Little Girl Lost is an American drama television film directed by Sharron Miller from a teleplay by Ann Beckett, based on a story by Angela Shelley and C. Scott Alsop.
A girl named Tella had been placed with foster parents Clara and Tim Brady when she was one-year-old due to neglect.
One night during bath time then four-year-old Tella tells Clara her father touches her "down there" and she wonders if it's because she's a bad girl.
[1] The Bradys have Tella taken from their home and, though they obtain help from an attorney and a local reporter, they must endure a two-year struggle to regain custody of their beloved lost child.
In the end an older and quieter Tella is brought to the Bradys' home, and slowly remembers she had once been happy there, and is now back with people who love her.
