the kitten is scared it has had no human contact it reactions is very
understandable.  To be honest mom and the other kittens have probably
already moved on since the encounter with their hiding spot disturbed  if
mom had not already abandoned them for another reason

yes at that age that kitten will be able to lose the wild with ease

Yes. - Even if it lives in the "wild" for several years, it can be captured,
and retrained to live peacefully with humans. - I have a former feral cat
right now that we first started to feed about 5 years ago.....We never
"captured" it, but over the course of 5 years we have been able to
domesticate it just by feeding it and being kind to it. It has turned out to
be a very polite cat.....Naturally housebroken, and tolerant of our other
cats. The usual way, however, is to trap the wild cat, and force it to live
in the house with other inside cats.....In this way, you can domesticate one
in a few weeks. (You do have to get them neutered, however.)

Yes, a kitten of that young age can definitely be house trained and can make
a wonderful indoor pet.  Years ago, I adopted a feral cat that was estimated
to be *eight months* old.  I keep reading that a feral cat of that age can
never become a truly "tame" cat.  Wrong!  It took a couple of years, but he
eventually bonded and you could not have asked for a more loving companion
than he became (and completely indoors).  He lived to be almost 20 years of
age.  Your kitten is so young that it will not take nearly such a long time,
and -- as someone else wrote -- the chances are that the mother cat has
already moved on.  You should consult a vet regarding proper care for such a
young cat, but you will be doing him or her a great favor if you adopt.  A
feral cat that is left out "on its own" can face tremendous difficulties in
life.

I would like to tell my own story here:
A female cat which appeared to be wild came around and I started putting
food down for it. It came at regular times to feed but would run off at the
first sign of a human. It had three kittens in the grass and I observed them
until it took them under next door's shed. However it left the female kitten
and did not return by dusk, so I took this in and reared it successfully ,
feeding it with an eye-dropper and Lactol milk powder mixed with water.
I am told I was very lucky to succeed, gently "topping and tailing "
regularly using a damp sponge. After about 3 weeks it's eyes opened and
eventually she grew into lovely, but small, longhaired cat and lived for
about 13 years.
As for the two tom kittens, I saw them running around after about five or
six weeks. I took a cardboard box which I sealed and cut out a hole just
enough for them to get through, put some cat food in and placed it on the
garden. I watched from a distance and when the kittens had both entered I
sneaked up and put my hand over the hole and brought them indoors.
They would not come out for three days but tempted by food just outside the
box and the presence of the female kitten who was now running around, they
eventually became tame and domesticated. I had the two toms neutered and
they too grew into fine cats...very loving and responsive to humans.
Endnote: There were two more tom kittens the following year and after
catching and domesticating those I was able to find homes for them locally.
The mother was around for several years and in that time I managed to get to
the stage when she she would eat from a bowl while I held it out, but that
as far as it went....as soon as I lifted my thumb on the edge of the bowl
she would spit and back off.......At least I was able to give her a source
of food......which was all she needed.
