Little Girl Lost (film)

A girl named Tella had been placed with foster parents Clara and Tim Brady when she was one-year-old due to neglect. When Tella was three the law forced her to have visitation with her biological father. One night during bath time then four-year-old Tella tells Clara her father touches her "down there" and she wonders if it's because she's a bad girl. The Bradys inform Children's Services they suspect child sexual abuse but Children's Services and the court side with the father, believing Tella is making up stories, and her foster parents are allowing her to act out. The court has Tella taken from the Brady's home and, though they obtain help from an attorney and a local reporter, they must endure a two-year struggle to regain custody of their beloved lost child. In the end an older and quieter Tella is taken back to the Bradys' home, and slowly remembers she had once been happy there, and is now back with people who love her. ==Cast==
