Gene Post

In class we watched a riviting documentery called "Wild Child."  I think it is incredible that this girl has even survived some of the things she has been put through.  For instance, she was tied down to a potty chair for almost 13 years.  She was givin no time to play or even communicate.  I think her parents should be sent to jail for life or given the death penalty.  The reason i think this is because her parents bacically screwed up her entire life by not raising her in a healthy fashion.  For that, their lives should be taken away.  Also, i beileve that Gene should have been left in the hands of those scientists that wanted to help her learn.  I know that her parents thought she was being manipulated but it was the only way she was going to learn.  As for how Gene ended up, i feel terrible.  She shouldnt have been bouncing around to all those foster care centers. for a girl who has had as rough a life as her, they should find a household to love her forever.  I hope one day she can be a part of a functional family.
