Not many things make me cry from sorrow and at the same time with rage.

One such thing is the abuse of children, I saw the below news stories and it took me back to a true movie I once saw called an "American Crime".

Watch it all the way through even if you have to take breaks to scream at the television as I did.

I believe I could execute people like these!!

This movie will take a little while to buffer, it's not broken; just give it about 10 minutes.

Read after you watch the movie, so that you won't spoil the movie.
