God died in the 1940s or so. He tried to stop this by sending a lightning bolt and killing the fathers father in hopes of preventing this but it was too late. The most logical assumption is to believe God was and longer is.

IQ is upwardly fixed and is genetic. Environment can realize it to it's full potential or undermine it. Developmental malnutrition and early sensory deprivation can cause brain damage and indeed decrease of IQ, just as hits to the head with a hammer can. If this reddit remark is your first thought when you see this story, then I'm afraid to say this is just cope and you wishing you were more intelligent. Very sick mind. Seek help.

Genie was the last, and second surviving, of four children born to parents living inArcadia, California. Her father worked in a factory as aflight mechanicduringWorld War IIand continued in aviation afterward, and her mother, who was around 20 years younger and from anOklahomafarming family, had come to southern California as a teenager with family friends fleeing theDust Bowl.[16][12][17]During her early childhood, Genie's mother sustained a severe head injury in an accident, giving her lingering neurological damage that caused degenerative vision problems in one eye. Genie's father mostly grew up in orphanages in the American Pacific Northwest. His father died of a lightning strike, and his mother ran a brothel while only infrequently seeing him. Additionally, his mother gave him a feminine first name which made him the target of constant derision. As a result, he harbored extreme resentment toward his mother during childhood, which Genie's brother and the scientists who studied Genie believed was the root cause of his subsequent anger problems.[17][18][19]

When Genie's father reached adulthood he changed his first name to one which was more typically masculine, and his mother began to spend as much time with him as she could. He became almost singularly fixated on his mother, despite relentless arguments over her attempts to convince him to adopt a less rigid lifestyle, and therefore came to treat all other relationships as secondary at best.[17][20][21]Although Genie's parents initially seemed happy to those who knew them, soon after they married he prevented his wife from leaving home and beat her with increasing frequency and severity.[22][16]Her eyesight steadily deteriorated due to lingering effects from her existing neurological damage, the onset of severecataracts, and adetached retinain one eye, leaving her increasingly dependent on her husband.[23][16]

[Anonymous No.12252064]

Genie's father disliked children and wanted none of his own, finding them noisy, but around five years into their marriage his wife became pregnant. Although he beat his wife throughout the pregnancy, and near the end attempted to strangle her to death, she gave birth to an apparently healthy daughter. Her father found her cries disturbing and placed her in the garage, where she caughtpneumoniaand died at the age of ten weeks.[24][12]Their second child, born approximately a year later, was a boy diagnosed withRh incompatibilitywho died at two days of age, either from complications of Rh incompatibility or from choking on his own mucus.[25][26]Three years later they had another son, who doctors described as healthy despite also having Rh incompatibility. His father forced his wife to keep him quiet, causing significant physical and linguistic developmental delays. When he reached the age of four his maternal grandmother grew concerned about his development and took over his care for several months, and he made good progress with her before she eventually returned him to his parents.[12][17][25]

[Anonymous No.12252069]

Genie was born about five years after her brother, around the time that her father began to isolate himself and his family from all other people.[27][28]At birth, she was in the 50th percentile for weight. The following day she showed signs of Rh incompatibility and required ablood transfusion, but had nosequelaeand was otherwise described as healthy.[29][27]A medical appointment at three months showed that she was gaining weight normally but found acongenital hip dislocation, which required her to wear a highly restrictiveFrejka splintfrom the age of 412to 11 months. The splint caused Genie to be late to walk, and researchers believed this led her father to start speculating that she wasmentally retarded. As a result, he made a concentrated effort not to talk to or pay attention to her, and strongly discouraged his wife and son from doing so as well.[9][29]

There is little information about Genie's early life, but available records indicate that for her first months she displayed relatively normal development. Genie's mother later recalled that Genie was not a cuddly baby, did notbabblemuch, and resisted solid food.[9][30]At times she said that at some unspecified point Genie spoke individual words, but could not recall them, but at other times she said that Genie had never produced speech of any kind. Researchers never determined which was the truth.[9][31]

[Anonymous No.12252071]

At the age of 11 months Genie was still in overall good health and had no noted mental abnormalities, but had fallen to the 11th percentile for weight. The people who later studied her believed this was a sign that she was starting to suffer some degree ofmalnutrition.[30][32]When Genie was 14 months old, she came down with a fever andpneumonitisand her parents took her to apediatricianwho had not previously seen her. The pediatrician said that, although her illness prevented a definitive diagnosis, there was a possibility that she was mentally retarded and that the brain dysfunctionkernicterusmight be present, further amplifying her father's conclusion that she was severely retarded.[30][10][33]

Six months later, when Genie was 20 months old, her paternal grandmother died in ahit-and-runtraffic accident. Her death affected Genie's father far beyond normal levels of grief, and because his son had been walking with her he held his son responsible, further heightening his anger.[12][34]When the truck's driver received only aprobationarysentence for bothmanslaughteranddrunk driving, Genie's father became delusional with rage. Scientists believed these events made him feel society had failed him and convinced him he would need to protect his family from the outside world, but in doing so he lacked theself-awarenessto recognize the destruction his actions caused. Because he believed Genie was severely retarded he thought she needed him to protect her even further, and therefore chose to hide her existence as far as possible.[12][34][35]He immediately quit his job and moved his family into his mother's two-bedroom house, where he demanded his late mother's car and bedroom be left completely untouched as shrines to her, and further isolated his family.[17][34][36]
