The Story of :Genie the Feral Child

Every child deserves to live a wonderful life,that includes: good & lovely family,medical & hygienic care,freedom and of course any type of education and general knowledge. Unfortunately there are some cases where these types of having a wonderful life are neglected. Like for example the case of Genie. 
A story of a small girl that was abused by her father for about 12 years. She was living in a small room with only a bed and a toilet. The most of the time she was spotted to a chair,so she was not even able to move. Her father was abusing her every time she tried to "say"something, so not that she couldn't move,had problems with seeing because of not being used to sunlight, she was also not able to speak. 
When she  was 13, a team of psychologists and language experts began the process of rehabilitating Genie.She was living with few foster parents but no one was taking the amount care of her she needed. Finally a famous psychologist,together with his wife took her and lived with her for about 4 years. Genies "teacher" was helping her to know the basic things, like recognizing colors or holding things. Genie was very shy,silent,incontinent and unable to chew. The only thing she was able to do was to recognize her own name and to say "sorry".  She made a huge progress right in the beginning of recovering and started to change and live from new on. The psychologists and doctors discovered this case for a very long time and after years of researching they asked themselves if Genie was not retarded from the day she was born.
