The child abuse is a phenomenon that leads to ethical and conscientious inquiries. Although it is encountered rather frequently, this phenomenon does not take place as a theme in the means of communication, including the cinema as well. With the purpose of examining how the child sexual abuse phenomenon is handled in two feature films from different cultures, an American movies of 1999 ¡°8mm¡± and a Turkish movie of 2009 ¡°Ejder Kapan?¡± (Dragon Trap). The themes included by both movies, such as justice, securing the justice, the relation between justice and law, conscience, ethics, punishment of the guilty, victim's relatives rage against the guilty, society's view of crime are analyzed within the moral development theory of Kohlberg.
