The document discusses the case of Genie Wiley, a girl who was severely socially isolated until age 13. When discovered, she was treated more like a research project than a child, being passed between researchers without developing strong bonds. A lack of findings resulted in her care being pulled, sending her back to her unable mother and then into unstable foster homes where she experienced further abuse and neglect. This caused Genie to regress and stop talking again after making progress with researchers. Overall, the document suggests Genie's situation as a research subject may have interrupted her recovery process.
