They prove that the cops, when they can't find the REAL perpetrators, always blame the parents and accuse them of sexual abuse of their kids. These movies always depict the press as a bunch of animals and have the parents coming out of court to feed the press' hunger to humiliate the grief-stricken. Hasn't anybody ever heard of a courthouse back door in these movies? Here, you have a psychic who tells them exactly what happened and WHERE the body can be found, but the police are not told and nobody heeds his findings.The police are portrayed as blockheads who don't know what they are doing and there's always an outside detective, like Ed Asner, who comes in late on the case, believes in the parents and solves the mystery.Also, after the parents are cleared, they don't spit in the faces of the dumb cops who put them in jail, took their kid away and accused them of killing their own child.It looked as if I've see this film MANY times before.

i think this a well acted film.it is very heart breaking.Cindy and David's daughter Jaclyn was kidnapped and strangled.Cindy and David got the blame.Davey is taken in to care as Cindy and David was accuse of physically and sexually abusing Davey.Cindy finds out shes pregnant and gives birth to a beautiful little girl named Carly Marie Dowaliby.Carly inherited her middle name from her older sister Jaclyn.the social services take Carly away and only let them see her 4 hours a week with super vision.after they was allowed to see her full time 24-7.Carly stayed at Cindy's mum place.Cindy and David get arrested 4 killing there daughter and there families struggle to get enough money to get them out out but they do.Cindy and David went to court and Cindy was free but David was sentenced 45 yrs 4 Jaclyn's death.In the end they prove that he was innocent and they didn't find the killer but there lawyers told them to move on.also they got there children back and in the end went camping.

David and Cindi Dowaliby are accused of murdering their own daughter in 1988. At first no one suspects they killed their little girl until newspapers hit the stands claiming the David killed his daughter while Cindi stayed home and cleaned the blood-stained sheets. That isn't the truth though! Soon Cindi is found innocent and David is left. He was sentenced to 45 years of jail for the murder of little Jaclyn. Soon people suspect that JacLyns brother Davey has been sexually and phsyically abused. The newspapers are using this to spice up their paper. One of the main suspects of the movie is Cindi's ex-husband's brother. In the end no one is ever charged with little JacLyns Murder!

This is one of the best made-for-TV movies I have ever seen...I would love to be able to buy it somehow. I stumbled upon it while I was home alone and I've been thinking about it ever since! The plot is very good, the acting terrific...at first I wondered how Shannen Doherty could play a mother but she was very talented...the film in a whole is just wonderful, it has just the right amount of drama, not too much. If you ever stumble upon it DEFINITIVELY watch it!!
