You nailed it on the head. The song made headlines when it came out for being one of the first of its kind to directly address child molestation. It’s an important song in the history rock and metal music for this reason. Definitely brought Skid Row into the main stream conversation to that point as something more than just another rock metal band.

Originally the band had a fully produced video for this song. They got together to watch a tape of it and everyone hated it. They all left the room but Sebastian hung back and grabbed the VHS tape from the machine and kept it. So he supposedly has the only existing copy of the original video for this song. I don't know if it was destroyed in Hurricane Irene, along with the rest of his Skid Row archives.

In '89 they were with Bon Jovi ....they were hungry then and the shows were great. The song is about " child abuse and traffiking". Check out the line" innocence of a child thats bought and sold " I am sure you read the lyrics by now. I think the line about the fear of running into the abuser is crazy sick. To me it means nothing happened to them. I have loved all the Skid Row songs. Keep it up.

As someone that has a very close friend that was abused as a child, this song pretty much sums it up from what she's told me. She was 5 years old when it started and thus had no idea that there was anything wrong going on until she got older as it was portrayed to her as normal. This was her favorite Skid Row song as it spoke to her about what she went through especially the "Please forgive me cause I know not what I do" line as she had no idea she was really being abused by her family members.

Love what you are doing and love all of the Skid Row reactions. This is a song about child abuse. Although they along with many other bands of that time have gotten the labeled by some people based on partying and the "big hair" image, there was so much more to them. I will be the first to say there is nothing wrong with a happy, good time party song but to me the bands of this era like many other eras wrote about life experiences such as good times, lost loves, injustice and finding strength. Sometimes these songs get overlooked and I am glad you have done such a great job with these Skid Row songs. A few other Skid Row suggestions are Eileen and Into Another. Sailing Ships by Whitesnake and Something To Believe In by Poison are a couple of others.
