Abusive Teenager toward parent

I saw this on Lifetime Movie. It's not fair,that the mother gets arrested for something she didn't do.It was the other son that beat up the other son. January 18, 2006

Dangerous Child review

Excellent story line! The mother made you feel the pain of a mother with a child that's "different" and the child showed magnificent acting ability in his portrayal of a emotionally disturbed young person. Acting realistic! Very good! September 2, 2005

Children abusive to parents!

You always here about parents abusind children but not in this movie! The rolls are reversed. A teenage boy becomes extremely abusive to his devorced mother. This is a reality movie. And what I mean is this is some thing that happens all of the time actually more and more but it really goes unseen. How often do you hear about a child abusing their parents? Thats what I thought. But in the movie, you will see how a mother struggles to overcome this ordeal. And you will see how anger really affects some and how others around them learn to lie about the bruises, loud crashing of things and the truth. Every parent who has ever had an abusive child could see them selves in this movie. It was a great lifetime movie..... May 3, 2005

Ryan Merriman in Dangerous Child

I think that this movie is very good. It has a lot of good acting in it and so forth. Ryan did a very good job in this movie when he would get all pissed of and throw stuff...when he looked mad it was kinda scary. He would get all weapy too... This is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. For anyone who likes Ryan Merriman I would suggest this movie. It has alot of suppense too like what's up with him? and what is wrong with him he has problems? or issues as I like to call them.
It shows that there isn't just child abuse kids can abuse there parents too. and it shows what abuse is really like. It's a very good movie... I would recommend that you see it. July 20, 2003
