Description:
WHEN THE RULES DON’T WORK AND A CHILD IS A STAKE…ONE TEACHER RISKS EVERYTHING. Through love, patience and extraordinary commitment, a teacher breaks down the barriers of silent aggression and ‘tames’ a highly disturbed child in this superbly-acted drama. Six-year-old Caitlin vandalizes property, smears excrement on walls and attacks other children, causing them devastating injuries. She has been branded psychotic and seems doomed to a life behind bars in a mental hospital. But, beneath this devilish exterior lies a very different character: a charming child of near-genius intelligence. And, when Caitlin joins Maggie Barnard’s special education class, Maggie refuses to give up on the child, whom everyone else has abandoned – even if it means challenging the law. Starring CATHY LEE CROSBY (Intimate Strangers, The Player), and child actress ASHLEE LAUREN, JOHN GETZ (A Day Without a Mexican, The Fly) and GARY FRANK (Death in Small Doses).

This was a made for television movie that I saw as a teen, and thought it was good. I bought this movie, and I still think it's good. Kathy Lee Crosby plays the teacher, Maggie, and does a wonderful job. She lives with her boyfriend, and Kathy Lee is a special education teacher at a public school. One day she gets a new student, Caitlin, played by Ashlee Lauren, and she's a trouble child that was left by her mother at a young age, by abandonment. She ties her to a fence on the freeway and never comes ... Read More

Well... This movie was inspired by Torey Hayden's One Child book... Un-inspired seems better to describe this thing! It's NOT the Torey's story, who was true. It's just a bad movie with a crying story...
Buy the book, is really good... But please not this movie... Save your money!...

This film was a poor knock off of the book with inaccurate portrayal of actual events. Maggie was annoying instead of the heroic figure the movie tried to make her seem. John Getz was a sulky drag. Find the book and read it instead. This movie insults the book.
