Wild Child

I thought that the documentary about Genie was really interesting.  I thought it was very strange that she was able to walk after all the time being stuck on the chair, although she was not able to walk correctly.  I also thought it was cool how she was able to learn so much once she was born.  It is sad to think that she will never be able to be like a normal human though.  The boy they found was also very interesting.  I was very interested to know when he got left outside as a child, and how he actually did survive.  They said that he was mentally challenged from birth, but I wonder how much worse that was because he was left outside to fend for himself for so long.  Both these cases were very interesting to me.  They were both also very sad and it is horrible to think someone would leave their child to suffer like that.
