Article

Genie (feral child)

Portion used

A single small image or extract sufficient for the intended purpose without being excessive.

Low resolution?

The image is of a size consistent with fair use.

Purpose of use

To show a very well known photo of Genie after she was rescued.

Replaceable?

Genie first became notable after being discovered by California authorities, and this was the first publicly released picture taken of her after her rescue. This photograph of Genie was widely disseminated in the media at the time, and is the subject of commentary in numerous accounts of Genie and her case. For instance, Russ Rymer dedicates an entire page to describing the picture in his 1993 book, Genie: A Scientific Tragedy, and the 1994 NOVA documentary Secret of the Wild Child, the 2003 Body Shock segment on Genie, and chapter on Genie from the 2002 book Savage Girls and Wild Boys all prominently show this picture. Until the release of Rymer's magazine articles on Genie in 1992 this was the only publicly available photograph of Genie, which made it the most recognizable extant image of her; this remains the case today. Not only are Genie's current whereabouts undisclosed, making it impossible to get a current picture of her, but a picture of her today would be inadequate as it would not show her during the time she was most notable.

Other information

Use of the image is consistent with fair-use provisions.
