And Itard followed through on his intentions, "supplying him abundantly with foods to his taste, respecting his indolence ["giving him space"], and by accompanying him whenever possible for walks, or rather scampers, no matter what the weather was" (1962, p.
If Itard’s general orientation seems to reflect a fundamentally Child and Youth Care Worker approach, it seems evident from his reports that his "collage of skills" looks a lot like those found in many of the foundation texts in child and youth care.
There are other examples of Itard’s "failures" in his reports, but his biggest one he never really discusses—his failure to develop Victor’s relationships with peers.

In 1799, Itard was a 25-year-old physician in Paris when an 11- or 12-year-old boy emerged from the woods near the French town of Aveyron.
After five years, however, Itard considered his work a failure; although Victor could recognize some words in print and had acquired many of the behaviors of "civilization," his only words were lait and oh Dieu (French for "milk" and "oh God").
With great disappointment, Itard abandoned his work with Victor, who was cared for by the wife of a groundskeeper at the school for deaf children until his death at around the age of 40.

But a little-known young doctor, Jean-Marc-Gaspard Itard, was convinced that he could teach the boy, whom he named Victor, to feel, think, and speak.
There his alleged obliviousness to anything but food and nature cause doctors to label him an idiot, and he languishes, ignored, until a young doctor, Jean-Marc Itard, takes the boy into his care.
As a novel, however, it is ultimately unsatisfying because Gerstein jumps ahead in time from the close of Itard's six-year study of Victor to a penultimate scene just before the subject's untimely death at age 40.

The more accepted interpretation of "foutu cochon", and the truer colloquial meaning is "fucking pig." In 1884 the Parisian obituary of the 85 year-old Marquis de Dampierre aptly reported her infamous cursing.
In 1825 French physician Jean Marc Gaspard Itard originally reported the odd behavior of this 26-year old aristocratic young lady in a medical article.
Even before her syndrome had a medical name, this cursing and ticcing French noblewoman marked the disconnect between actions and control.
