I had writen on the David Pelzer article and from a mention there, I became curious to do an article about "Genie the Wild Child". What did I know when I started this article about Genie?  Genie is called variously 13 or 13 1/2 in online-postings describing when she was discovered by authorities in 1970.  I had heard of the case, but until I started researching I had no idea of particular details about her family situation: her surname, the names of her parents and siblings if any, or where they lived except the vague "Los Angeles" area.  Various postings online claim that her real name has been kept private.  I had thought that was because documents were sealed, but as you see shortly, I was wrong.

Her situation was discovered in 1970, and it's been reported that she was found when her mother, escaping from her abusive husband, went to social services.  I knew that she was examined in various laboratory settings, that her father shot himself, and that her mother was living for some time afterwards and eventually at some point got custody of her again.  That is all I knew when I first created this page to start my research.</td>

An article in the ''Valley News'' of Van Nuys, California, Dec 17, 1970, (page 23C "Felony Charge Dismissed in Wiley Child Abuse Case") gives her name as "Susan".  It repeats her parents names as above and adds that she had a brother or half-brother named John Wiley, calling him "Clark's son".  In this same article, Irene is called "of Alhambra, California", although their home is described as being "in Arcadia".  In 1970, in the Los Angeles suburb of Arcadia. Susan "Genie" was taken into protective custody.

A site visitor has told me that there is a book about this case, which could possibly explain why Irene is called both of Alhambra and of Arcadia.  It appears possible that Irene and Clark seperated and she went, taking Susan "Genie" with her, to live with her own mother.  It was possibly at *this* time that she went to Social Services, and then they would have come to her *new* albeit temporary home with her mother, who presumably would be living in Alhambra.  IF TRUE, that would then explain a number of things.
