A man snatched a toddler from the mother's home...I believe he was the father and he was abusive and a nasty custody case happened and he lost and snapped...so he snatches the kid and runs down the stairs and onto the street with him, slams the boy into the ground and begins to STOMP him to death. Not kick, but literally, putting all his weight into crushing this boy to pieces. You don't "see" it really. You see the father from the waist up, hear the kid screaming and the screaming got less and less as he died. I remember you could hear bones crushing, but I don't think it was an "over the top" think. The mother and I think the grandmother ran out and were understandably freaking out.
I watched the whole scene in horror, I changed the channel soon after the attack was done and I've never been able to shake it.
Thats horrible, doesn't sound like the typical Lifetime movie (bone crunching sounds). What's so bad is selfish/psychotic/jerk-off parents like that really exist in this word (http://www.tucsoncitizen.com/ss/related/88472). That is really disturbing and the fact that it could really happen makes it even more so.

It didn't bother me but I definitely remember thinking it would probably give some children nightmares. The spider lady and creepy-ass music would've scared me as kid and some parts are pretty intense for a kids movie.

You basically stated the reasons why kids love it and adults are terrified of it.
