Who Took Johnny (2016)

Documentary about an unsolved missing child case from 1982. Though it’s not particularly well-done, there was enough what the fuckery to both hold my interest and make me queasy.

Johnny Gosch, 12 years old, was delivering papers in Iowa on an early Sunday morning. Laws at the time said the cops couldn’t investigate a missing child as a possible crime until 72 hours had passed, but they didn’t seem particularly interested in investigating even after that point. Johnny’s mother is sure -- with good reason -- that her son was taken into a child pornography/prostitution ring.

I don’t know what to believe about this particular case other than that our public servants owe us their SERVICE and that the evil in this world (too much of it tolerated by those charged with shutting it down) is beyond measure.
