So, lack of social and health services was the missing link. That family living in such poverty was made outcast because they missed the critical lesson on walking up right, and with a simple walker, some hand rails, and a good doctor the whole family healed.
They did not “devolve” they adapted to an astonishing lack of support and community.
The torment these people went through, with a significant portion due to their lack of community and medical support, is terrifying.
