What's Your Opinion On This?

A few weeks ago, I was given an assignment at the movie academy that I attend. We were asked to watch some movies. And they also gave us separate movies for separate groups. The title of the movie I was given is 'Doubt'. It's a movie that features Viola Davies. I'd love to tell you the major thing that happened in the movie and I need you to give your opinion about the movie.

The movie is about a child. This child is hated by everyone in society including his father. His classmates hated him, his father hated him, and his neighbors hated him too. The only person who loved him is his mother. She showed him, true love because he was not welcome in the midst of some people. She also loved him because he was hated by every other person in society. That's a lot to deal with!!!

The boy's teacher found out something about the boy and called his mother to the attention. When the mother came, the teacher explained that the boy is being molested by the priest of the school. She also explained that she caught them countless times and she had some proof to show. She tried talking to the boy's mother in a way that she won't flare up. She expected the boy's mother to go against it and create a scene there but that didn't happen.

The mother supported what was happening to her son. She was cool with it and when the teacher asked her why. She said it was because her child is hated by everyone. She was happy because she found someone who loves her child. That's weird. It's so weird for a parent to like the fact that her child is being molested by someone of the same gender.

She became very emotional and broke down in tears. She also made it known that she does not want the teacher to put an end to what was going on with the priest and her child.

Let me ask you all. Is that the best way to treat that kind of situation? I expected that as a good mother, she should not be cool with what was going on...

The fact that her child was not loved by every other person around him does not mean that she should allow such a thing to happen or that she should say yes to what was happening between her child and the priest.

I understand the fact that she wants a child to be out of depression and she wants him to be happy but this is not the best way of making him happy. Child molestation is a big crime that warrants some penalty. Also, it will have adverse effects on the child in the future.

Put yourself in her shoes. If such were to happen to your son, what would you do?
