DescriptionHigh-grade Moral Imbecile F.jpg |
English: Case F. — R. B. Boy ; aged 19 years when photograph was taken.
Tall, slight, dark, choreic and languid. With manners deferential and cringing toward superiors, he was habitually domineering and disagreeable to all others. Perfectly conversant with the proprieties of life, he was yet addicted to many filthy habits, and would even spit in boys' plates at the table. Would refuse food, but at the same time would steal fruit or meat from the dish. With an abundance of fine clothing and supplied with every toilet luxury, he yet loved to crawl away in dark corners, even into coal-bins, to lie in dirt and filth. At school learned to read, write, and cipher, and was greatly bene- fited by the military drill which he cordially disliked. Was disobedi- ent, willful, and insolent. Had a violent temper and once made a homicidal attack with a scythe on a man. On one occasion was found bombarding with rocks a house, in which he had securely confined a female attendant. The father, a member of the wealthier class, was willing to expend any amount for his comfort and improvement, and his step-mother, who lavished much affection upon the boy, was repaid only by abuse. Removed in his twenty-first year, and found intolerable at home, hewas placed in the convalescent wards of an insane hospital. |
