This story is based on true events
Do not you swallow it through.
Swallow.
If so. Swallow you. Stop that.
Stop it and do what I say.
Cancer, June 21 ...
until 20th of July.
It is now time for a change.
Are you happy now? Here, plug it in.
Better like this ?
Small jobs you've delayed ...
Now you need ...
Are you happy now? Have your sense?
All small jobs ...
you have delayed, you do now ...
no longer be postponed.
You promised me something.
Do you remember ?
After twelve, we should seek help.
Billy, get up. - Where is it again for?
He'll kill me, you know.
Tell him that we loved when you woke up.
And how did you get away? You can nothing.
Invent but an excuse. - Where should you live?
Welfare department.
I'll call you right back.
Are the blind helped here? - No, if you walk back a bit ...
Can you point me to walk with me? I stare ...
and told me that I can get a benefit.
Who is that girl ? - That's Katie, my daughter.
How old are you ? - In April, she fourteen.
The parents of a 13-year-old girl ...
are accused of serious child abuse.
The girl, who is severely malnourished ...
until her thirteenth trapped by her parents.
The girl has never learned to speak ...
and therefore it is also known as the wild child.
Why did you do it? - She's a victim of her husband.
Where is the girl now?
Where was that girl stuck to the toilet?
Everybody up.
You may be seated.
You are accused of serious neglect of a minor.
I am innocent.
the world will never understand
She's gorgeous. I did not expect that.
I do not know what I expected.
Stan heard her a few colors, 'mama' and 'love to' say.
That's what I heard her say.
Those words probably knew them before they were imprisoned.
She's almost fourteen, so the critical period is over.
How do you mean ?
If a child before puberty has not learned a language ...
it never learns to talk.
She is not yet in puberty ...
but that will not last long.
I do not want you begin similar testing.
You should get to know her first and to gain her trust.
Unless you want to retire course immediately.
Like his hair? What color is that?
Do you know what color it is?
Dat is rood. Jou haar is bruin en mijn haar is grijs.
Weet je nog wie ik ben ? Ik ben dokter Glazer.
Ik heb vandaag een vriendin meegenomen. Haar naam is Sandra.
Heb je het wilde kind ontmoet ?
Tijd om op te staan.
Ken je Miss Tannen nog ? - Goedemorgen.
Ik wil je iets laten zien.
Denk je dat jij dat ook kunt ?
Oké, Katie. Kijk goed hoe ik het doe.
Zie je wel ?
Ze kreeg nooit de tijd om te kauwen. Ze wacht tot het in haar mond verteert.
Hoe gaat het, moppie ? Ik heb een cadeautje voor je.
Hoe wist je dat ze dat wilde ?
Dat zei ze. - Is dat zo ?
Niet met zoveel woorden, maar ze zei het toch.
Hoeveel ballonnen heb jij ? - Vier.
En jij, Wesley ? Hoeveel heb jij er ? - Drie.
Kijk nog eens goed naar je ballonnen. Zijn het er drie of zijn het er twee ?
Dankzij Katie zijn het er nu wel drie.
Heel goed.
Again.
I never proposed to me you. I'm Sandra Tannen.
I know who you are.
It's funny what this hospital is doing to get subsidy.
For that money they can hire Noam Chomsky.
They prefer to pick a postgraduate student of the university.
They were looking for someone with no family obligations.
And no experience.
Do you really think you can learn to talk to this child?
I'll just observe how they acquire language.
That's a big difference.
You'll get busy with observing.
This girl is going to make me famous. I'm the new Annie Sullivan.
Did she say that? - I swear.
Did she not taught Helen Keller? - Indeed.
She is a very good teacher, I've seen it myself ...
but something telling you openly?
I know Judy is a strange, but she does her job well ...
and she means it too well.
I hope you're right.
Would you like another cup of coffee? - I do not think so.
Did you know that your brother has moved?
I just do not know where. Maybe he did not say it.
Can I talk to you ? - Of course.
Would you excuse us?
Nobody told me that they would be in today.
Is it better that I ask her anything? - You did well estimated.
You know it frustrates me? We know almost nothing about her childhood.
This woman can really tell us much.
The last time they spoke, they ended up in prison.
Remember that it is also a victim.
Do not you know why? I ask this as a human being, not as a scientist.
I want to know why she let herself abuse.
If you are patient, answer your questions.
Het ziekenhuis wil haar een staaroperatie aanbieden.
Als teken van goede wil. - Inderdaad.
Het is belangrijk dat Katie haar moeder ziet.
Ze is een stukje van haar verleden.
Vind je het fijn om even weg te gaan ?
Wat is er ?
Ze is aan het masturberen.
Ik pak het wel.
Wat heb je daar, Katie ? - Groen.
Dat is groen, ja. Goed zo. Dit zijn doperwten.
Doperwten. - Goed zo.
Goed zo, doperwten.
En dat is maïs. - Maïs.
Rustig. - Katie, kom hier.
Ik wil je iets laten zien. Laat die meneer maar met rust.
Rust ? - Wat goed van je.
In de speelgoedwinkel keek ze naar strandemmertjes. Ze is dol op plastic.
Toen we er een voor haar kochten, zei de caissière: Wil ze er nog een ?
Die dame die net de winkel uitliep, heeft er ook een voor haar gekocht.
Het gekke is dat Stan en ik de hele tijd bij haar in de buurt waren...
and she did not talk to anyone.
Paid the phone bill?
Actually it is not so surprising.
She has to make a different form of communication own.
It is fascinating to see how people react to her.
What are these?
Eye. - Well done.
You also have eyes. Where are your eyes?
These are the eyes of Miss Bingham.
Look at this. It seems that she is blind.
She also walks like a blind person.
Like they scan the ground with her feet because they do not look good.
In Antarctica you can properly study the effects of social isolation.
I have been there three summers. There is a mountain named after me.
She wakes up.
She's terrified. Can I get away with? - She is so asleep again.
If you lock someone, you can see effects after fifteen minutes.
So I expect that we will find her severe abnormalities.
Where are you going ? - I'm her reassure here.
You got the coke generation.
No that is not allowed. I know it's not comfortable.
Go snuggle, sweetheart. I will sing a song for you?
Well done.
Sandra crazy.
This is very interesting.
See how these peaks all come together?
This indicates that she was born mentally retarded.
So she said: 'Sandra crazy. Unbelievable.
She said for the first time my name ...
and also in combination with another word.
That is not to say that Lacey is wrong.
But not that he is right.
He said you also see peaks in boys who are newly circumcised.
They talked when she was 16 months. Do not handicapped children.
I try not to be biased. I look at the facts.
Would you recall your dog?
Beach Bucket nice.
I know you beach buckets like. I know.
Bucket nice. - And you buckets also beautiful.
But why is a beach bucket and this is a normal bucket?
They look the same.
Are we again notes making?
Would you sleep with me tonight at home? - What do you say ?
Dr. Glazer's okay. She is not a scientific toy.
It's time she goes to a regular house.
Do you not remember what you said?
Miss Katie Bingham finds sweet. They found Katie the sweetest in the world.
She's still asleep.
I can take a message.
You are kidding me.
Who is that ?
Katie is quarantined by Judy Bingham.
Judy has rubella. Katie can also be infected with.
They can not infect the other children.
I do not believe it.
I've seen her and she's really something.
That she certainly. She Katie.
Take it as quiet.
We were going only we do it at home Judy.
Will the door open to do?
The door.
You can even bypass and open the door?
The door.
Would you open the door?
Open the door.
Come on, sweetheart. Open the door.
Sorry, I was not tasty.
Sandra had certainly wait.
How are you, Judy? - Much better, thank you.
What did you learn many new words.
Shop is her favorite word. She calls each building, a shop.
To shop.
If Ms. Tannen would also, I think it's good.
We go.
You can even just watching TV, but then you sleep.
It goes very well with her. You have a real talent for it.
I know how she feels. I was a sickly child.
I did have to have children, but it was not to be.
You've probably noticed that Katie likes to play with herself.
Yes of course. She does it in public.
Do you have stopped her? - Yes, but she has a mind of her own.
Children do what they have learned.
Not always. The tendency to speak is already present at birth.
Children do not talk when they are imprisoned by their parents.
Do you think the same applies to sexual urges?
That's not my field, but children also masturbate.
Would you like sugar?
Judy has accused me that I raped Katie.
Yesterday she told Katie I could take a walk.
When we returned, her Katie was confused by the wind.
Judy keek naar haar... - Ze is niet goed wijs.
Ik kan je niet vertellen hoe ik me voelde na die beschuldiging.
Ik zou haar nooit pijn doen. - Niemand gelooft haar.
Jij hebt Katie gered en je bent als een vader voor haar geweest.
Ik kan haar aanklagen wegens laster, maar de beschuldiging blijft.
Mensen blijven toch twijfelen. Ik hou echt van dat meisje...
maar ik heb weinig keus, ik zal me moeten terugtrekken.
Katie, de deur.
Niet weer.
Ik ben zo terug, Katie.
Wat is er aan de hand ?
Ik wil niet dat je Katie vandaag ziet.
Je bezoek vermoeit haar.
Sinds wanneer bepaal jij dat ? Je bent haar voogd niet.
Ik heb een aanvraag ingediend.
Ze mag bij mij blijven wonen tot de beslissing is genomen.
Je sluit haar af voor de buitenwereld. Zo is ze ook al opgegroeid.
First Stan York and now me. Do you want to kidnap her forever?
You know what this is?
And what is that ?
Stump nice.
Well done. I did not know you knew what a tree stump.
Okay, now this.
Am I interrupting ? - No, it is not.
I'm still the same as last month. More I can not do now.
Beverly and I have talked at length about the situation.
We want to be foster parents of Katie.
That's the best news I've heard in weeks.
It is not quite certain. Katie is hard work ...
and we have three children. - I get it.
I let myself be carried away by my enthusiasm.
I'm also the therapist Katie.
Beverly has worked with children, so they can help me ...
but I am also a researcher, so I have to find a balance.
I get it. I understand the dilemma for your state.
But I think it can work ...
and if social work is good, we want to try it.
You're forgotten.
I love you.
What should I say ?
Now, no. It's not over yet.
They will never have it as good to me.
And you will pay.
Every morning the same. - You forgot your lunch.
What are you doing ?
Do agree on that.
Look what I'm doing.
I'm so angry. Guys, I'm so angry.
I am so angry that I get a temper tantrum.
Harder, as well. Say: I am angry.
Katie angry. - Well done. Go jump.
This is certainly good for Katie, but you get sorry.
Jumper and say, I'm very angry.
I am very angry. - Well done. Discard the door but close.
You could be right.
Car mirror does.
The car has a mirror.
Do you have my brush? - Can not this wait?
She has a lot of stuff from me and scooped my patience is running a bit.
What shall we do now? - Sandra piano.
It's time for a concert. Allright then.
What do you want to hear ?
I'm really, really my best ...
but you forget that I'm in trouble.
We know perfectly well.
We request a number of Chopin.
I'm looking for just something I know.
I think this is the first time you see me with my own eyes.
You are much smaller than I thought.
Glad you're here, Mrs. Standon. - Louise.
Mama ice.
Do you want to drink something ? - I do not think so.
Lunch is almost ready. I made something delicious.
There she is. There is Katie.
Katie happy to see mom.
What did you think she runs so strange?
So you're from Oklahoma. - I used to live.
Have you ever seen a tornado? - Once.
I have a piece made of and I've discovered something.
They are also in Los Angeles. - I do not believe that.
Think about it. The warm air from Baja ...
and the cold air from the Sierra Nevada together cause a tornado.
He has talent for physics. - What did you say ?
What should you do before you want to grab something?
You should ask first.
Say: Can I please applesauce.
Go ahead.
Sure you can.
Pest her not. If they have nothing to say, they say nothing.
They had us in any case, thank you for the surgery.
We are not trying to blackmail her.
I think she's just overwhelmed.
I do not know how I would react if I came to strangers ...
where a strange woman behaves like the mother of my child.
She feels solid powerless.
Morning, Katie.
Get up, breakfast is ready.
It's finally happened. - How do you mean ?
Where we were waiting.
Beverly has also already explained that you really do not need to be afraid.
What happened, happens every woman. Also me and Beverly.
It means that you are a big girl.
It will be fine.
She just potty trained and now they already menstruating.
You have to look at the positive. The critical period is over.
Everything is included Katie teaches now.
The advantage is that we can see whether the correct Lennenberg theory.
It is not a theory, but a hypothesis.
Katie will prove otherwise. Just wait and see.
All are silent. I want to tell you something.
Today we have a new girl in class.
She's a little older than you are ...
but she has never been to school.
I want you to be extra nice to her. Is that clear ?
Ja, Miss Brill.
Children, this is Katie Standon. And what do we say to Katie?
Go sit down. - Come sit.
This is Kurt.
He knows where you are, so should look do not worry.
We were her only release after two minutes.
What did the bus driver think? - He was great. Nice guy.
Did I mention that the one piece? - Several times.
I told Katie I would take him if I was free.
But you are not free. - Sorry.
I see Katie course often and they can be a real flirt.
They can be quite playful. You'll see it sometimes.
She can bask in the mood she's at that time.
It is a miracle. It is a great miracle.
Is something wrong ?
Since you work with Katie, you have nowhere else to talk about.
So I'm boring you. - You extols her just on.
You keep saying I have met her once.
I do not want you to be disappointed. Nobody is perfect.
I will say nothing more about it.
"Where can I ten cents?"
Does that sound like a question?
A question.
Now I want you to very well do your best.
I'm terribly sorry. At the hospital they told ...
Dit is Eleanor... - Schultz.
And this is Dr. Tennison of the ...
The institute for public health.
I thought you'd come to my office.
This is where the most work with her, or not?
Do not spit on the floor. You know that Beverly does not want.
Toys for coal.
With coal she means the cellar.
Sometimes we use her toys as a kind of disciplinary ...
Will I even around?
The spoon belongs here.
They spent an hour looking at my tires and you know what they said:
"How's your investigation?" That I showed you?
They did not tidy enough.
Since they pay for?
They just come and expect that everything is perfect.
Mom, can you help? - Here we go again.
Think we lose the money for the research?
They also know how important this is.
I should explain my research.
What is that ?
Kurt loves Katie.
Miss Brill, Katie draw dirty pictures.
Why did you do that ?
Very angry.
What's wrong with you?
I will not hurt you. You know that, right ?
What is wrong with you?
Tell it to me.
I rarely went to the beach. Wes took me with nowhere to go.
He was not gentle, huh?
Katie said something.
She said, and these were her exact words:
Father saves big stick.
Do you know what they mean by that?
Wes did not like noise.
Therefore, he did not want children.
And Katie was sometimes ...
They made noise.
Wes had a ...
a big stick in her room as she was troublesome.
How often does he hit her? - Not so often.
He got her down in other ways.
As ? - He growled.
He growled.
If a dog.
Was she still in there? - Otherwise he would not do it.
Those people who Katie is at home, do not think much of me.
I would not say.
Why can not I get to her home?
Why should we agree here if I want to do something with Katie?
They think that it is hard for you ...
to see Katie with her foster parents.
They try to keep your account.
Come on, Katie. Imagine me a question.
No matter what, just ask something.
Dark. - That's because it's late.
If you ask a question, we're done.
Nearby Kurt comes Thursday.
Is that your question? Nearby Kurt took me on Thursday?
Dark.
Well, we stop.
I told you that you want to meet a friend of mine?
There you have it.
Rise.
This is Katie. Katie, this is Rob.
Where are you going ?
That's very beautiful. - She made it.
Really ? - I sew dress.
She has learned from Beverly. - Rob wants cracker?
She asks if you want to eat something. Make it a question of once.
I true cracker.
I'd like a cracker with your food.
What are you doing ? - Go back to sleep, Rob.
Can not it wait until tomorrow? - Please, go to bed.
She keeps stabbing. I do not think they are making progress.
The vocabulary is available ...
but below the level of children in kindergarten.
They can not make sentences that are grammatically correct.
She is very behind in development.
"I love sewing" is "Sewing love me. '
Even if she does her best, she does not ...
Conscious. I understand what you mean.
It strikes me how effective it is when she is not dependent on language.
She finds another way to express themselves.
She is very good with her hands. Maybe we can do something with it.
We try again.
I go tomorrow...
With two fingers.
I go to the dentist tomorrow.
Again. I'm going...
to the dentist tomorrow.
Say something to Sandra. What do you say to her?
Katie loves Sandra.
Sandra loves Katie.
Have you long been home?
They give no more money for research.
The Institute for Public Health.
I said so to Norm that he was working on his research.
How do we go with Katie?
The Glazers have already found a new home for her.
Where ?
Your room is ready.
Want to see it?
Do not worry, Katie.
It's brand new.
It is delivered this morning.
Is he gone now?
I'll go get something to eat.
You will see that nowhere could be better taken care of Katie.
Mrs. hard dit is Sandra Tannen.
She has worked with Katie.
I might go back to her work
I'll probably get a scholarship for the study.
Ken je Peter Chang?
No, that name does not ring.
Let tomorrow make an appointment to see the home.
Nice to meet you.
Nice woman. What does she do?
I know you miss Beverly. She misses you too solid.
Look. There has ever made such a beautiful drawing of me.
You can also make such a beautiful drawing of Rob?
He can also see how well you can draw.
You do not put in a home Katie?
I have no choice.
She spits on my clean floor and slam the door.
She's always on her genitals.
Did they never used.
She could not.
I thought I could take care of her.
Katie has many problems.
I did not know it was so bad.
You know what I would do if I were you?
I would ask if they can be placed in a foster home.
In a nice couple whose children have left home ...
or whose children can help.
I'm not like her in a home. That's way too impersonal.
She needs love. The love of a family.
Let's pray together.
What did I just say?
pray together.
Our Father, we thank you for the food that you have given us.
We pray that You watch over us as we execute Your Work.
You may not use sign language.
If you want to say something, say it. We do not understand sign language.
That goes for you, Katie.
My brother died in Vietnam.
He stepped on a bomb and blew up.
Blown up.
You can not jewelry to the church. Give your necklace to me.
Stop that. We'll be late. - Very very angry.
And now it's enough.
Where's the girl? - She moved.
Is she good? - Yes of course. Very well.
If our famous linguist is not.
You're really famous, you know?
I read your article. What was it again?
The linguistic development of today's wild child.
Catchy title, but a bit insulting to Katie.
You claim that Katie can not formulate grammatical questions.
That is a lie.
When she lived with me she could make interrogative sentences.
How dare you say that her father hit her as she used her voice.
That's not science, that's speculation.
I will cut a banana for you? - No banana.
Colleen, I must sugar?
I will go with her to the bathroom.
Wait a second.
I'm going to grab something to clean this up.
I do not want her mother comes to visit.
Why not ?
Because she looks forward to it.
Als je tot haar door wilt dringen, moet je haar iets ontnemen.
Hebben ze u niet verteld dat ze een nare voorgeschiedenis heeft ?
We hebben nog twee van die pleegkinderen.
Die eten hun eigen braaksel ook niet. - Dat doen beesten.
Vertel nog eens iets over Kurt. Ik wil meer over hem weten.
Ik heb het gehoord van je ongelukje.
Wil je erover praten ?
Ben je bang dat je moet braken ?
Hou je daarom je mond dicht ?
Gebruik dan maar gebarentaal.
Dat mag niet van Mr. Manning. - Mr. Manning kan de pot op.
Zeg maar niet dat ik dat gezegd heb, anders straft hij Katie.
Ik beloof het.
Zeg iets tegen me.
Alsjeblieft, zeg iets tegen me.
Als je het met eigen ogen ziet, snap je wat ik bedoel.
Neem haar weer op in het ziekenhuis. Dat pleeggezin is afschuwelijk.
We moeten haar daar eerst weghalen.
I exaggerate absolutely not. This is a crisis.
Does he do anything about it?
He says so.
Please, you have to eat something.
If you eat nothing, you get sick. Come on.
Open your mouth but open. Sure you can. Well done.
Can I help you ?
I want to talk to the social worker of the Standon family.
Katie Standon.
Go look, you will see that they have to be transferred.
It's terrible. She does not eat or talk.
It is the problem, not the foster parents.
Do you have her history?
We're talking here about a unique child.
That's all of them. You see these files?
One lost his parents in a fire, the other raped.
And I feel sorry for all ...
but if you would study the history of this child ...
you will see that it is a class apart.
So you want us to make class distinctions?
Are you and Miss Tannen not married? - We have it planned.
But you have to live together. - Yes, we are living in sin.
Do not you want to see Rob?
He wants you or see you.
Katie hurts herself. They scratch themselves all the time.
She does it even at night. Bloody.
Let's see.
Let me see. True ?
Five minutes. That's all I ask.
Five minutes of your time.
I know you and Beverly have had a very heavy ...
by taking Katie home.
Maybe you think I'm not appreciated.
But I certainly appreciated.
I understand that you do not want to get involved.
If I had another option, I would not ask.
If I were Dr. Sandra Tannen, I could get her out of there ...
and to the hospital.
But that title I have not.
You do not take her home.
I want you to help me, so they do not injure themselves.
If you could see how much damage has been done.
Please help her. I beg you.
There is no one else who helps her.
Nobody.
I am it. Calm down.
When I heard what was happening, I removed her equal.
Very good of you.
Amanda, this is Sandra Tannen.
Amanda is on welfare. She takes over Katie.
Pleasant.
It looks at how they treated other two girls.
I would prefer that they be removed there.
That takes time, but the two we've found that one new family.
Katie is the problem, you know.
This should not happen again. - My idea.
I do not know what you think, but you will not take Katie home?
Who me ?
You have a good relationship and know each other for a while.
You know exactly what she needs.
I do not think there is anyone who understands her so well.
It is normal...
She asks a lot of attention, I know.
It's not just her, but also to us?
How can you finish your studies if you have to look after Katie?
I've been thinking about.
Practically this is a very bad idea.
But you take it into consideration anyway.
Sorry, wrong room.
She was transferred. - to another hospital?
I do not know. - What you do not know.
She transferred this morning. That's all I know.
Who has ordered to?
She was accompanied by her mother.
She's not here.
Where is she ? - In one place that I have chosen.
Do not tell me what's good for Katie. You do not know.
I came all this way. Can I please talk to you?
You could not leave her alone.
Say it is not so, Katie. Say so.
The tests to do. Therefore, they do not thrived at the Mannings.
Because you got them really upset.
That is not true.
Katie loved the work we did.
Even if I did not feel I had to get to work with her.
You had taught herself.
You did not see her as a human being ...
but as a science project.
I had her as well necessary.
From the first moment I saw her.
You will not see her anymore.
If you come near her, I'll call my lawyer.
And that goes for the Glazers and Dr. York.
She's my daughter.
I decide what happens to her.
She thinks I have abandoned her.
Can I please say goodbye?
You can not. You can nothing.
Go back where you came from and stay there.
I've always wanted to ask something, but it did not seem appropriate.
Why ?
Why did your husband locked Katie?
I can not tell you. - Can not or will not it?
How can I tell you something I do not understand myself?
Nobody knew Wes ...
only his mother might.
This was her home.
When Katie was small, we were as common here as at home.
It seemed like they came out of the Wild West.
They ran a public house.
Even later in life she always wore a gun.
Wes was just adore her.
He loved her more than me.
She seems like a personality. - That she was.
Wes never recognized her death.
It happened right outside.
She went out to buy some ice cream.
She was hit by a car.
She died instantly.
She was buried a week or even Wes moved us here.
Wes did not change her bedroom ...
So we slept in the living room.
Everyone but Katie. She got the back room.
It was almost as if Wes wanted to give her something special.
It sounds like he's feelings for his mother projected on Katie.
What do you say ? - I did not want to...
Continue.
I went with Katie to the doctor. She was often sick after her birth.
He said he thought Katie was mentally retarded.
Wes said we got back it if the doctors would see her.
He said they were to be no older than three.
She was getting older ...
I was always seen worse.
Wes so cared for her.
I knew she needed help, but Wes ...
He always walked with the gun from his mother.
He has committed suicide note.
He did it in this room.
Sometimes I hear in the night ...
cracking the floor.
And I could swear that Wes is walking around with that gun.
He wanted to protect her ...
like a princess trapped in a tower.
Wes did not trust doctors ...
and I'm just so start thinking about as he.
Since when is this? - Since your article.
needed to know how you are the mother of Katie.
I did not have much to say. My objections were supported.
There is nothing wrong with that article. You searched for a reason ...
to recover Katie.
I can not get her welfare because you're up against me.
Even after all these years ...
I hope that I will ever see Katie again.
When I think of it, I wonder what I would say to her.
Even though it was not my fault, I want to apologize ...
so they know it was not her fault.
Then I ask who they interact, what they do ...
and if she is happy. Of course I hope she says yes.
I still wish I could give back everything she had lost.
But I know that's not possible.
I can only focus on the things I have in hand.
And that goes for all of us.
Judy Bingham remained on the team of Katie harassment
