Abuse experts assail movie 2/23/04 Marina Pisano "Some child-abuse experts say the film hurts children by misleading the public about crimes against children and helping "create an environment that keeps victims silent." In "Capturing the Friedmans," director Andrew Jarecki weaves together many interviews with old 8 mm home movies and videos to tell the story of admitted pedophile Arnold Friedman and teenage son Jesse...."The film gives the impression truth is elusive and maybe the Friedmans didn't molest boys. It leaves out information that, if included, wouldn't leave that doubt," says Joyanna Silberg, child psychologist and vice president of the Leadership Council on Child Abuse and Interpersonal Violence. Abbey Boklan, the now-retired Nassau County judge who presided over both cases, has raised concerns, too, insisting there are no doubts about the Friedmans' guilt. "There never was an issue as to whether they were guilty or not. To me it (the film) is deliberately slanted." "Boklan says five victims have hired an attorney in the face of efforts to annul Jesse's conviction. She says the film "is great theater, but don't call it true." " "Silberg says "whether or not Jarecki wins an Oscar, it is children in our society who are the big losers when the public is misled about sexual crimes against children. Films like this help to create an environment that keeps victims silent." http://www.mysanantonio.com/salife/stories/MYSA1131888.xml.4182b4.html www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
