Children of the Snow

They blame the cops throughout this entire thing. So disgusting. That's no different than saying, "Where the hell were the parents?" Blame your law MAKERS, who are not only usually involved in the child sex trafficking rings, but also make it SO HARD for cops to catch and convict these people because the laws are so tight. Then throw in a bunch of ignorant people like this who are constantly blaming them and hating them for everything and it's a wonder why anyone would want to continue putting their lives (and the lives of their families) at risk to help people. The producer guy wanting to look like a hero, what a joke. Meanwhile he's using the files of the people who actually did the work and then blaming them. This is truly disgusting to watch. My condolences to the victims and their families. May God bless all of our amazing police, military and first responders.

The subject matter was interesting but 40% was repetitive and extremely slow moving. It began in an organized fashion and went off on tangents leaving the viewer unsure of what the connection was. Suspects were not clearly explained. The parents of these murdered children were not well serviced by the police or by the producers of this program.

Very informative but terribly produced. Painfully slow and repetitive. Could of been explain in two episodes.

The premise seemed interesting so I took on a chance on it because it was only two episodes. It turns out that even two episodes was too much, as about half the show is just repeating things they've already said a bunch of times. They also take the approach of declaring "this is who did it" and then switching to the next person, which makes the audience feel like they have been tricked. The better approach is "This is one of the suspects" and then go into detail. Also, the filmmaker seems determined to believe he was almost kidnapped by the killer when in fact all that happened was a guy may or may not have tried to abduct him and there's a very good chance it wasn't the killer. The worst aspect is the amount that the story jumps all over the place with the island of kids. It could have been the focus one time but instead the filmmaker brings it back up a dozen times. Really poor approach and execution.

Three long episodes that reveal NOTHING NEW!

There's a seemingly endless rehash of perhaps 20 minutes of actual information on the cases, followed by a lot of "could possibly" (sic!).

The possible leads are weaved into fantasy by biased points of view, with no actual proof.

It's easy to point fingers in hindsight: there was incompetency on the part of the police, but lets face it, there's incompetency in all trades, so no surprise there.

I did tear up at the lifelong pain the victims' parents endure knowing their children were kidnapped, raped for 4-19 days, and violently killed, but other than this emotional reminder, there is no reason for this documentary.

If there is a lesson to learn from all the gory crimes media loves to showcase it's that being vigilant is way better than trying to find a culprit after the fact.
