At this time she went to live with her mother, who being acquitted of all charges and following cataract surgery, now wanted to take care of her.  But Irene found it too difficult and so Genie was moved to the "Beatrice Mansfield family home" in 1975.  She was placed with the Crocketts about 1977.  Susan's mother Irene Wiley appears in one of these documents dated Jan 1974.  And again Irene signs an authorization form in Jun 1975.
