Exactly what I was thinking. Why didn't the natural parents invite George and Sam/Ben/? to live with them and form a new family. They could even have both sold their houses and bought a new house representing their new family. After all, George doesn't have anybody now.

I mean the guild of his wife and him being a criminal excuse a big part of that. Meaning he doesn't have the right to.

The deeper end of the ocean is the title of the movie

Now that would be a great movie

​@@chaceimboard6056the adoptive dad wasn't a criminal. He didn't know the son was kidnapped. He raised the kid as his own. Hence why he didn't go to prison.

I felt the same thing.

Finally, someone with some sense.

Or even shared custody. Whatywrong with speanding half the year with the Bio family and half with the Ado-Napped famoly?

@@briarjacobsen7214not even that, but they we’re neighbors 😭 so the boy could have stayed at his home while actually getting to meet and get used to his bio family. They could do big dinners together at least once a week and even mix holidays or split them like shared custody like you said.

They did end up giving him that decision finally. Then he decided to gove his biological family a chance

12 year olds are still toddlers they can't look after anything

​@@apollo1694 bro what 💀

@@apollo1694Look up the definition of “toddler”.

@@AFVfan1 Found a picture of you

@@apollo1694 A toddler is defined as someone between the ages of 1-3 years old. Some 12 year-olds are responsible, assuming that they were brought up right.

I was just thinking the same thing.

I didn’t like her acting in this film she usually do much better

Yeah I didn't like this ending. Kinda just removes the whole point by making sam remember his brother and decide to leave the man he considered his father

I adopted a sibling group when they were 3 and 9, and we didn’t just pick them up one day and have them live with us. First we met them at a restaurant, then we showed them our home, and had day visits and outings for a while. Then they would stay for the weekends. After a while we finally made the switch to us having them full time. We told their grandma and other extended family that they could come visit whenever they wanted to. The transition to our house full time took an entire summer. We worked out our own timeline with the visits, but getting them used to us gradually was required I think.

They made it clear that she ended her own life. Maybe remorse over taking Ben was part of why.

Before the existence of social media, it was really easy to kidnap a child and raise them in another state. It was also easy for a person to "disappear" if they wanted to. In many ways, people had more freedom and control over their lives back then.

The cops just suck at their job, just look at the black chick she tries to arrest the dad even though in real life it would lead to a city lawsuit

I think they kind of condensed their search area to the area he was taken in, so I guess they didn't put too many resources into searching beyond the city they were in. They only found him after they moved to Chicago, and I don't remember them stating where they were before. But again, suspension of disbelief on how she managed to fake a birth certificate and records for a child that was clearly a few years old at that point.

Sometimes if a person had a child but they died will steal one that resembles their dead child. I’ve seen true crime shows and another movie with this same theme. Though it’s normally mothers who do it.

Because she was not a suspect, so she simply took the boy to other state and it was a lot easier to get the necesary papers in those days.

It wasn't abusive, but it was dishearting.

​@@LaraCroftEyes1neglect is child abuse

@@LaraCroftEyes1 emotional abuse is still abuse tho. But I get what you mean

@@ell3524I think he meant it’s not abuse as it wasn’t intentional, the parents were in so much pain

@@ell3524not really abuse, parents making mistakes is not always abuse.

You mean his biological parents? George is his real parent

Like George had nothing to do with that awful woman who kidnapped Ben. George was just a wonderful dude who raised a kid he thought was from a previous lover of the woman he married. There is a lot of instances where the step father would have abandoned Ben. George is such a kind and sweet soul that he adopted him and raised him. The biological family should have been more sensible with integrating Ben back into their lives. The bio parents didn’t consider Ben’s feelings only until later and that was JUST the bio Mother. And the biological parents not considering George a dad too for Ben is just heartless. This man was a saint and raised a child as a SINGLE parent who wasn’t even his by blood and adopted Ben. Ben going back to his ‘bio’ family is just some shit that ‘blood is thicker than water’ blood family propaganda.

@@KoopaBOOEY No he’s not lol. The biological parents are the real parents.

@@Zain-iv9yv Just because they’re the biological parents doesn’t mean they are Ben’s real parents in this movie. George is the real parent for raising Ben and caring for him after he was taken away by that woman in the wedding. Just because you share the same DNA with your biological parents who haven’t raised you doesn’t mean they are the real parents. It’s the people who raised you for years with love and care who are the real parents, like George. Would you say the same about kids who were adopted and the parents who adopted them aren’t their real parents? Of course those adoptive parents are the real parents.

@@KoopaBOOEY No but the biological parents lost him, they didn’t give him up. And they clearly love him. Genes are more important. And George was a good guy but his wife kidnapped the kid which is wrong.

Lol

Nope she took 3 of her children glad there is a babysitter care of her friend😅

A bit of a nitpick point here

Calm down. Breathe. It’s just a movie. None of this actually happened.

You have to see things from their perspective.

you also have to see things from his @@22espec

@@22especYoU nEeD tO sEe iT fRoM tHeIr pErSpEcTiVe shut up they are being selfish and are putting their needs above their kids even though its directly harmful to them

I literally watched this with tears in my eyes.

Must be nice to be blissfully ignorant, American and have family to care about of losing. All I saw of this is hysterical reactions of entitlement. Try having no one to being shamed neglected to hated by your family to everyone.

What movie is it

@@Theofficialhelluvabossfan The deep end of the ocean

@@courtneymartel1746 thanks

No way the kid would ever call the man that raised him uncle💀

I think I remember reading that book in elementary school.

Is the husband Treat Williams sadly he was killed on Monday June. 12th When his motor bike crashed into a SUV that eas tjr jng left. I suspect Sun glare he was 72an R.I. P.

Oh wow. I remember that movie.

but face on the milk carton tells the story from jannie's side not her bio parents

My thinking too

well that's not fair to the parents as well they lost their child for years.. any parents wants their kid near them

It's clearly the mother's fault, even the husband knows. I would never leave my kids to watch over each other until one of them is like 14 yo and it's only for a few minutes alone. The clearly smart move is to ask one of her close friends in that reunion to watch them for a while

@@thatguy69888 yeah they could of still taken the kid. She had to pay her bill what she gonna make then stand on the counter? It wasn’t her fault because they would of gotten the child one way or another

@@vagabond734what I didn’t understand is why she didn’t take the kids with her to the counter , she can still pay and have the kids by her side

@@hudak55 Back would of still been turned for that same 2 seconds

@vagabond734 cmon, you would've noticed if someone tried to grab your kid next to you even if you're doing something else (at least the chances of you noticing them is much higher than if you just leave them alone far away on the back). & as I said before, the smart move here is to ask one of her close friends in that reunion to watch/talk to them for a while

😂😂

They did. Did you watch it?

@@terricox3559 yes i did

I thought she was mad because she took the picture to make the magazine??

Do you know the name of the movie

He does this a lot. Either English isn't his first language or he's just lazily churning out content. I think it's more the former

@@leetoys4025 the deep end of the ocean! I highly recommend watching the full thing!

@@leetoys4025the name is at the start of the vid

@@leetoys4025the deep end of the ocean

He was 3 years. The memory is very limited, unless evoked by something like it did later when he remembered playing with his brother..

I thought the same thing! I guess it was the 80s and expecting a father to watch his kids alone for the weekend was out of the question? 🤷🏽‍♀️

It was in the script.

@@loricreed yet the script is also written to tug at your emotions. I mean people have panic attacks when they lose their phones, imagine a child. But before an emotion of any takes over my logic came first and was like huh this still makes no sense. It’s like ‘Nah fam, mommy is having her night out.’ I remember seeing this movie once years ago. I do remember a screaming match between the mom and dad and how he basically blamed her for the son going missing. I just can’t remember why he wasnt available or the kids didn’t stay with a babysitter. But it might be like what the other person above said-the times, I guess.

well i guess some mothers are more protective and feel safer and at ease when they know their kids are with them. so i'm guessing this is the same situation.

Modern-day relationships are too unique. There are so many people that have been raised in broken families with parents that hated eachother and they wouldn't wish that on their offspring, so they split. On the other hand, theirs scummy relationships where both partners would start abusing eachother,cheat etc. My biggest takeaway from it is that no matter where u find the "blame" for it, the pain will still remain. Unless both parties can deal with the pain in a healthy matter, it's best to part ways to not inflict more pain on each other or their kids. Staying together would be a selfish act. A real Adult would know your Children come first no matter tradition,vows, or your marriage.

@@Skully_Boi then what is the point of your vows. Might as well not get married at all and bare a child out of wedlock. Peeps take marriage for granted these days. Especially the women out here. And due to Western court systems, the man gets the short end of the stick.

@Ace-is7ww the whole idea of marriage in general is just a tradition . Some people now a days dont even get married and just raise their kids amicably. Personally, if i was ever put into a spot like that, i would value my kid's childhood over the tradition of marriage. Im only human, and I've made and will continue to make mistakes. I'm not gonna pretend like my partner is anything different than me. In a perfect world, people would be faithful to each other, protect their integrity, and look out for their offspring. But the world isn't like that but atleast we can teach our kids not to be like us ,to strive to be better and to not make our mistakes. I would love to see my kids one day get married and have a happy life i sure as hell dont want them to neglect their kids like my parents did to me.

He was 3. I don't remember who I was at 3 years or what I did..
