Surgical Scars???
The "Boy in the Box" is the name given to a 3-to 7-year-old boy, whose naked, extensively beaten body was found on the side of Susquehanna Road, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on February 25, 1957. He appeared to have been cleaned and freshly groomed, with a recent haircut and trimmed fingernails, although he had suffered extensive physical abuse prior to his death, with multiple bruises on his body. He was additionally found to be malnourished. The body was covered with scars, some of which were surgical (most notably on his ankle, groin, and chin). It is believed, by both police and public opinion, that the cause of death was homicide by blunt force trauma.[4] He was also known as "America's Unknown Child".

Raised as a Girl Theory
Another theory came from forensic artist Frank Bender.
He suggested that the boy in the box may have been raised as a girl. He highlighted the child's unprofessional haircut, which appeared to have been done in haste. This was the basis for this theory.
In addition to this were his eyebrows, which appeared to be styled.
In 2008, Bender released a sketch of the child with long hair. This theory has remained one of the most consistent theories on social media.
