    Powerful drama, great acting!

    Im not being funny, but some of you sound like perverts yourself getting all defensive! The movie was intended to be over the top in order to illustrate the vulnerability of some children in our society today. Whilst I can accept that the mass betrayal to Kerry from almost every adult she encountered was some what unbelievable, who is to say that her parents and their friends weren't involved in a paedophile circle and this point was not focused on the film. It was clear that the abuse had been going on from before the breakdown of her parents marriage or indeed where the storyline actually kicked off.

    The movie was powerful as it portrayed a story from the perspective of a child who knew what was happening to her was wrong, but tried to block the truth out in order to have some sense of normality from her parents. I myself have no knowledge of how these perverted networks operate but can only imagine that these people don't advertise their membership with a sign on their head, it is believable that something like this could happen and is still happening with guardians and family friends who are good at hiding their illness, we only have to look at a few domestic abuse cases to see how people attempt to hide what happens behind closed doors.

    Obviously in the times we live in now there will be cases where adults are falsely accused of molestation, but I think the film demonstrates how these should still be investigated seriously, because for this type of thing to happen just once is far too much in the life of a child. The way the care system was CPS was bound by red tape demonstrates the systems failings on some of our most vulnerable in society, the betrayal of the care home worker demonstrates the type of people who pray on people in this situation. Now more checks are carried on adults who work with children and this is a positive development, 20 plus years ago this was just not the case.

    A powerful drama which I believe is intended to stimulate thought and awareness about the things that are happening around us. - No Child of Mine - the title says it all, I would not accept it for any of my children or any child for that matter. What has happened to the real meaning of community?

    An emotional landmine of realism!

    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.

    Heartful Movie

    This movie has so many emotions to it, I cannot name just one feeling that I felt. What an eye opener for Brittan, not to mention all states. This may be an older movie but the message is just the same today. The things that are happening to our children in this day & age are unimaginable. I pray that the victims in these movies find solace. I am appalled as to the long string of adults that this child came in contact with and failed her. From her blood to the system. How she lived daily is a mystery. For such a young girl to muster the strength and courage to live on a daily bases is unreal. This poor girl is the perfect picture to a broken system. I had to check twice to be sure that this was a true story. It is unbelievable!!

    Compelling

    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

    saw it in 1997

    I saw this film when it had just come out, my whole year at school aged between 16 and 17 watched it as as part of a media class after a girl videoed it off the tv. What can i say, it left me and several of my class mates in tears, i dont think that a word was spoken between us for over an hour.

    It is an insight to the lives of "normal" people that we do not see in all the glitz and glamour of films today, it tells of something that is hidden form the public eye and it was suddenly in front of us in full view. So much so that even now, seven years on the film still haunts me. I agree that the film made me sick to my stomach but is definatly one to watch, if only for the skill of the acting.
