it be a shame this be base on a true story . i bet the real story would be so much more interesting . i felt no symapthy for anyone in this movie and except a little bit of concern for the boy . there be very little sensitivity throughout the entire movie . i be shock at the approach everyone take toward an obviously traumatized boy . it ocurred to no one that find a young boy murder might damage the kid . and that they try to reteach him how to talk and a if he never know how and instead of find the root of his distress . thrust him into environment where he be subject to taunt and torture and without a voice to fight back and apalled me . and that everyone seem to blame the troubled child without concern for his obvious distress . i bet the story could have be tell well . i hope the real story hasn not be tarnish because of an inadequate portrayal of it in a tv movie .
