Tss5078 In 1982, missing children reports were so rare, that often times the local authorities didn't take them seriously. Most of these kids were considered runaways, as authorities at the time couldn't even fathom the depths of depravity that some people are capable of sinking to. In the case of Johnny Gosch, not only wasn't he a runaway, the compelling documentary, Who Took Johnny?, and the subsequent books by his mother, Noreen, have shown that not only may Johnny still be alive 35 years later, but he may have suffered more torture than anyone in the history of this planet. On September 5, 1982, Johnny Gosch, a local paperboy was abducted from Des Moines, Iowa. Despite eyewitness statements, the local police, considered him to be a runaway. Over the years evidence and even a witness go to the FBI to say that Johnny was used for human trafficking. Pictures have turned up and even his mother claims, Johnny stopped by the house for a brief time, 15 years after he'd disappeared. The documentary shows how the local authorities, didn't care and mishandled the case right from the very beginning, and how the FBI kept the family completely in the dark. To this day, despite the fact that her son could be god-knows-where, Noreen Gosch has become an outspoken defender for missing children and the rights of their parents. There is no doubt that this documentary is anything but unbiased and impartial, and while I'm not sure I believe everything Mrs. Gosch says, when taken as a whole, one can't ignore everything that happened in this case. The other side of this gave blanket statements or declined to be interviewed, which tells me, she's right about more than a few things, and even if a third of this is true, it's appalling. When catastrophe strikes, we rely on those in power to take care of us and make things right, but what happens if they just don't want to? This documentary is truly eye-opening and provides plenty of ammunition to victims rights advocates.

U.N. Owen Though the abduction of ANYone is sad, the US has been overcome in he past 2-3 decades with paranoia, and conspiracy lunatics - almost all uneducated, and it's a rife situation for a documentary like this.In the late 80's, a teenager named John Gosch was kidnapped. To this day, it's unsolved.This leads the door warped open for everyone - people who think the 'global elitists', and the 'devil worshiping' took him. And on, and on.Just looking at parts of some of these 'reviews', shows which the people who loved his, have limited mental capacities, themselves; 'adejesus614' says it 'shades the light'. Sorry, it's 'SHEDS' light. (Oh, yes, as you can see from this person's nickname, they're a typical right wing, religious wacko).No, there's no 'secret cabal', and it's certainly got nothing to do, with some backwater, like Des Moines, Iowa (folks, wake up, and get some schooling!). More than likely, the young man met a terrible fate, by some sick person. End of story. No, he's not hanging with Elvis, nor any reptilian aliens'.But, these people have their brains so, so screwed up, I'm to sure which is worse; the simple truth of this kid, or the BIGGER story; the IQ of a country the size of the US, IS RAPIDLY sinking. And with it, the rise of deluded thinking.

Vaccaro Bacarella Nicola Andrea I felt awful for this kid Johnny , even the other kid who took him ( Paul) ..I also believed him about this secret network, it exists.. What i don't believe is the mother that Johnny visited her :( I just have this zing in my body that she is lying..I cannot even imagine what they went through and yes I truly believe Johnny can be brainwashed and just wont contact his family, it does happen.. I don't know why I don't believe Noreen, I just don't.. I hope Johnny is living and has some kind of peace.. What a horrible event ..: ( I know Noreen has been to hell and back and she is a hero for all she does, but I just feel like it didn't happen, Johnny's visit. As a mother I would be never letting him go, IDK, maybe it did happen, I just don't believe it..

adejesus614 'Who Took Johnny?' Reveals how cases of missing children were handle 30 years ago. This film shades all its light on the disappearance of Johnny Gosch from Des Monies, Iowa. A 12 year-old paperboy, who disappears without a trace, yet was written off as a runaway. The case of Johnny Gosch is shrouded by the darkest side of humanity as it leads to a hidden world where children are targeted A world dragged into the light by the strength, love, and sacrifice of a mother who never stopped fighting for answers. It should be required for the world to watch. I watch it. My heart is still trembling over how this case was handled.
