Is this orphan a problem child?

As the old saying goes, you can't do or say anything anymore without insulting a person or a group. Warner Brothers appears to be the latest example.

Warner Brothers is releasing the movie "Orphan" on July 24 and the movie has already sparked some contreversy.

According to an article on aol.com's ParentDish, the horror movie focuses on a girl named Esther, who is nice and sweet at first but turns into something more than a nuisance when she goes home with her new family.

As mentioned before, everyone is a victim nowadays. This time the label is worn by children and the families who adopt them.

Did you see the movie "Problem Child"? It has to be 20 years old by now. You might be able to find it at a video store. Here's the basic idea: A baby is left on a doorstep. During the first few years of his life, he is constantly being passed on to home after home. The child is simply too much for whatever family that has the misfortune of finding him. He is ultimately given to an orphanage that looks more like a reform school run by nuns. When a social worker meets the boy and sees how much trouble he is, he makes it his mission to see that the boy is passed off to the first family that steps into his office.

Where were the cries of protest when this movie was released? Where was the publicity when the boy dressed up as the devil for a party and, later in the movie, even befriended an escaped convict.

I guess that was different. "Problem Child" was a comedy and was meant to entertain people. "Orphan" is a horror movie. Are people worried the public will take this too seriously and stay away from children who need a family?

It never ends, unfortunately.There will always be a group that needs something to do and will need something to protest and make a statement for or against.

The article on ParentDish quotes people who work in the adoption community who fear the new movie will only reinforce negative stereotypes people have about adopting. Others say the movie makes it seem as if the process is easier than it really is. No matter what the issues are, Warner Brothers has given the public another example of movies can create a negative stereotype of a certain group of people.

Has anyone seen "Annie"?
