The thing Grahamburglar is trying to say, is that it (in normal circumstances involving normal children) would be perfectly reasonable for them to be, in terms of their emotional and social development, at the level at which they were divorced from society. Personally, I couldn't give an opinion one way or the other seeing as, on one hand, Malia is a werecoyote, who showed (despite some bloody single-mindedness) to be reasonably capable of making intelligent decisions in her coyote state, and so it could be assumed that she was at least somewhat in control and capable of functioning rationally during those years, making a conscious decision not to return home rather than just going feral. Yet on the other hand, in real situations, children would be completely warped by such experiences and suffer horrible post-trauma symptoms for years to come. So, yeah.
