Weird. This girl was rescued by creatures only slightly less ferocious than humans.

"They stood guard until we found her and then they just left her like a gift and went back into the forest,"
Very cool :p
It's only slightly unbelievable.

A 14-year-old girl in the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh has won a battle to have her two-year marriage to a teenage boy annulled.
It is thought the first time in the state's history a child bride has successfully fought the centuries-old tradition of marrying girls off young.
Village elders agreed to grant Chenigall Suseela, who had threatened to commit suicide, the annulment.
Suseela said that she wanted to go back to school.
Her parents admitted they should not have married her off without her consent.

There is another one today where a 73 year old guy in kenya was attacked by a leopard and he reached in its mouth and pulled out its tongue to kill it
