Ratings and reviews

Good movie. Such a travesty of justice. It is NOT true that children never lie. In fact it is pretty common in custody battle cases for a parent to convince the children to accuse the other parent of sexual abuse. It wasn't long after the end of this fiasco that Michael Jackson was accused by the Chandler family. All lies as well. The father who was mentally ill and morally corrupt convinced his 13 year old son to lie about Michael. Michael settled the whole thing out of court because his advisors pushed him to just "get rid of the family". Bad move. Michael regretted it always. Point is that such false accusations are very very dangerous and can totally ruin and person's life.
