An interesting story related to mermaid children was taken from the British press in 1810 and tells the story of 2 mermaid children found on the Isle of man.
The fisherman thought he heard a dying bird, and as he followed the noise, he noticed one dead child and another nearby. They must have been injured by the recent storm. He took the injured child home and treated him.
This Mer child was less than two feet long, had the torso of a normal child, and the tail of a fish. The hair was like seaweed, wavy and green,and the color was a pale brown. The baby mermaid ate mussels provided by the man and sometimes drank milk, and was eventually released back into the sea.
