Though a low budget picture, No Child of Mine's gritty filmography, overly realistic acting, and depiction of graphic child abuse as well as self harm shows that this movie is something to applaud and be overly greatful for.
I cried through most of this movie. It was such a compelling story. What this poor girl went through with both her mother, father and all others around her was just terrible. It just floors me that someone might even think of putting their own children through this. Sad part is that it is no doubt happening somewhere in the world right now. It makes you want to hug your own children. I think this movie is a must see. Not for the faint of heart though! Does anyone know what is the name of the last song played in the movie? I have been searching for a few years now but I haven't had any luck in finding it. It was so haunting. If you know could you let me know. Thanks Lisa

"NO CHILD OF MINE"
10/10
I'll keep this as short as possible.
Todays date is June 21st,2019 the dates important because this film regardless of when it was released in '97 still packs the punch of modern cinema. Of course though me being a fan of older disturbing films and I've basically seen them all which would be a couple hundred from "Serbian film" to "120 days of Sodom" or even the "Guinea pig" series, theres always a few that slip through the cracks until they arrive in your purview and for me today it was "NO CHILD OF MINE" which is based on a true story about a 10yo girl from the U.K, who is abused played by. Brooke Kinsella. The job Brooke does playing Kerry is absolutely amazing I won't give away anything but when a movie such as this really opens your eyes to how sick, cruel and indifferent adults can be towards helpless children movies like this should be mandatory viewing and community outreach programs should triple in funding and volunteer assistance.
I personally vow to do more but just thinking how there could be hundreds or thousands of Kerry's wishing for someone to help them really tugs at my heart. So when evil people who are disgraceful, corrupt and unkind like what my country is dealing with from our current president, people have to realize what we are showing our kids and the trash they take in on a day to day basis will have disastrous and horrifying consequences not just for their generation but for the ones to come. A HAVE TO WATCH film don't worry too much about the quality it adds realism that's priceless better than found footage can do.. Cheers.
A young lady abused by her parents and others, eventually finding a safe haven through a teacher who did his best to help. He did happen to mention 'a place near Bournemouth' and 'Childline' which did point her in the write direction. I hope for her sake, as there was no follow up to the film, that she has now found that all adults are not the same and she has found happiness. I am a child care officer and I was moved to tears with this film. The acting and direction was just right for a very delicate subject, which needed to to be brought to the surface. I applaud the TV company for airing it, as I am sure it took a brave decision. It was a class film full of emotion which, I don't believe it has been on since, anybody know if it is available on DVD or VHS?
