American Crime: Baniszewski, Sylvia Likens and Mother's Day

Who was the genius who thought Mother's Day was the best opportunity to release "An American Crime", a movie about a mother tormenting and murdering a kid?

Admittedly she wasn't the child's biological mother, but still  Baniszewski was the primary care giver of Sylvia Likens and her sister, and she literally tortured her and eventually killed her back in 1965.

Is this really something you'd watch with your kid/parent?

I know I wouldn't.

I'm not sure there's always call for the usual insipid family dramas. Always the mother is almost dying, always there's a heartfelt reconciliation, always the simple country life helps heal our wounded hero's heart.

Mothers are not always so great.

Millions of hurt and abused kids can verify that...

Children are God's gift to the world... 

This definitely wasn't the tv station's best move, I'll agree with you on that. I know I personally wouldn't allow my children to watch the movie, no matter what day of the year it was.
