TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

pwpw63 I like Jill Clayburn and this is an important issue. However, it's one that has become something of a legal nightmare. I do not know if this particular case turned out to be accurate but I do know that in the climate of drama-driven media, most esp. by Fox, overly zealous prosecutors and unscrupulous politicians, the label of sex offender has become a catchall for men, mostly of all stripes, from the most pathetically harmless to a very small minority of truly dangerous people. The registry itself is bloated beyond belief, men's (mostly) lives have been destroyed, including their families (and children), losing jobs, having to move, some many times, becoming targets of vigilantes. An old man in Florida was murdered with a baseball bat and it was a case of mistaken identity. A young man in Maine was killed. He was 19 when he was placed on the registry because his girlfriend (who was 15) had a father who disapproved of the relationship. This young man and the girl later got married but the man who shot him was out to "get some sex offenders". Stories like this have happened all over the U.S. I am NOT saying there aren't dangerous people out there but many of the so-called "child porn" cases have come from police internet stings that catch naive men, esp. younger ones, dumb/pathetic ones downloading "bundled" porn not realizing there are"Tracy Lorde types" in there...14, 15 yr. old teens who look older. The modern day witch hunt for child predators has caught many in its' indiscriminate bloated net that are not dangerous people, esp. not dangerous to small children. If you care about justice,learn the facts: .. Sex offenses are the EASIEST crimes to falsely accuse someone of. Many prosecutors call them "easy wins". ... ...

GeoPierpont I lived near the infamous McMartin Daycare and recall the controversy on the investigation, litigation, and long lived disparaging aftermath. I found it tedious and hard to find faith with the legal process. I was most relieved to find this story more redeeming. However, it is very hard to watch without many strong negative emotions.If you have had experience with a pedophile then I suggest you avoid this film, unless you have been successful in therapy and the memories have a lesser impact. The child actors in this film are incredibly mature to portray victims with fear, shame and horror. I hope they were treated well during this agonizing process. Then, you realize there were the actual victims whom one hopes recovered from this abuse. I pray that they have.When someone is so mentally ill, it is hard to pass harsh judgement, but it is necessary to prevent subsequent infractions and instigate laws to further protect future victims.I found it very educational to see how a professional can wield a child's darkest secrets. A parent most typically is deficient in this arena and poses a detriment to find help and recourse for their child. We definitely need this process more widely discussed and distributed.High recommend for strategies to deal with child sexual abuse, laws protecting child witnesses, and overall trust of due process for offenders.

deacon_blues-3 I haven't researched the background of this film, but it makes a powerful impact. I sincerely hope that all the parties who were found guilty were in fact guilty, because the only thing worse than the abuse of small children is the destruction wrought by false accusations about the abuse of small children.To strike some balance on this topic, I highly recommend the Danish film, "The Hunt" with Mads Mikkelsen.The other thing I came away with is the abject tragedy of our sexually obsessed society, of which this story is but one perspective. We are dealing increasingly with the dissemination of a worldview that sees the quest for personal sexual freedom as a very militant religious one. Nothing can be denied in the quest for personal sexual fulfillment, since it is replacing God as the only meaning that very many people believe is worth pursuing in life.The events of this story is a direct symptom of this growing worldview. It is still seen as the ugly side, the socially unacceptable dark side of the pursuit of sexual fulfillment. But as the religious zeal for sexual fulfillment grows and the values of the traditional family are relegated to obsolescence, we are sure to hear the call for greater acceptance for pedophilia in the name of love, freedom, and (of all things) education. It has long been the stance of pedophile organizations that what they do is both loving, and in the best interests of children's sexual progress toward maturity and fulfillment.As the LGBT political agenda gains momentum in our society, there will eventually be a follow- up movement to gain societal approval for pedophilia. The National Man-Boy Love Association was for a long time partnered with the LGBT front, but was jettisoned a few years back because the connection was hurting the LGBT movement politically. But we can be fairly sure that once the LGBT interests have made sufficient inroads, there will begin to be noise about the next step; acceptance for members of the NMBLA. Where we go from there God only knows.I hope we wake up and find our moral compass before that happens, but I am not optimistic, considering the current ubiquitous lack of moral and logical thinking on these issues.

Jay May I recently watched this on Netflix. So so sad and sickening. This upset me so much. Every parent should watch this movie. I am sure there are false allegations at times but every and I mean EVERY allegation of any type of abuse against a child should be so thoroughly examined to leave no doubt. Our children are far too precious. In these times we live in you can scarcely turn on the TV and not hear of some sort of crime against a child. It's frightening to hear it so often and is what makes this movie so disturbing. The fact that it did and can happen. Allegations of abuse should never be ignored or overlooked. I'm not going to give any details. I just wanted to say I consider this movie a must see. It will break your heart, sicken your stomach and make you very wary.
