Genie

Psych 1 started the Nova documentary today "The Wild Child," which reflects on the story of "Genie" aka Susan Wiley. Genie was discovered at the age of 13 when her mother escaped the abusive father. Read more about Genie here: http://www.feralchildren.com/en/showchild.php?ch=genie

Here is a transcript of the video http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/transcripts/2112gchild.html

Story and pictures of Genie's brother, as well as more recent pictures of Genie http://abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=4873347&page=1


Remember that while Genie was able to grow physically and develop relationships, full communication still evades her
