Elderly baby found wandering the streets .

Back in the 70's i always remember that news headline . A man in his 80's was found wandering the streets . Fully babied and in an overflowing nappy asking for his mummy and would someone change him . For those who will ask . dressed as a baby girl as far as i can remember . No one knew who he was . He lead them to a large house where two reclusive sisters stayed and found he bodies of both . One had been dead for months and her body was found in her bed . The other sister was found in the back garden dead of a heart attack . Both sisters had been in their mid 80's it was thought . A secret room was found to be a girls nursery where the man had been kept since he was 4 or 5 yrs old . The mother and sisters had been keeping him as a baby all that time until the mother died and left them the house and money as long as they kept their brother as their baby sister . I don't know the ins and outs why apart from all he male members of the family had been killed in wars and the mother was determined that her boy would be kept as a baby girl so could never be called up . This went well for them . The baby being kept in isolation as a secret brother . He had never been to school . Couldn't read or right . Just kept in his nursery with TV and radio and a VCR with children's vids . That is all i remember . But even after all the years i wonder how that poor babies mind worked . What he thought of day after day locked away their as a baby only ever getting out to the garden during the night . The only human contact he ever had were his sisters and mother . Then suddenly at his age being thrust into an alien world where he was seen as a freak . I can't see him having lived for any length of time in the real world . Maybe a few weeks at the most and maybe it was the best for him . I don't know . I just remembered about reading about him and wondering .

So i thought i would tell you what i remembered . I hope some of you will remember reading it as well ? Maybe some of you will know more about him and his family and could tell me and others reading this what happened . I think the newspaper was the Daily Express as i remember liking the Giles cartoons .
