Child of Rage
Child of Rage is a CBS Television movie made in 1992 starring Ashley Peldon and Mel Harris. The film is based on the true story of Beth Thomas, who suffered from reactive attachment disorder as a result of being sexually abused as a child. The film was shot in Vancouver, British Columbia, with classroom scenes being filmed at Mary Hill Elementary School.
Following an equally disturbing incident where Catherine engages in sexually inappropriate behavior with her adoptive grandfather, Jill and Rob take her to a psychologist, but she puts on a good show while there and convinces him that theres nothing wrong. A short time later, Jill notices fresh bruises on Eric, and though hes initially scared to say anything, she gets him to admit that it was Catherine who inflicted them, though these are relatively minute compared to her next episode, where she repeatedly smashes Erics head on the concrete basement floor, landing him in the emergency room.At this point, Doris finally admits the truth about the childrens past after receiving a concerned phone call, she rescued the children from an abusive and neglectful home, which was one of the worst shed seen. Although Eric was in bad shape, it was nothing compared to the condition Catherine was found in, and no adults were present at the time their biological mother was hospitalized with pneumonia, while their biological father was presumably off on a drunken bender. ........
