i can't stop thinking about this movie

I know what you mean. I've just watched it and it makes me sick. Its so sad.
Stevens whole life was tragic.
I hope he's in a better place now.
And as for that pervert I hope he rots in hell, the sick *beep* I'm not usually like this so I apologise but it makes me so sad to think things like this are happening to children now and know one can do anything to help them :(

I know what you feel - I still think of this movie and I have seen it years ago. It's just so sad.

It was a very powerful film. And the irony is that Steve was killed in a motorcycle crash several months after it premiered. What did Timmy White die from?

This movie (and true life story) was quite disturbing but there have been much, much worse based on real-life movies made. Watch "An American Crime" starring Ellen Page and Catherine Keener. This has to be the saddest story I've seen.

The ATM told me to feed it a stray cat.
My brain will make you explode.

I'm 30 years old now and saw this movie when it first came out on television--so I was 7. And it broke my heart.

I haven't seen it since I was 7 but it stayed with me. I think I remember details from it, but I'm not sure if I could give a totally accurate account. **SPOILERS**I remember the kidnappers/pedophiles kidnapping him and taking pictures of him in the bathroom and I remember they kidnapped another kid too. And if I remember correctly he (actor Corin Nemec) had trouble telling the courts what was done to him.

And I remember as a kid he wrote his name on the garage door of his home and got caught before he could finish it. And when it ended in his death my heart broke all over again. I HATE that this happens to children. I think they say it happens to 6 out of 10 girls and 4 out of 10 boys, if I remember correctly. But I'm sure it's even more than that and just so many cases go unreported.

We live in a beautiful yet, unfortunately, sick, depraved evil world. Thank God for his son Jesus. He will right all the wrongs and show mercy to those who repent and ask forgiveness. The vilest of people can turn to Christ and if they are sincere and truly sorry and ask forgiveness they can be forgiven. Even though I am glad everyone can receive forgiveness from Jesus I still want child molesters to rot in jail, but they don't treat it as seriously as murder. But it is murder. The murder of a child's innocence. And it leaves so many scarred. But Jesus can heal those scars.

It's an incredibly tragic life and it's not fair, because it wasn't his fault.

Reminds me of another movie, Conviction, in which a man is wrongfully imprisoned for 18 years. What that film fails to mention though, is that the guy died in an accident six months after being released from jail. He didn't even get to enjoy his freedom.

I know what you mean. I only saw this movie once, on TV in 2005 when I was twelve or thirteen. It disturbed me so much. I don't know of any other movie that's distressed me as much as this one. I could honestly never watch it again Of course, the fact that it's a true story and that there was never real closure makes the whole thing more gut-wrenching.
