Do You Know the Muffin Man? is a CBS Network docudrama starring Pam Dawber. It was directed by Gilbert Cates and also stars Stephen Dorff, John Shea, Anthony Geary, Dee Dee Rescher and Brian Bonsall.[1]
The critically praised film, about child abuse in a community day care center,[2] was ranked as the 8th most-watched television program of the week by the Nielsen Ratings after its initial airing on October 22, 1989.[3] It was released at the height of the day-care sex-abuse hysteria in the United States.
Summary
Roger Dollison, a police officer, and his wife Kendra are living the American dream. They have two children, Teddy and Sandy, and a lovely home and a dog named Rex. What they know and how they live as a family is irreparably changed one day when it is discovered that a classmate of Teddy's is the apparent victim of sexual abuse and molestation at the respected neighborhood daycare center. Like all other parents, the Dollisons are tormented: "we should have known, we should have seen," but their devastation is complete when Teddy tells his own story, one he promised his abusers he would never tell.[4]
