Genie Wiley was found in California in 1970, a feral child subjected to 13 years of horrors at the hands of her father -- and her tragic story blurs the line between research and true crime. It's part psychology, part biology, part linguistics... and all a chapter in the dark history of science.
Genie presented an incredible opportunity to study the limits of and potential for language acquisition at a time when Noam Chomsky's "Syntactic Structures" dominated linguistic debates. But was it even possible to help an abused girl and study her at the same time? That depends on who you ask -- but the result was limited scientific knowledge and a broken life.

You should use Nebula as additional platform for limited content.
she went from isolated in a room, to isolated in a scientific institute. and they wondered why her progress stopped.
That wouldn't be the cause of her progress stopping.....
If I remember the video correctly, the host has stated that Susan Curtis wanted to adopt her and become her parent. IF the courts in our American governmental system had a @#$%ing heart and a @#$%ing spine, they would have accepted Susan Curtis's proposal; and Genie FINALLY would have been saved and she would have DEVELOPED as a somewhat functioning adult human being. This just show how CORRUPTED, TARNISHED, and @#$%ING RUINED our American governmental system has become! I don't have the answer for this, but........EXPOSE the lies, the manipulations, and deceptions of our government! Have the masses SEE what is actually going on behind the curtains! And reveal WHO the big green face head guy really is and show no mercy to them!
P.S. - Do NOT become the very monster that you are trying to destroy........that would be an even WORSE outcome! Thank you!
@@MoonLiteNitevery likely contributed a large amount.
@@MoonLiteNite probrobly a part of the problem though
This assumes the scientists who were all about human development didn't have a clue how it works. Like she lived there, and possibly wasn't any more isolated than you when you sit at home. They probably went outside with her and stuff too, but there were likely limits to what she even could do, due to her stunted development. It's not like that you just expose someone like that to normal life and suddenly they overcome all their problems and become perfectly functional and normal.
People deserve better help than BetterHelp.
That's why here at BestHelp, we can surgically remove anxiety, depression and other popular disorders for only $4.20 per disorder.

Better help sells customer medical data & doesn't use licensed professionals
@@Babu-kr3cr As the other commenter has stated, they sell medical data and do not use licensed professionals.
Further more, their "psychologists" tend to run late or not be invested into the patients, and oftentimes push a political agenda. Oftentimes, far-right. This means that their treatment of LGBTQ+, black people, and other minority patients, are even worse than their baseline, which is not good in any measure of the word to begin with.
Yes I am questioning finishing this video now
Crazy how Genie was with a woman who loved her and wanted to take care of her and the foster system immediately set her back to where she was. Tells you what the state of the U.S. foster system is.
How do you look at one of the worst cases of parental abuse and think "yeah, we believe her mom is the best choice fr" ?
@@mactep1 yeah the woman who loved her was the psychologist my man…
@@mactep1 they were not talking about their mother.
Her name is Susan.
@@Nick26Plays They partially did. They were talking about how broken society is, that they literally didn't allow the woman who has proven to love her and actually take care of her to be her mother and instead sent them to her original mother, who has proven to abuse her.
Better help sells customer medical data & doesn't use licensed professionals ffs
And the people they do use are abused almost as much as their customers.

I love science. I love research. The whole video I was just internally screaming “she’s a child! She deserves to be taken care of according to her needs! Not studied endlessly to the detriment of her wellbeing!” She deserved a stable home with loving people and specialists who worked for her development and not some greater purpose.

Well if scientists followed your bleeding-heart approach, how would we ever learn anything? Think of testing new viral serums. Half of the infected are given the new serum and live, the other half get a placebo and die. That's the only way to prove whether the serum is effective.

“Her NAME is _Susan_ .” Hit way harder than it should have
kept it together until he said that. such a punch in the gut for some reason.
Name is a hollow word. That name is what her useless parents gave her, I assume. And she probably never associated that name (or any other hollow words and words in general for that matter) with her identity for the first 13 years.
@@nickyliu8762 I don't think the point was "they took away her identity!"- it was that out of every single "codename" they could have given her, they chose something dehumanizing and self-serving. As was described in the video, the name clearly shows that the scientists always viewed her as a way to further their own career rather than to provide something better for her. Remember that she didn't choose the name Genie- that was also chosen by people who ended up mistreating her for their own selfish interests. They could have gone for something like Jane Doe (which has existed since the 1700s), but they chose something else.
The reveal to the real name hits hard because it is a true reminder that this is a PERSON. Not a genie or other mythical being/fairytale, but a person and a child at that.
“And as always thanks for watching 😊”
The name was given by people who abused her and she probably didn’t form her identity around it. Is it really relevant ?
I took my undergrad in psychology, and the textbooks only ever talked about the first half of genie's story -- it's the first I've heard of what happened after funding dried up
Her names Susan. Watch the whole video it's worth it
I took undergrad psych and we got the full story. It was used to not only tell her story, but to reflect on care and practices in the field, etc.
Better Help is not a great outlet for those with severe trauma. Though they have licensed therapists, their main work is in data collection. I know mental health help is very hard to find, so please do your research!
🙏
Not only can you not trust the company you're paying, you can't even trust the person you're talking to. A while back plenty of their therapists were unlicensed.
@@RisingRevengeance Not only that but some of their therapists were/are conversion therapists who were assigned to patients with LGBT issues
My therapist literally told me to do something so that he could “record data” I didn’t think much of it at the time but I am reconsidering the effectiveness of his practices

At the end, he reveals that Genie was a codename and her real name is Susan
@@zakattack5863 yeah I realized that and forgot to delete my comment.
The mother was not blameless holy hell! She could have easily stopped what was happening to her for 13 years. Wild
yes but also old blind woman V.S old man who is roleplaying as the deathangles from a quiet place and is goated with the two by four.
I don't think you can give her as much blame as others, we don't know the details of what she could've done. She may have been just as abused by the father. More blame is to be had on the people that put her back with her mother, who obviously didn't have the means to care for a normal child let alone this case, without any kind of support. Even if she was 100% blameless and a great, caring mother, she didn't have the means to give her what she needed. Even a fully able mother couldn't have cared for her on her own, I think.
@@wind_king-lh8zs Well, we don't actually know how old the mother was during Susan's birth and for her first 8 years of her life. She was likely more than capable of reporting this situation to the police, nonetheless Susan also had an older brother who was a victim to the father too. The mother had two chances, and she did nothing. Just because she didn't participate in the abuse, doesn't mean she didn't bystand and witness it.
The father was a horrible man, yes, but the mother was definitely a cruel bystander to what had happened. No one respects a person who bystands bullying, why should anyone respect a person who bystands torture?
@@chaoticcow4357 good point take this 👍
@FoggyMcFogFace Agreed. Which is why she ultimately ended up in an institution, where she was reported to have become very happy by all accounts.
She supposedly became good at sign language.
I like to think she is still living a quiet life without the pressure of having to succeed.
Ah yes, let's sue the scientists who helped her learn basic things, and with whom she was happy, rather than the foster home where she was abused for years. What a genius move
"Her name isn't even Genie" was such a plot twist

This was a horrific and tragic story that almost made me cry. Everyone forgot that this was a person, except the person who wasn't allowed to see her. What a miserable life, and for no good reason.
I haven’t finished watching but here’s a fun fact: in Chinese we call the sliced bread “toast” (吐司), whether it was toasted or not. It’s just called toast for all intents and purposes, as long as they’re sliced and fits in a regular toaster. When I first came to the US a decade ago, I had trouble finding sliced bread in the grocery store because all I knew to look for is toast lol.
On the other hand, “bread” in Chinese is mostly referring to soft pastry, sometimes with fillings inside, like a chocolate croissant or many Asian pastry found in Chinese and Japanese bakeries.
Toast as in loanword toast?
in Sweden we usually call a grilled sandwich a toast, especially if it's been in a toasting iron and gotten the distinct triangles! square bread made for toasting is called "roastbread" (rostbröd) and after roasting it's "roasted bread" (rostat bröd) lol. sliced bread is the norm all around, we're instead specific about when it's a whole loaf (limpa).
so bread is sweet bread (pan dulce)?
In french it refers to a specific format of bread (sliced bread) made for toasting.
Bread is the general term for normal bread, so no particular shape or composition.
But there are many names for the different types of bread.
Thank you for reuploading, Susan’s story is important and should not be censored for any reason
I downloaded the original video soon after it was published because I knew, just from the title, that it might be censored.

I wish they let that speech pathologist who's STILL talking about her adopt her.
I heard of this story for the first time many years ago. As far as I understand, she never had any real mental disability- it is all just a result of the abusive upbringing she had since being a baby, being locked in a room with no human contact. My understanding is that she would have been perfectly ordinary, if she had been brought up in a good home. It is hard to express how this story makes me feel.
She did have real mental health issues, it just wasn't genetic, it was more due to nurture instead of nature. Saying it "wasn't real" is problematic at best. Also, given the parents' behavior, it's possible there was also a genetic component.
@@error.418 I didnt say she didnt have mental health issues, I said that as far as my understanding goes she didnt have any real mental disability, IE a medical intellectual disability not caused by her upbrining, like down syndrome.

@@firempire229 No.
From Wikipedia: "In May 2008, ABC News reported that someone who spoke to them under condition of anonymity had hired a private investigator who located her in 2000. According to the investigator, she was living a simple lifestyle in a small private facility for mentally underdeveloped adults and appeared to be happy, and reportedly only spoke a few words but could still communicate fairly well in sign language."
Later in the article it says that as of 2016, she is still alive.
They asked "what can we learn" instead of "how can we heal".
What she needed more than anything was a father and a mother to adopt her into a home filled with love and instead they raised her in a lab like a rat.

He lives off social security while his wife works to escape the abuse for a the day. The Eagan MN Police won't do a thing because there are too many children and they listen to Adam when he says that she's drunk, falls down and runs into this. After he has physically forces her to drink vodka he will video tape evidence for his side of the story. When I tried to help I got stabbed😅

"you begin to develop an internal monologue using those terms" @ 14:35
.
Imo it's maybe more accurate to say we develop an internal, personalized dictionary. An internal, or inner, monologue is usually a term used to refer to something had by people who think in words (as opposed to say, images) to themselves, effectively having a silent conversation with themself. Not everyone has an inner monologue, or a mind's eye (seeing pictures in their head, at will or otherwise).
Think twice about better help please.
This is incredibly interesting but I cannot express how uncomfortable talking about the abstractions of language makes me. It's a new feeling. And it being inter-cut with the horrible abuse of Genie makes the feeling even stronger. I did not expect this to be a psychological horror video
Same. I wonder if she was never named. Did she know her name? Her parents thought process etc. What would be different if she never had a name.

Only if a new one emerged with a feature out-of-the-box, that the big one can't provide in 2 years that will make it work. Provided that they aren't sold out to the big one at any point in time.
And you might already know how hard a tech business to sustain in 2 years.
There is competition, it is the users the ones who start making the difference
I'm going to hazard a guess and say: Genie is not a reference to the wish-granting characters from tales, but rather supposed to refer to the German word for "genius". It likely referred to their hope that she would surprise them all with her true intellect.

Watching this again and commenting to appease the algorithm so Kevin's efforts get the recognition they deserve.
The sweet irony of standing on a podium stating this girl deserved better while pushing a morally bankrupt company for cash.
There is only one greater good and that would had been to protect and slowly heal this innocent child!
The story of Genie splits my mind into two, on one hand its deep sadness for what happened, and on the other a will to abandon reason and go on a blood rampage that in the end would end up helping no one but the feeling is there. A useless attempt to try to end the world for the unfairness of a world that could allow this to happen to an innocent child.
there is so much more tragedy and injustice in this world and in the past... you just dont know yet, so my advice would be to just calm down and, remember, not everyone gets all the happiness or all the sadness that is there.
BH is not good. Don't believe me, look into it.
UA-cam needs to stop these shenanigans
Why does YT allow links to porn sites to get auto-downloaded as first comments complete with a porno ID picture?
Cause they don't give a sh*t
@@kaith-xc3um To actually do things properly would require staff, paid human beings. Internet companies are severely allergic to that, paying people cuts into profits.
Surprised they haven't gone the route of Wikipedia or Reddit, getting a load of people who apparently have nothing better to do, to "moderate" people's opinions, for no pay. The only thing that's in it for them is the petty amount of power. You can imagine the sort of person that inevitably attracts. Or you can just go look.

Do read the transcript while you listen to this podcast. It has all the censored phrases in it.
Thank you, VSauce2 for including the censored words in the transcript. A child under 13 would still need to understand the concepts presented, including abuse of private parts. Especially when these children might have been abused themselves. They need to know they have autonomy and the right not to be violated and what that violation looks like so they can distinguish the two.
And there are children who have seen adults kill themselves. Children of all ages need to know it happens to more people than themselves, that others have experienced these tragic and shocking and wrong events. And thus they have the right and the license to have solace and closure and agency to do so, especially while discussing it with others who have experienced it.
Kids are smarter than we think. It's time we recognize it and stop infantalizing kids. When kids take our phones and tablets and fix the problems that baffle us oldsters, then we need to recognize them and respect them as adults in their many ways.
And don't get me started on UA-cam!
