First off, I would like to say, I love the storyline of this episode. I know, it's th usual, kid sexually abused by adult. But this was different in a way I can't explain. It could have been the pedo ring, the mom's reactions, and how mom and son were homeless (which keeps Cory, the son, from talking earlier. He doesn't want to go back to the shelter), but this episode was a tearjerker.
I am younger (not saying my age, just a younger teen), but this episode made me really think. It sort of got me into the episode, nervous when the hidden cameras were catching the dining room action, I teared up when the boy made the outburst in the court room, and was scared along with the mom as she found out her son was a victim.
Amazing performances by the cast. Rosie Perez is amazing, really bringing an emotional element into this movie that no one could have done better. She really brought a new dimension into the episode.
The boy, Cruz Santiago, was amazing as the son. It is hard for younger actors/actresses to bring that emotional role into their character, and he did it breathtakingly. He really made me jump into the show, I think he deserves an award for his performance.
The rest of the cast was amazing as well, including Jim True-Frost as Cory's step-dad/rapist (role was not good, but acting was amazing), and Garret Dillahunt as Kevin O'Donnell, the pedophile ring leader.
Truly amazing episode. Possibly the best yet of SVU. Amazing job by cast and crew.
