Sometimes I wonder about the bizarre and tragic stories that lurk in the shadows of our society. The ones that make you question the very nature of humanity. The case of Genie Wiley<\/a><\/strong>, once known as the “feral child,” is certainly one of those tales that stick with you.<\/p>\n

Warning: The article includes details of child abuse. Please proceed with caution.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Genie was born in 1957. Her extreme neglect began when her father, convinced that she was severely mentally disabled, isolated her from almost all human contact from the age of about 20 months. She was kept in a small room, often strapped to a child’s toilet or bound in a sleeping bag in a crib with a cover made of metal screening. Her father dissuaded any noise by barking and growling at her, conditioning her to silence (via ABC News<\/a>). Genie’s mother, who was blind and also a victim of abuse, did not intervene.<\/p>\n
