I saw this movie before on Lifetime. That boy was quick on his feet calling the abuse helpline. I just wanted to strangle the father although he was just an actor. Child abuse is so wrong and I hate it when social services get abusive too when they take away kids from safe families. Damn the world is fucked up I wish I had the opportunity to save an abused child? :'(
My mom's stupid accuse for not leaving her boyfriend was bec she had no money and with him not allowing her make friends, she had no where to go! So she just let him beat us until I was 12 and moved in with my dad. So that was 7 years of hell if you ask me!
Having those parents die, is way to easy. I think the father should be buried alive, and the mother should be beaten, with someone watching, and not helping. -_- I hate child abuse... It makes me sick. </3
my son is my life. his teachers are always complimenting on how well behaved and gentle natured he is. i would hit him. he has shown me children are natruly pure, good and want nothing more than love and approval from there parents. they are good by nature and need only gental yet firm guidance to lead them not violence not fear just a hand to hold and guide them
Screw what the old generation people say, if my husband beats me and my kids Imma punch that monster's lights out, get my babies outta the dump and report him to the proper authorities!
I just saw t he last half of the movie, sorry I missed the 1st half. These women did a lot. Adults can surely screw up, some it's not a screwup, but just doing what they do. Sad state of affairs.
In my own state of NC, we had Zahra Baker, Shaniya Davis and Jadon Higganbothan; all children killed by parents, step parents or others who should have loved and protected them. These are just a few of the high profile cases from the past year or 2.
@usaruss I'm from NC also & I remember Shaniya Davis I lived not too far from where she lived. That was terrible what happened to her, I heard they had to keep moving her mother because people were trying to kill her. Child Abuse is wrong on any level. I'm not with it at all :(
The only ones who deserves beating from a bastard like that, is the fucking cunts like this BITCH!!! They are more guilty than the fathers. DISGUSTING!
@lelib2007 What is there to think about? Your child is being beaten terribly by your husband what should you do? Call the damn police and then press charges against him and get your son help before the cycle continues.
@orlandobabe it happened in my family too. My father would hit, lock us up verbally abuse us and my mom would just watch. I guess it s because she was also abused.
. . . She called CPS, but no one would help. They just bought the crappy story he gave them and they left. If you ever have to deal with this, or have a friend dealing with this, remind them that only the police can actually come and take the children away. CPS can only investigate and then leave, either call a hotline, or 911.
In 8th grade, my teacher asked us to do a report on a movie that changed our lives. I did mine on this. It was so bad that my entire class, guys included, were in tears. Everyone kept asking me to look into it further to see if Jacob ever had to see his parents again. I was too afraid to. After I watched this, I found out that one of my friends went through similar abuse when her parents divorced. Her mom couldn't take her from her abusive dad though, or it would be kidnapping . . .
first of all this is a movie and whats up with you people swearing at the actors , THERE ACTORS THEY ARE JUST DOING WHAT THEY'RE TOLD SWEAR SOMEWHERE ELSE GODDD!
@MissMaddy881 OMG...I know. I saw him in either the Hallmark movie The Good Witch's Garden or The Good Witch's Gift and he looked older and I was like "Damn...he grew up and he looks good" lol
I was taken away from my birth mom cause of her abusive boy friend she chose him over me and my sister. My sister and I were blessed to get away our Grandma/our birth mom's mom called child protective services.
I was taken away from my birth mom cause of her abusive boy friend she chose him over me and my sister. My sister and I were blessed to get away our Grandma/our birth mom's mom called child protective services.
After watching this I couldn't eat or sleep! I was sick for days. All I could think about was some child being abused for nothing! I'm lucky I never grew up with parents being abusive.
What sort of monster burns their kid with an iron, thats evil. That poor little boy. As a Mother of a young daughter I am finding parts of this film really sad.
"Because parents have power over children. They feel they have to do what their parents say. But the love of money is the root of all evil. And this is a sweet child. And to see him turn like this, this isn't him. This is not him."
@sonicangel15 I love Michael Jackson. And I don't care what anyone says, he did not molest anyone. If you watch his interviews about it, you can tell the man is telling the truth.
@KierstenBree Indeed. I mean, hell, he was proven innocent of all ten charges just to prove money-pilfers that he didn't do any of that bullcrap to children.
I saw this movie twice on Lifetime Movie Network, and it makes me sad to see children, like Jacob, endure all the physical, emotional--even sexual--abuse. What kind of parent(s) would tie the child to his bed, burn him with a clothes iron, and bury him alive when he doesn't do what he's told? It's one thing to chastise a child for not following instructions, but when parents beat the crap out of him that's going too far. If my husband were to lay a finger on my children, I would file for divorce
@sonicangel15 thankyou..me too!!...Seems tho` i`m chastised for my "views" on the matter////
Personally i think ppl should wait until THEY also have kids ,to understand how strong your feelings are for your children ,not brow beat you for being protective of your own ,and hating anyone ,like this person ,who could hurt such an innocent and trusting little child...
That mother is just as fucking bad as the father. Telling the kid to come out and take it because it's worse to hide is just as bad as hitting him--she should've taken him away and protected him. Bitch.
Agreed I would never even consider being with a guy that finds it OK to abuse a child. it's NEVER ok...3minutes into the film i'm already pissed of at these useless mothers...lol
No child should ever have to endure this! The father is absolutely a monster! I'm equally as disgusted with the mother. How can you just stand by and do nothing when someone is attacking your child?! What happened to doing anything and everything in your power to protect your child!?
cont...This definitely made me tear up. I couldn't imagine someone hurting me as a child and my mom doing nothing. Even as I am now a twenty-two year old woman she would still do anything in her power to protect my brother and I.
@vrt2005 that is all so easy to say. I also think you should protect your child but these family structures are so messed up that the women "have their reasons" not to do what we would do. It's just not the physical abuse, there is so much fear and often dependency. You really should be careful with saying things like you're disgusted by a mother like this in real life. I hope you get my point. I mean, i feel the same way you do.
@vrt2005 You don't know that father so you have no right to call him a monster. Sure, it's a horrid thing for a kid to have to endure, and I'm not trying to make light of it, but everyone has some problems. Some people cheat in business, others gossip, lots of people lie, some people are agoraphobic, etc. That doesn't make them bad people, just means it's something wrong with them, something they need to fix. It's no excuse for hurting anyone else, your own kid or not, but it doesn't make
(continued from previous) them a bad person. You don’t know what that father is like the rest of the time. I think you’re almost as bad as some of those people because you’re stereotyping. I am very close to people who have been abused by their parents and they still don’t think their parents are bad people, or monsters. Learn before you speak.
@CAW86 With everything that you have written it appears to me as if you are making light of the abuse of the child. If I abused a child anytime they did something to make me angry but the other times I treated them good I don't think it would soften the blow that I abuse them. In those instances when the child is being abused I would be a monster in my opinion. I also have people very close to me who had abusive parents and they don't view their parents as bad people but some of them do.
@vrt2005 Well, if that's how it appears to you, then that is how it appears to you. I can assure that I am not making light of the abuse. I said nothing about the abuse being one way or another, all I said was that you don't have a right to call the father a monster. As you said yourself, some don't view their parents as bad people - everyone has done bad things but that doesn't make everyone a bad person, and since you don't know the guy, who are you to say that he is or isn't?
@CAW86 Do you actually HAVE kids urself?? I`m sorry ,everybody is entitled to their own opinion ,but for heavens sake!This bully ,this cowardly SOB ,who can only pick on a young defenseless child ,ties the poor boy up ,then beats him??
MONSTER isn`t a strong enough word for this guy ,and those like him!!
Someone EVER laid one finger on one of MY kids ,they`d be truly sorry i can promise you!!!
@mumof3girls09 I get and I got it. You don't know me and you don't know him. You don't know where I've come from and what all I've "gotten". I'm glad you would do anything to protect your kids. When I have kids I'll do the same. My father would do anything to protect me (as this kid's father probably would). But that doesn't mean they wouldn't beat their own. Congrats on being from a happy family. Live in an "unhappy" one before you talk about it like you think you know it.
@CAW86 You know ,i don`t quite understand where you`re coming from?
You say your father would have done anything for you ,yet I shouldn`t REBUKE this man for what he did to his child??WTD??
And ,no ,i don`t KNOW you ,Anymore than u know me!I HAVE suffered asbuse at the hands of a man ,but by hell he wouldn`t have laid ONE finger on my kids ,`cos i`d have killed him first!
I`m sorry if you`ve had an unhappy childhood.And for anyone else who has..BUT that doesn`t mean I can CONDONE what this
@mumof3girls09 Dude, when did I say this was right? When did I say you should condone this? Never. All I said was that you have no right to call this man any names, monster or anything else. Hell yes his actions were atrocious but you don't know him and you shouldn't call him names. I never said I had an unhappy childhood - I like who I am now and even if there were bumps along the road, I wouldn't change it because it could change who I am today.
@CAW86 You`re condoning his behaviour by sticking up for the ^^^T...???
And ,i`m sorry ,but i`m just as entitled to my opinions as you!....ANY MAN/WOMAN who hurts a child ,deserves the title MONSTER ,as far as i`m concerned..
Sorry ,but you`ll never convince me ,that a man who abuses his child , has any REAL LOVE for that child...
A father who loves his child..TRULY loves his child ,will DO ANYTHING TO PROTECT and NURTURE him/ her.....he most definately would NOT do what this one did!!!
@mumof3girls09 You say you suffered abuse at the hands of a man. If the man was your father, you're entitled to your opinions as much as I am to mine. If it wasn't, then you don't know what it's like for your father to hurt you and so you have no right to say anything about whether those fathers are horrible people or not.
@CAW86 .WHY am i only entitled to an opinion if the man who was abusive to me was my father??That`s plain ridiculous!
Btw ,it most definately was NOT my dad....I wouldn`t have loved and adored him the way i did ,had he been anything like the person i did experience abuse from!
Also ,Blood is NOT always thicker than water!..I was teased at school for being adopted ,yet turned out to have the most loving and close relationship with both my A parents ,than any one of my peers!!!
@mumof3girls09 Dude, read what I wrote. I didn't say you weren't entitled to your opinion. I'm not arguing this with someone who doesn't know, who can't know, what they are talking about. Talk is cheap. You think what you want and I'll think what I want. It happens to be that I think you shouldn't go around judging people you have never met. Can you leave it at that?
"You say u suffered abuse at the hands of a man..IF the man was ur FATHER ,then ur entitled to your OPINION..If it wasn`t ,then u have NO RIGHT TO Say ANything about wether THOSE FATHERS R horrible OR NOT"!..Ok..READ IT?
You`re telling me ,in plain B&W ,that i`ve no right to my opinion ,just cos my father was a DECENT MAN WHO DIDN`T BEAT HIS KIDS?..THAT`S PLAIN CRAZY!
And ,i`m not trying to be argumentative.....just putting my view ,which everyone here has..
@mumof3girls09 PS - you don't know that you would not have loved and adored one way or another - what happened, happened, and nothing else so you cannot say you would have done this or that had things been different because they weren't.
Seriously ,what are u talking about now~~the fact I was ADOPTED ,and didn`t know my "birth parents"?Ok..My "views on this subject.
So as not 2 upset my wonderful adoptive parents ,i always maintained i`d not want 2 trace my B/M../F..Incase it hurt them.THEN I had my own 3 girls ,and I realised just how brave a decision my Birth mum made ,and how much she sacrificed for my future happiness??..Then i Knew if she were 2 contact me ,i WOULD want 2 meet her ,and thank her for the
@CAW86 Totally selfless thing she did...I realised ,after carrying my babies for 9 mnths ,then giving birth to them..loving them on sight ,that no way could I have been that brave or selfless....
I have the utmost respect for my birthmother....but ,the point I WAS TRYING TO MAKE WAS~~~YOU DON`T HAVE TO BE BLOOD RELATED TO HAVE THE DEEPEST BOND WITH UR PARENTS...
Your argument ,that no matter WHAT UR B/PARENTS DO 2 YOU ,IT`S BETTER " REMAIN WITH THEM ,THAN BE FOSTERED OR ADOPTED ETC..IS PLAIN
I have both friends who`ve been badly abused by their "NAtural" parents ,and have worked with children of abusers too....BY experience i`ve found that the only reason ,one in maybe 30% of children who`ll tell u their fine being with their Parents ,and how "great" these people are ,ARe children who are plain SCARED OF THESE SO CALLED "PARENTS"....And of what might happen if they TELL??
I have a dear friend ,who ,after yrs of terrible abuse ,now has multiple
@mumof3girls09 personality disorder..The people who were given the priveledge to be her "parents" ,totally abused it in every way possible..
She not only hates them ,and is petrified (even as an adult) to ever have any contact with either again,but now lives in constant turmoil and depression ,due to continuous abuse...
So i`m not just talking out my backside ,i`m talking from actual experience with these children (and the adults they`ve become)..
@mumof3girls09 Have suffered enough ,and i honestly feel very sad that you`ve had the abusive childhood that u so obviously have..
I think it best we just agree to both having different opinions ok??
(and i can tell u ,if and when u do have ur own children ,you will feel as strongly as every other parent who has written their view on this subject...Something this emotive is always bound to cause alot of strong opinions...
@CAW86 a lot of children like the one I used to be are suffering more because someone tells them they should love their parents no matter what and you should learn more before you preach too. My biological mother and father could be wonderful for other people and would appear ok...it just adds to the confusion because children do love their parents no matter what...until someone comes along and tells them that it's ok to be angry at their abusive so-called parents...stop giving abusers excuses.
@2BNobody You don't know me and you don't know where I came from and what happened between the me and the people who raised me. So don't tell me I'm preaching and don't tell me I have things to learn; you don't know what I know. My folks could beat the bloody shit out of me and I still love them only because they birthed me. Living with your biological parents, no matter how they treat you, is 95% of the time better than being in foster care or on the streets. Think before you argue.
No, no it's not. I was an abused child. My father and his wives (two in a row) beat me for most of my childhood. The horrors I suffered with them is something I will never forget. My mother is a raging emotionally abusive alcoholic. When I was finally taken out of those homes and placed in my grandparent's house as foster care, I was happy. I didn't have to worry about when the next beating would come or if I would have enough to eat. Biological parents are not infallable.
@monny287 I never said all were the same. Maybe I should not have said a percentage but what I was trying to get across was that folks shouldn't judge someone they have never met. You don't know what bad things "good" people have done and you don't know what good things "bad" people have done. If you don't know someone you have no right to call them anything - you can call their actions bad or good but not the person. You're lucky you had your family for foster care. All are not so lucky.
Yes, but there's a line. Anyone who willingly hurts a child is a bad person in my book. I can overlook a lot of things, but deliberately hurting someone much smaller than you and defenseless is unexcusable. You cannot honestly tell me that someone who beats their 5-year-old kid is really a "good person at heart". If he/she was a good person, they would have empathy and heart enough not to do it.

I saw this movie twice on Lifetime Movie Network, and it makes me sad to see children, like Jacob, endure all the physical, emotional--even sexual--abuse. What kind of parent(s) would tie the child to his bed, burn him with a clothes iron, and bury him alive when he doesn't do what he's told? It's one thing to chastise a child for not following instructions, but when parents beat the crap out of him that's going too far. If my husband were to lay a finger on my children, I would file for divorce

@sonicangel15 thankyou..me too!!...Seems tho` i`m chastised for my "views" on the matter////
Personally i think ppl should wait until THEY also have kids ,to understand how strong your feelings are for your children ,not brow beat you for being protective of your own ,and hating anyone ,like this person ,who could hurt such an innocent and trusting little child...

That mother is just as fucking bad as the father. Telling the kid to come out and take it because it's worse to hide is just as bad as hitting him--she should've taken him away and protected him. Bitch.

No child should ever have to endure this! The father is absolutely a monster! I'm equally as disgusted with the mother. How can you just stand by and do nothing when someone is attacking your child?! What happened to doing anything and everything in your power to protect your child!?

cont...This definitely made me tear up. I couldn't imagine someone hurting me as a child and my mom doing nothing. Even as I am now a twenty-two year old woman she would still do anything in her power to protect my brother and I.
vrt2005 1 year ago
@vrt2005 that is all so easy to say. I also think you should protect your child but these family structures are so messed up that the women "have their reasons" not to do what we would do. It's just not the physical abuse, there is so much fear and often dependency. You really should be careful with saying things like you're disgusted by a mother like this in real life. I hope you get my point. I mean, i feel the same way you do.
RoteFedern 1 year ago
@vrt2005 You don't know that father so you have no right to call him a monster. Sure, it's a horrid thing for a kid to have to endure, and I'm not trying to make light of it, but everyone has some problems. Some people cheat in business, others gossip, lots of people lie, some people are agoraphobic, etc. That doesn't make them bad people, just means it's something wrong with them, something they need to fix. It's no excuse for hurting anyone else, your own kid or not, but it doesn't make

(continued from previous) them a bad person. You don’t know what that father is like the rest of the time. I think you’re almost as bad as some of those people because you’re stereotyping. I am very close to people who have been abused by their parents and they still don’t think their parents are bad people, or monsters. Learn before you speak.
CAW86 1 year ago
@CAW86 With everything that you have written it appears to me as if you are making light of the abuse of the child. If I abused a child anytime they did something to make me angry but the other times I treated them good I don't think it would soften the blow that I abuse them. In those instances when the child is being abused I would be a monster in my opinion. I also have people very close to me who had abusive parents and they don't view their parents as bad people but some of them do.
vrt2005 1 year ago
@vrt2005 Well, if that's how it appears to you, then that is how it appears to you. I can assure that I am not making light of the abuse. I said nothing about the abuse being one way or another, all I said was that you don't have a right to call the father a monster. As you said yourself, some don't view their parents as bad people - everyone has done bad things but that doesn't make everyone a bad person, and since you don't know the guy, who are you to say that he is or isn't?

@mumof3girls09 I get and I got it. You don't know me and you don't know him. You don't know where I've come from and what all I've "gotten". I'm glad you would do anything to protect your kids. When I have kids I'll do the same. My father would do anything to protect me (as this kid's father probably would). But that doesn't mean they wouldn't beat their own. Congrats on being from a happy family. Live in an "unhappy" one before you talk about it like you think you know it.

@mumof3girls09 Dude, when did I say this was right? When did I say you should condone this? Never. All I said was that you have no right to call this man any names, monster or anything else. Hell yes his actions were atrocious but you don't know him and you shouldn't call him names. I never said I had an unhappy childhood - I like who I am now and even if there were bumps along the road, I wouldn't change it because it could change who I am today.

Sorry ,but you`ll never convince me ,that a man who abuses his child , has any REAL LOVE for that child...
A father who loves his child..TRULY loves his child ,will DO ANYTHING TO PROTECT and NURTURE him/ her.....he most definately would NOT do what this one did!!!
mumof3girls09 1 year ago
@mumof3girls09 You say you suffered abuse at the hands of a man. If the man was your father, you're entitled to your opinions as much as I am to mine. If it wasn't, then you don't know what it's like for your father to hurt you and so you have no right to say anything about whether those fathers are horrible people or not.

@CAW86 .WHY am i only entitled to an opinion if the man who was abusive to me was my father??That`s plain ridiculous!
Btw ,it most definately was NOT my dad....I wouldn`t have loved and adored him the way i did ,had he been anything like the person i did experience abuse from!
Also ,Blood is NOT always thicker than water!..I was teased at school for being adopted ,yet turned out to have the most loving and close relationship with both my A parents ,than any one of my peers!!!

mumof3girls09 1 year ago
@CAW86 a lot of children like the one I used to be are suffering more because someone tells them they should love their parents no matter what and you should learn more before you preach too. My biological mother and father could be wonderful for other people and would appear ok...it just adds to the confusion because children do love their parents no matter what...until someone comes along and tells them that it's ok to be angry at their abusive so-called parents...stop giving abusers excuses.
2BNobody 1 year ago
@2BNobody You don't know me and you don't know where I came from and what happened between the me and the people who raised me. So don't tell me I'm preaching and don't tell me I have things to learn; you don't know what I know. My folks could beat the bloody shit out of me and I still love them only because they birthed me. Living with your biological parents, no matter how they treat you, is 95% of the time better than being in foster care or on the streets. Think before you argue.
CAW86 1 year ago
@CAW86
No, no it's not. I was an abused child. My father and his wives (two in a row) beat me for most of my childhood. The horrors I suffered with them is something I will never forget. My mother is a raging emotionally abusive alcoholic. When I was finally taken out of those homes and placed in my grandparent's house as foster care, I was happy. I didn't have to worry about when the next beating would come or if I would have enough to eat. Biological parents are not infallable.
monny287 1 year ago
@monny287 I never said all were the same. Maybe I should not have said a percentage but what I was trying to get across was that folks shouldn't judge someone they have never met. You don't know what bad things "good" people have done and you don't know what good things "bad" people have done. If you don't know someone you have no right to call them anything - you can call their actions bad or good but not the person. You're lucky you had your family for foster care. All are not so lucky.
CAW86 1 year ago
@CAW86
Yes, but there's a line. Anyone who willingly hurts a child is a bad person in my book. I can overlook a lot of things, but deliberately hurting someone much smaller than you and defenseless is unexcusable. You cannot honestly tell me that someone who beats their 5-year-old kid is really a "good person at heart". If he/she was a good person, they would have empathy and heart enough not to do it.
