Officials in the Los Angeles suburb
of Arcadia
have taken custody of a 13 year old girl,
who they say, was kept in such isolation
by her parents,
that she never even learned to talk.
The girl still wore diapers,
and was uttering infantile noises,
when a social worker discovered the case
two weeks ago.
The authorities are hoping
she still may have a normal
learning capacity.
Among the first to see the child
was Temple City detective,
Sergeant Frank Linley.
