There have been a lot of cases related to wild children in the world history as well as in the present. Wild or feral children are those who are physically or mentally harmed or tortured by their parents, family or relatives. Due to this, there personality will developed in an abnormal manner and most of the time they even don't communicate with normal people. They have a number of problems related to language and movements. On the other hand, sometime they even don't have the ability to understanding others. In this assignment i will discuss two wild child cases and then compare them with each other.
Genie’s case;
Genie case was exposed on 1970 in America. She was one of the wild children who was mistreated by her father. Her father confined

Differences; Some differences of both cases are as follow;
• First difference between these cases are related to the environment. If we look at the case of Genie, we knew that she spent most of the time in one locked room on her potty chair where she was unable to move her body parts. On the other hand, Amala and Kamala were lived in very different environment, they spend most of their life with a she-wolf.
• The second difference between these cases is the family behaviour. Genie’s father locked her in one room and no one talk to him. Most of the time her father torture her mentally as well as physically. On the other hand, Amala and Kamala’s father throw them out from the house and again he never met with his daughters.
• Genie have problem in moving his body. She can’t properly move his body parts. But Amala and Kamala’s body movement is very fast even it would be hard to catch them.
• Amala and Kamala’s body movements are like wolf not like a human being and their behaviour was also like that such as; they smell meat from a very huge
These two stories were also very different, they were written in different views. The second story was written in first person, it told a story about a past experience. The first story was very general, it related to many women readers,
The final child of the couple was Genie. At a doctor’s appointment in late 1958 when Genie was 20 months old the doctor diagnosed her with mild retardation. However, this claim has been debated. Nevertheless, Genie’s sadistic father kept her in extreme isolation locked away in an upstairs bedroom. The window was covered in aluminium foil and Genie was tightly restrained to a potty chair in near darkness every day. At night she slept in a tattered sleeping bag tied down in a cot that was enclosed with chicken wire. Although she would often be left on the potty chair overnight. She was malnourished and Clark forbid his son and wife to speak to Genie. If she was to make any sound she was beaten with a wooden plank, and was allegedly sexually abused also. Though no one will ever know exactly what
Abuse and neglect comes in all different forms and each one of them are as equally as damaging as the next. Others will agree that abuse and neglect are hard to define in some cases, but there are clues and signs that professionals and nonprofessionals can detect in a child if they just pay attention. Being observant isn’t the only key to saving these children, but also being willing to speak up and tell someone what you know and or saw. In “A Child Called It”, David Pelzer is a young boy who goes through horrendous abuse and neglect who might have been able to endure much less pain if one adult would have spoken up, despite the fear of any consequences. There is a disgusting number of examples of abuse and neglect in this book, but there will be three different experiences that will showcase neglect, psychological abuse, and physical abuse discussed in the rest of this text.
One difference both characters have is that the grandmother at the end seems to find spiritual peace. At the beginning, she described the misfit as a bad guy, but the moment she touched him, she connected with him and knew he was a
Ariel and Belle both transformed from intellectually curious and ambitious people into girls who only
Secondly, stress falls on describing and classifying child abuse and its prevalence in children under six years of age. After a brief outline of the areas in which a victim is challenged, focus shifts onward to specific emotional and social drawbacks that ensue. A more in-depth account of this matter follows, enlisting Alan Schore's right-brain correlations, an analysis based on the phenomenon of dissociation, and other probable prospects for the victim.
One difference between them is actual slave experience. In California Slave Girl, Shaghala was a different type of slave than Federick. “ Shyima was sold to Ibrahim's, who at the time lived in Cairo, Egypt capital( in Egypt selling slaves is illegal but widespread” So Shiyma was a modern day slave that was taken illegally. Frederick was a old time slave when slavery was legal and the outcome of them being free was zero to none.” Frequently, before the child has reached its twelfth month, its mother is taken away from it, and hired off to some farm.” Frederick was an old time slave who was by law at that time was force to be separated from his mother and at a young age was suppose to be a slave. One more difference between the story was their outcome after slavery. In California Slave girl Shyima ended up doing good after slavery. “ Shyima earns her
Harry Harlow’s thorough research on the connection between maternal comfort and rhesus monkeys provides information and knowledge to the reader as an insight into our social and emotional development. In this article, Harlow uses experimental observation of mental and emotional associations of the affectionate ties between the child and the mother. As Harlow says, this is “an instinct incapable of analysis”.
These characters have many things in common, but when they have to stand up to each other it is as simple as one fighting for her life while the other only had to tell stories to win a game. Both women are very intelligent in convincing others to do as they say or command, the Wife of Bath convinces all her husbands to obey her, while Shahrazad convinces the King to listen to her stories and fall in love with her. They both are strong willed in getting what they want, from living their life to having the husband of their dreams. Shahrazad does not quite play up to the Wife of Bath in her sense of experience with men, but sizes up to her desire to control the King or a “lover,” as described in the Wife of Baths tale. Their roles in both stories are significant to each other because they show different sides to each characteristic they share. Shahrazad having a much more demanding role in surviving and saving her community, while the Wife of Bath has a relaxed and patient role in manipulation or desiring control. Each women expresses a power to control whom they love, explaining a common theme in both stories. If they did not control those they loved Sharazad would die and the Wife of Bath would become broke and
Genie is a wild child who found in LA on 1970, she is a very extreme case of neglected the caretaking from adult. Her father believed she is retarder She spent her first thirteen years on tiding at the potty chair and still wearing diaper, she had never see, listen, being taught of anything in her life. For the past many years she had been isolation and lack of adult care make her the way she is right now.
Humans require nurturing and human interaction in order to live a normal life. Once an infant is born, a parent cares and watches for the child. The parents teach the child how to communicate, walk, and know what’s right and wrong. Humans require their humanness through social interaction. Without socializing, a human can be brought up differently. Even though children are biologically human, they don’t have the instincts or natural drive that makes them human. Social interaction is needed such as personality, love, freedom, justice, right and wrong, and reality. Humans are the social creations of society. For example, feral children. There are hundreds of documentations on cases of feral children all throughout history. These feral children had been raised without human interaction or by other animals they have come in contact with. There was a case in 1974 about a young boy whose story was similar to Tarzan. In central Africa, he was discovered at only six years old with a group of gray monkeys. For many years, he still remained a monkey by eating only fruits and vegetables and jumping up and down in excitement. Also another case with a young girl named Anna. Throughout her life she lived in seclusion and loneliness. Her grandfather refused to acknowledged her existence while her mother ignored her and kept her in an attic. Once she was discovered by a social worker they
Even Aladdin's mother criticizes him for his ridiculous desire, "My child, may Allah protect you! It seems you've lost your head!" However, as a loving mother she tells him, "my greatest desire is for you to marry", and with that makes the boldest decision of the story: to approach the Sultan to request his daughter's hand in marriage for Aladdin. The move, an unprecedented one, highlights beautifully the incredible composure and boldness of Aladdin's mother. Even she questions, ."..how can I be so bold as to ask for the daughter of the Sultan of China...?" (164) In an ironic role reversal, Aladdin's mother suddenly becomes empowered enough to carry out such a bold action. Through her ability to approach the sultan to ask the most audacious of questions, Aladdin's mother refutes classic notions of the power-gender relationship. The decision to approach the sultan would have been valiant in itself for even the most courageous man; the fact that a woman did this exemplifies the empowerment of women in "1001 Arabian Nights" and spurs doubt surrounding the classic idea that men are more powerful than women.
The historical overview of child’s childhood had always being depicted as nonexistent. Abuse and neglect were part of their everyday day lives. Children were supposed to be as efficient as an adult but yet were limited to the wants and needs of their parents, as they were view as belonging to them. I was not until recently that the maltreatment towards children was broken down into four categories which are physical abuse, physical neglect, sexual abuse, and emotional neglect. On this paper I will be focusing sexual abuse; the long term impact of sexual abuse in the child’s cognitive abilities as well behavior and the overall emotional state and how resiliency plays a roll on the child’s overall adjustment.
This paper explores the numerous effects neglect has on a child's development. If a child lacks the necessary attachment and stimulation during the critical first years, they will have profound developmental issues throughout life. Possibly the most important aspects that are affected by neglect are the brain and a child's social development. Looking into the case of the Romanian orphans, readers will be able to see the harsh consequences. Severe neglect is child abuse that often goes unnoticed and is hard to reverse. By understanding the implications of neglect, we can intervene earlier in order to prevent severe cases from becoming irrevocable.
