Five years later, Jimmy, was given by Roger freedom to come and go as he entered into the house. Jimmy often came to see Anne, because she thought she was 71 years old his mother.

"There is no doubt that Jimmy saw Anne as a mother. This is not surprising since Anne frequent feeding bottle to Jimmy, five to six times a day when he was a baby," David said, as quoted by the Daily Mail, Thursday (12/06/2012) .

"He likes to come into the lounge and socialize with other families, when he feels ignored, he was so angry. He also has a few friends, the dogs, two cows, and buffalo," said the 40-year-old man.
