Genie was imprisoned in a bedroom and bound to a potty chair for the most of her early life. From the TLC documentary 'Wild Child :The Story Of Feral Children'. She showed joy, expression, learned how to verbalize, even showed she had a sense of humor. The real lesson here was to not study a poor soul who has been put through such a terrible experience. The parents have been accused of child abuse. This situation would only occur in the human species. The video evidence of her regression after broken trust and a return to abuse is also clear. ...Same old scenario, the innocent get a pounding by the You have to get a permit to drive a car. She was loved and nurtured and cared for by many people. Perhaps not maliciously, but her judgment could not be trusted. Awww be quiet....Its not all men doing this. All because of a domineering, subhuman male beast: Genie’s father! According to Curtiss’s book, when an earlier baby girl was born, he put the child in the garage because he couldn’t stand her crying: the baby died of pneumonia at two-and-a half months. I want to add that I can see why people found her captivating. Still brings tears to my eyes even now. Genie needed to have love and care instead of being treated as a scientific object. The girl who gave an impression of an infant would be well known as "Genie." These are the people we think are the brightest among us. I have always maintained that two adults who are a couple should not be able to procreate unless they have gone through an assessment program and are in a situation where they are able to rear a child. I'm not stating a crazy behavior, but she as animal minded, could see things done were to her senseless. It always seems to come down to ego and money as the motivators in these cases Sad !!! It's a free compilation of all documentaries posted each week, straight to your inbox. Brought up in confinement, "Genie" was primitive, brutish, and hardly capable of walking or talking. in which she had been so terribly abused. She was mute most of the time. Then, she needed therapy, whose priority would be her emotional health. They had to know she was not going to be an easy child to have in a home; she required more than a "normal" child would in development process and learning. Genie needed love and acceptance as any other human being but she was treated as a scientific guinea pig, for the sake of science and experiments. To even entertain the suit, much less award it, was also bad judgment on the part of the legal system. There are men who should never be allowed to procreate or even to live! Brought up in confinement, "Genie" was primitive, brutish, and hardly capable of walking or talking. The people involved, the so called "intellectuals" make me sick. Another sad example how our Society works everything about money and headlines but by the end that beautiful little girl was passed around like a ball,and ended up being abandoned by everybody.her mother should be in prison for the rest of her life she is not a Mother. WTF? Genie would have had a lot better memories and a whole lot of less frustration. ON OFF. Select two versions then click the compare button. Lastly, for all of you comparing her to “unwanted puppies “ or”scientific guinea pig” I don’t believe that these were the best terms to use as she was also a human being and not some animal as some of u most likely non intendedly regarded to her. First, I want to start by saying that if your going to start something then u should finish it which wasn’t the case in this situation and for FERENC CSICSERI who said “her mother should be in prison for the rest of her life,she is not a mother” seems to me as if he wasn’t really paying attention to the story and put a little to much blame on the mother.to further explain the documentary clearly states that her mother was blind and was also a victim of her husbands(genies dad) abusive ways.second it also mentions how genies mother did try to take her back but as a blind person of course she found some issues in were she most likely was not able to interact much with genie. I'm a psychologist, just watched this although I'd learned about the story long again. [Narrator] Genie moved from home to home. Moreover, the documentary should have shown Genie as and an adult, too, and let us see the result of such abuses, first in the home and then outside. behavior she witnessed daily from people around her. Why get involved in the first place. I would have taken her and put her on the farm with me and our family. Many people are frightened of the unknown, and of something (or someone in this case) who could disrupt their way of living. What we all need most, and a child most crucially, is love. What a travesty! This is inhuman. It's a very sad story. We need at least one person in this world to care about us above all else, and to stick by us through everything. Life is hell on every life, some more than others. - I give credit to Marc as a truly agree with his statement and beliefs on this tragic story. She was profoundly disturbed and ill-equipped to function as a human, much less in a civilized society. @Kathy U, quit being a bitch karen she didnt say all men, Ilove that story because it tell you more about how to care for you babies and even though it was sad but the story also help you to learn more about brain functioning. God will take care of us all though! Did they not explain her traumatized experiences? Their own selfish needs came before Genie's needs. Then the mother has the temerity to sue the caregivers for their lack of care for the child? I studied this case as part of my Psychology course. If having to go through tons of paper work to make a child is what u stand for how about just having to go through paper work just to have sex in general. The lives of children used to be filled with hours of... How does weather work? Kathy H didn't say all men. This is an Emmy Award-winning documentary about a girl who spent her early life chained in a bedroom. Some wanted to help. They never saw her as a human being. All she needed was someone to give her that extra time and care, to understand and work with her.. she did not deserve to be thrown around like a unwanted puppy. But it is not enough, and it is not what comes first. People weren't as aware of this as they are now, all the doctors and scientists waned to do was give her a good place to live(their intentions were good) and they expected that out of the foster system. The foster system was not as thorough as it is now, and people were scared to give Genie a chance because she wasn't a normal child and didn't have a normal childhood, or any social interaction. Your views of this case are childishly simplistic. In moments of pure frustration and weakness, I too have echoed your feelings about procreation. so-called intellectuals, just like 'Nim', the chimpanzee, betrayed by the loved ones. Others prly wanted notoriety. Loving what God made, feeding his animals for instance. Her description is like a dance, telling a very sad story. But to believe Genie would miraculously change with a caring parent by her side is delusional at best. I really want to know some of your pros and cons and ideas in general thoughts that led you to this...this..I truly don’t even have words. The mother is arrested. What Genie had been deprived of was love, the love of a competent and healthy person. California and the ppl who so called CARED for this child dropped the ball .Seems to me since she contributed to science so much...and she did contribute...they would have taken special interest in her well being. Now, I'm not saying this was a good thing to put Genie through, I realize that this, Genie's conditions was only worsened by making her go from place to place, but what else were they supposed to do with so little options? And she really didn't speak at all. But to create a child? 1) A loving family, 2) therapy, 3) education. The mom wins an undisclosed settlement? Her face, her hands -- so gentle but powerfully expressive. Fully kept under control, she was made to sit alone every day and night. 0:09 - 0:11 that she never even learned to talk. You definitely would! It is poetry. She had an emotional bond with her researchers/therapists/foster parents, and that bond was broken when the grant was discontinued and she was forced to return to the scene of her abuse and then forced into new scenes of abuse. NOVA follows the contentious attempts to unbolt the secret of the wild child who has reached near maturity in an agonizing seclusion with almost no human contact. And you would regress to defensive behaviors, just as Genie did. If this were you, would you lose trust in everyone around you? You have no credentials to say what Genie needed or didnt need. There are obviously some men who shouldn't become fathers for the best interest of their children. What strikes me now is how similar she seems to children with low functioning autism. So you can't really pin the blame on the scientists who took her in. Just teach them what you can and try to give them a place to belong were they can love and be loved, we wouldn't put somebody through such torture simply to study it and so we shouldn't look upon such a thing happening outside of our control as an opportunity to do it either because then the only problem you're having is that you couldn't get away with it if you did emulate it rather than it being a problem of ethics at all.
