  • For completeness, this is the beginning of the article:

    > A feral child (also called wild child) is a young individual who has lived isolated from human contact from a very young age, with little or no experience of human care, social behavior, or language. Such children lack the basics of primary and secondary socialization. The term is used to refer to children who have suffered severe abuse or trauma before being abandoned or running away.

    My impression was that it could be written as, "The term is _also_ used to refer to ...", but I'm not sure.
