Genie: America’s ”Feral Child”

It's our Monday morning show! (On a Tuesday...) This morning, let's talk about Genie Wiley, America's "feral child." For the first 13 years of her life, all hours of the day,  Genie is strapped to a potty chair in an empty room, with no stimulation whatsoever. When she's finally rescued, she becomes a national news story, and scientists everywhere are fighting tooth and nail to study this rare case of an isolated child. It's a sad story about the girl who deserved more from the world that, ultimately, took more from her instead.   SOURCES: Genie, A Scientific Tragedy by Russ Rymer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genie_(feral_child) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtgnjRY_Z7w https://abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=4873347&page=1   FOLLOW US ON: Youtube youtube.com/azbbonusfeatures Instagram @coffeeandtequilashow Alastair @alastairjpatton Zach @adventuresofzachandb
