44 Seemingly Normal Photos That Hide Shocking Secrets Behind the Scenes
This is horrible. I don’t know why America joined that war. The actions of those soldiers is disgusting, and should be remembered so it never happens again.
Just a photo of a cute girl, right? This is Genie (not her real name, but that’s what she is called in the public sphere. (Real name was kept secret.) From the time she was an infant, around 20 months old, her father kept her in a single room, strapped down to a potty chair facing the wall. She had no human interaction beyond her parents until the age of 13, when she was rescued.

Studied her in developmental psych. Incredibly sad, but also intriguing.
This is a picture of my wife Silvia when she was a child growing up and living in Romania in the late 70’s.
To me, I can see the beautiful woman she is to become and the future wife and mother she is now.
But at the time the situation was heart-breaking.
Silvia’s mother died due to suspected complications after giving birth to Silvia. Silvia has no memory of her birth mother. Her step-mother was an abusive nightmare of a woman who physically and emotionally beat her and her siblings.
Living in Romania in the 70’s and 80’s during the height of the Cold War was tough. Long lines for basic foods, never knowing if you had enough to feed the family, central heating which was turned off overnight, travel restrictions and secret police always watching.
Silvia’s father was imprisoned for 3 years for trying to flee Romania, but he was caught. So the family knew all too well the risks of trying to escape.
