I went into foster care very young and was adopted by a loving woman straight from God. I thank God for His faithfulness. Im so grateful for movies like this.
I loved the world. But the world did me wrong. I was beaten and gang-raped while many looked on. Paralyzed by fear, no one came to my rescue. They did not care, while others sought their own opportunity to do me harm. I never went to therapy and never told anyone. Was there any hope for a broken soul like me?
For years, I carried those deep, invisible scars. Shame made me a prisoner, while death wanted me to end it all. Was I to remain a victim for the rest of my life, or would I become like those monsters I looked upon? I could not tell, but then a gentle voice called my name. Come to me, and I will give you rest. It was not easy to lay down my burdens. His love compelled me to love and to forgive. At first, I resisted, but my heart needed to heal. One by one, I had to let them go, to set me free. Some were strangers, but others I knew. If I tell, who would believe my story?
Then I was told that Christ himself was betrayed by the kiss of a friend. Even his closest friends deserted him. Humiliated and alone, he suffered a cruel and painful death. Justice was maimed when he was sentenced to death for the sins of the world. No one called for a mistrial because it was the will of God. But three days later, the wisdom of God came to light when Jesus rose from the dead. Angels told his story, and people saw his glory. His story changed my story. Bitterness dwindled as I read his words, without the need for endless therapy. All it took for my healing journey to begin was to see God's love on a bloody cross and the promise that one day, face to face, he will wipe away all my tears.
GREAT STORY & MOVIE !!! THANK " GOD " FOR WHAT THIS MOVIE REVEALS OF THE INJUSTICE OF WHAT HAPPENS TO THESE CHILDREN 💔💔💔 BREAKS MY HEART 😢😢😢 WE NEED TO PRAY WITHOUT CEASING!!! 🙏🙏🙏"GOD HELP US ALL "
This movie is so true!! Babies are taken under BS reasons and yet they give children back to parents that end up killing their kids! DHS CPS whatever is so messed up!!
These judges who do court for any child problem should have to visit the homes. Surprise visits so there is no time to hide drugs or whatever the child abuse is.
A heartfelt movie. I don't know how anyone can do jobs like that and live with themselves. That caseworker knew what was going on in that home and did nothing about it.
And apparently after the trial, nothing changed within the system. Not in our state anyway. Kids are mentally abused by the system plus all kinds of abuses by a lot of foster parents. It's just heartbreaking…
I wasn’t in foster system but I wasn’t in a good place. It started when I was about 9 yrs old. Still don’t like closets, still have a fear of 30 gal cans of trash, being woke up in the night with a person in my face, ropes twisted near my hands, and many other things that I struggled with for many yrs. When child need to be removed they’re not. The system is broken. Church fam, friends, neighbors watch for children being distant or cowarding (for lack of another word) down for unknown reasons. That’s the child that needs a friend to peel away the layers of hurt and shame. I finally ran away at age 15. Relatives Dad B and Momma D (as I will call them) took me in. Took a long time for me to trust them. I gave them HE?? (Cap letters, too). They always stood by me. Finally I felt like I had a home. I still call that home. In my adulthood accepting Jesus Christ as my personal savior did the healing begin. I now have a wonderful husband, great marriage, 3 daughters and many g/children.
Oh myyyyy…. this is one of the hardest movies I have ever watched. I wasn’t sure I could make it through it because the idea of children being abused is more than I can take. But I’m so glad I stuck with it. What a glorious ending. Many thanks to JC Films.
It truly hurts my heart to know that these types of things still go on every day ! I never had to endure what these young girls did and many other young girls as well but I did see my own mother look the other way while my stepdad mentally , emotionally and physically abused my brother and myself . He was 42 , she was 25 when they married . She later admitted that she never loved him but needed some “ financial security “. I’m still appalled by it all . I left home , if you can call it that , at 16 . It was not good but I survived it . I’ve taken care of myself and many others since I left home and I still don’t have a good relationship with my mom . My dad has passed and it wasn’t good with him either . We told him what was happening and he did very little about any of it . I trust in Jesus Christ , He never lets me down or looks away . Praise God !
I have heard a lot of injustices re: the child protective services thru the years! Heart wrenching! This movie does portray the stupic system in this dark world that doesn't use common sense! Glad that this movie was made!!!
Thank you Dean Kane for again bringing a power message to the public with the films you’re in. These should be made by HollyWoke and be on big screens, sadly it won’t happen because that entire city is run on the Devil’s clock. So few wholesome and faithful actors left.

Too many ads! 😮
I pray for every child that is not safe, not healthy and not happy. God's children should all be that 😥😢

Too sad
Sad thing is that none of it has changed the cps system. 😢

Didnt put together properly would a good movie if it did. Very boring. Going back and fourth
