Child Frozen in Time is a TLC special about the life of Brooke Greenberg, a 16-year-old girl who stopped growing and developing as an infant. The documentary features Greenberg, her family and a team of medical experts as they try to decipher what has caused her mysterious condition.
Brooke continues to wear diapers, and is pushed along in a stroller by her parents when out and about. She is not yet walking on her own, and still has not developed speaking skills. Her physical appearance has remained unchanged for at least the past decade. Although physicians are unsure about exactly how Brooke contracted this curious condition, the issue appears to be the result of a mutated gene that controls the aging and development process.
Although unquestionably different than others in her age group, Brooke does enjoy some of the same activities as other teens, such as shopping and listening to rock and roll tunes. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,538020,00.html
Brooke and her family were recently featured on The Tyra Show.
Child Frozen in Time aired on Sunday, August 9, 2009.http://tlc.discovery.com/tv-schedules/special.html?paid=2.1213.56095.0.0

Her case is unique, and scientists are researching her to determine if the fact that Brooke has not aged holds the secret to eternal youth. Her mental age is estimated to be 9-12 months old, and her physical size is that of a 6 month old. The video features Brooke's every day life of shopping trips in a stroller, rather than the normal activities you'd expect of a 16 year old.
Brooke Greenberg has presented more medical mysteries than just failing to age. She recovered spontaneously from 7 perforated ulcers, a brain seizure, a stroke, and when she was 4 she was diagnosed with a brain tumor that disappeared without treatment.
