IMO they should let her go back to the jungle where she feels safe.

I'm not so sure I agree. I mean, yes, she currently seems to feel safer with what she knows. But it says she lived with her family until she was 8, and then suddenly dissappeared. So, she is capable of re-learning her language fluently (presumably, if she spoke before she went missing), of becoming a part of society again. Unlike the children who were never allowed to be exposed to being human, she actually has a chance at becoming a "normal" woman.
To me, it sounds like her family may be guilty of something. 8-yr-olds don't just decide they'd be happier with no human contact. And now, she is still afraid of them.

But she is a grown woman now. Maybe not mentally. But she is capable of thinking on her own whether she can communicate that correctly or not. Would you want to watch her miserable in society or be happy where she's comfortable? Yes she could probably adapt...but she doesn't want to. So why try to force her to?
The story is so strange that I question whether a mentally ill person is being exploited here.
I agree, I don't know what to think of the situation.
