As a parent this was tough to watch, seeing how alone kids really are once they step out of the front door and are in the care of others. It was frightening to see the indifference and/or lack of any training that teachers have in this area.
This meant that it pretty much made for a frustrating watch, seeing kids who should be protected, and parents who wanted to bring about changes, going up against a system that is conditioned to sweep it under the carpet.
It is an important enough issue for this film to be essential watching for kids and parents alike.
My only issue was that I would have liked to have heard a little from the other side. I appreciate that this was a documentary about the victims but it would have been nice to see some kind of engagement with the people who are the cause of the issues for these kids.
