Genie Wiley

After she was found Genie was treated like a research project rather than a child. She was still passed around from researcher to researcher meaning it was unlikely she developed strong bonds. Because of lack of findings, care from the researchers was pulled. This meant she went back to her unable mother.
Genie quickly ended up in foster homes, moving rapidly throughout where she was often further abused or neglected. After her time in foster care, Genie regressed to not talking. Her time in foster care was so awful she did not want to open her mouth again. The researchers almost interrupted her recovery and even though they helped her for a period, replaced her into a stressful and abusive situation.
