Child Frozen In Time

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

On March 3, 2008, it was announced that the Greenberg family had won a medical malpractice suit against Johns Hopkins Hospital, after it was found the child was left in a hallway unattended, and then suffered unexplained bruises, alterations to her medical records and more. The family was awarded $250,000.http://www.marylandmalpracticelawyers.com/2010/02/25000000-malpractice-verdict-against-johns-hopkins-hospital.html
