This movie is very eye opening I've watched a lot of movies like this but this is the only I had to fight back my tears can't believe how people and use a little girl is such a way in considering this is based on true events The sad thing is this is not isolated incident hundreds if not thousands kids go through this every year at the end of the of movie considering everything she went through and what was done to her I felt so sorry for her and the facts told At the end of the movie. Made me so angry this movie needs to be watched people needs to have there eyes opened this story will stay with me for the rest of my lives 10/10.

"NO CHILD OF MINE"
10/10
I'll keep this as short as possible.
Todays date is June 21st,2019 the dates important because this film regardless of when it was released in '97 still packs the punch of modern cinema. Of course though me being a fan of older disturbing films and I've basically seen them all which would be a couple hundred from "Serbian film" to "120 days of Sodom" or even the "Guinea pig" series, theres always a few that slip through the cracks until they arrive in your purview and for me today it was "NO CHILD OF MINE" which is based on a true story about a 10yo girl from the U.K, who is abused played by. Brooke Kinsella. The job Brooke does playing Kerry is absolutely amazing I won't give away anything but when a movie such as this really opens your eyes to how sick, cruel and indifferent adults can be towards helpless children movies like this should be mandatory viewing and community outreach programs should triple in funding and volunteer assistance.
I personally vow to do more but just thinking how there could be hundreds or thousands of Kerry's wishing for someone to help them really tugs at my heart. So when evil people who are disgraceful, corrupt and unkind like what my country is dealing with from our current president, people have to realize what we are showing our kids and the trash they take in on a day to day basis will have disastrous and horrifying consequences not just for their generation but for the ones to come. A HAVE TO WATCH film don't worry too much about the quality it adds realism that's priceless better than found footage can do.. Cheers.
Though a low budget picture, No Child of Mine's gritty filmography, overly realistic acting, and depiction of graphic child abuse as well as self harm shows that this movie is something to applaud and be overly greatful for.
This movie has so many emotions to it, I cannot name just one feeling that I felt. What an eye opener for Brittan, not to mention all states. This may be an older movie but the message is just the same today. The things that are happening to our children in this day & age are unimaginable. I pray that the victims in these movies find solace. I am appalled as to the long string of adults that this child came in contact with and failed her. From her blood to the system. How she lived daily is a mystery. For such a young girl to muster the strength and courage to live on a daily bases is unreal. This poor girl is the perfect picture to a broken system. I had to check twice to be sure that this was a true story. It is unbelievable!!
I saw this film when it had just come out, my whole year at school aged between 16 and 17 watched it as as part of a media class after a girl videoed it off the tv. What can i say, it left me and several of my class mates in tears, i dont think that a word was spoken between us for over an hour.
It is an insight to the lives of "normal" people that we do not see in all the glitz and glamour of films today, it tells of something that is hidden form the public eye and it was suddenly in front of us in full view. So much so that even now, seven years on the film still haunts me. I agree that the film made me sick to my stomach but is definatly one to watch, if only for the skill of the acting.
