Summary[edit]

Description
English: Case C. — W. J. F. Boy ; aged 1 1 years ; small for his age, epi-
leptic, untruthful, vulgar, profane, cruel and brutal ; an adroit thief. 
Heedless of danger and insensitive to pain, he climbed out of a third- 
story window and fell to the ground, striking his head, but was only 
slightly stunned. Knew alphabet, and could sing, dance, and pray; 
would repeat long Latin prayers, cross himself, and make vulgar 
remarks and swear, almost in the same breath. Absolutely devoid of the moral sense, it was impossible to teach him to obey or to keep 
him out of mischief. 

Fourth born, at full term and in ordinary labor; nourished by 
mother. Has 4 brothers and i sister living. Father a gas-fitter, was 
30 years of age, and mother 25, at birth of child. Mother's 2 sisters 
died of phthisis.
