This one was probably the saddest 'Cold Case' episode I've ever seen. The victim was so innocent, he had the mind of a young child even as a teenager & I absolutely detest bullies of any kind so it was very upsetting to see the poor little guy get in trouble for something he didn't even do. When he had his eyes closed at the end, waiting for something good to happen only to be hit by the train 'cuz he trusted his caregiver, I was sobbing. It was a lose/lose situation for all involved.moreless

i found that this hit close to me. i know someone like this and it pains me to see how people treat the handicapped. i hope this opens the eyes of other people. i hope that the next time someone wants to be mean then they should think of how it would feel to be treated that way. i guess u can say, think before u speak. the plot was great. i have seen this kind of action in real life yet i was the one that was being made fun of. i hope bullies learn from this great episodemoreless

This was one of the first episodes of Cold Case I saw, and it was what drew me into the series. You really feel for the characters in this episode. Colin is a mentally challenged boy with a stuffed animal, Mr. Wilson, who is his best friend. His father is a deadbeat and his mother, who has the patience of a saint, is dying of cancer. Colin is killed and the detectives try to figure out what happened.

Keep your tissues near when you watch the episode because you will cry at some point. It is hard not to in this amazing episode.moreless

Startling, sad, and so ...useless. But it does remain in the memory, which is why I gave it a high rating. Points for a heart-tugging story, loss for the ending - it was just too much.moreless

I saw this episode when it first aired, and unlike many of them, this one stuck with me. The young boy, Colin, and his Mr. Rabbit tugged at my heart, as I have two children myself. When the ending occurred, I and my oldest daughter were in absolute shock - I cried buckets, and I never cry over movies/shows. It was so startling, so sad, and so ...useless. But it does remain in the memory, which is why I gave it a high rating. Points for a heart-tugging story, loss for the ending - it was just too much. I actually stopped watching the show for almost a year. I was scared. So many of them are sad, and full of loneliness, heartache, and loss.moreless
