest since five years, when they had had a car crash, and his mother, Doreen had died. The boy did not remember where he was from or anything about his origin.

He doesn’t remember anything about his past, and this is one of the main difficulties that the police are facing in tracking down where he is from. There have been claims made by several people that he is a relative and many were ruled out. One particular Swiss couple though, might be true when they say that they are the grandparents of the boy. The DNA report for the same is awaited.

“He can’t even tell us whether he remembers using a train, boat or plane to get to Germany so it’s very difficult to know where he came from”, said Ms. Claudia Elitok, spokesperson for the police.

He is commonly referred to as the ‘forest boy’ for the present, and it’s a matter of time before his origin is found.
