She is not the only one in the world with this condition. I have a 28 year old granddaughter in London who hasn’t aged since age 2. However, she is perfect in every way. She has no deformities. Everyone who meets her believes she is 2 years old. Her parents keep her a secret to avoid exploitation. She talks and walks like a normal 2 year old. She plays with Barbies all day long. She has to keep making new friends because they all outgrow her. Every year she celebrates her 2nd Birthday with other 2 year olds. It’s truly a miracle!

Whatever got coded differently in her needs to be discovered before she dies and is lost forever. Yes its a nice story of family value, but she is a gift to the human race in more ways. It would be a great loss to not unlock that secret.

I read the Brooke Greenberg story a few years ago. I was more touched by it as with anything I have ever read. I am also curious and looking to see how she’s doing. But now that I realize their dilemma, I surely don’t blame them. I would suppose the mother and father are protecting their girl and themselves from having the public in their face. There are a lot of weirdos who would love to gawk at this once in a lifetime happening. Those parents are so sweet and loving. I was as impressed by them as I was with Brooke. Sweetest family. I think they just want their privacy. We wish them well.

Hi, I don’t think anyone is judging and I have no idea what would even suggest that. People want to know the truth before they expend emotion or even time on a subject. You must admit that this is a very unusual case, so unusual in fact that no other person has the same illness. Why then is it so hard to understand that people are a bit apprehensive about taking it as the GH. It is scary to think that people will beleive anything they see simply because it seems like a real news cast. What if this was fake and some poor child with a disability was being filmed and used to create a hoax? That seems much more disrespectful to the child than people wanting to know the truth of her circumstance. I give much more credit to someone who is willing to put in the time and energy to find out the facts than someone who will beleive anything that they see or hear. Take it as a compliment that so many people care about this little girl. They just simply want to know that the person they are caring about is real.

I also agree with Rick Moran and Paula M. After reading the article, I in no way felt that Rick was belittling or making fun of the situation. And he has a valid point of asking weither or not this was a hoax. I think Hale jumped to conclusions when posting. Perhaps Hale is a bit too sensitive and tends to take things the wrong way. And Paula’s right about there being so many hoaxes out there these days. Need I remind anyone here of the whole “Prophet Yahweh” incident in Arizona…(or nevada?…can’t remember now.)….which was aired on news brodcasts for weeks?

I agree with Rick Moran. Lets get logical about this, and stop to read, what is originally being said, then come to conclusions..opinions…etc. How tiring it is that no one can comment, or question anything in this given world, without righteous indignation…martyrdom
ad nauseum. No one was attacking, or belittling…or making fun of Her parents..and especially Brooke Greenberg. There is so many hoaxes out there in the real world that people have to be careful nowadays for what they are told..or read..or see, and when something disappears when we you want to check on this young girl’s life…or maybe help…there was nothing to find all of a sudden.

Excuse me but I took both those dingbats to task because they obviously did not read the post.

If you are going to criticize, fine. But at least have the wits to read the article before you insult me.

K. Hale accused me of making fun of the girl in the post. Where? Also in the article I explain why there was a question as to whether or not the story was real. Ignored by Hale.

Similarly Kelsey accuses me of saying it was a hoax. A simple reading of the article would have disabused the dingbat of any such notion. By reading the entire post - which was updated over a two day period - she would have discovered that I took the trouble to email WMAL about the story. That TV station then emailed me back saying the story was not a hoax.

Someone please tell me why I have to use my comment section to explain what any 7 year old should be able to read above?
