Police in Germany are trying to identify an English-speaking teenager who claims he has spent the past five years living rough in woods.

The youth explained how he used a compass to get out of the woods after his father died in a fall two weeks ago.

He says he does not remember where the family came from and claims he followed his compass north, eventually arriving in Berlin.

Just why? Obviously they knew how to get out of the woods, so I wonder why they kept hiding.
