A sad movie concerning emotional abuse of a kid in a lower working class environment
by carrychris2020-06-03
7/10

"A Made for TV movie about a kid being the victim of emotional abuse and cruelty from his lower working class father and mother, teachers, the local kids in his neighborhood and just about any person he encounters or encounters him. You can empathize with this kid on so many levels. You would think he was stuck and born into an evil dimension. Not much as far as a plot is concerned but leaves a lasting impression after viewing it...."
