Un enfant disparaît

I have seen Adam countless times (the first time when it it aired in 83, I was nine years old) I am moved everytime I see it.. its such a sad movie yet so uplifting for its strong message..The message of a father (John Walsh of America's Most Wanted, a living saint in my eyes) who after his son is brutally murdered stands up and fights the system to get rights for child victims!! John Walsh could have easily went back to his life and quietly mourned little Adam, I wonder than if anyone else would have had the guts to stand up for the children..Thank God John did.

It was THE best TV movie ever. You would think after making this movie, parents would be more cautious of the wear abouts of their kids. But you still hear about so many child abduction cases throughout the USA. I think every police station or places that post missing children notices in the country should have a picture of Adam on their missing child wall. I don't think that there will be a greater TV movie made better than this. Good acting and a great history of what happened to ADAM. I still cry at the end with the funeral services. A definite A+ movie. I can't believe this movie is 21 years old now. I was 4 years old when this came out. I first saw this movie when I was 6 and still have the movie.

You'll need it. Adam is a wonderful movie based on the heart wrenching story of Adam Walsh. The movie gives insight into what it is like to have child kidnapped, and the emotions that go along this roller coaster. The acting is great and well written. Since its a tv movie it isn't on very often but try lifetime. It is well worth the effort.

I remember when this TV movie aired I was in kindergarten and in fact my teacher even suggested that all of us small children watch this movie with our parents. Every parent with a small child feared that this tragedy would happen and what a nightmare it would have been to have a child abducted and murdered. The whole country was at this time bringing the missing children issue to the attention of people. All of this panic and awareness because of the abduction and murder of a little boy named Adam Walsh in Broward County, Florida. Thankful that this boys father John Walsh brought this case so much attention and awareness that a movie titled Adam was made for TV to expand the concern for children all across America. This movie is sad due to the death of a small child but brings a good message of awareness and concern for our children and any victim of crime for that matter. I wish some network would show Adam again I would like to see it over.

This fall will mark 20 years since the first airing of 'Adam'. While John Walsh now hosts 'America's Most Wanted' as well as his own talk show, in my opinion, he has become 'America's Most Admired'. I will take a show like 'AMW' over any reality show airing today. I believe that society can become more educated from this show than from a show depicting marrying a total stranger of eating raw flora on some deserted island.

Huzzah for 'Adam', John Walsh, and 'America's Most Wanted'.
