Kid Nation

Parents of a child in a new reality show called Kid Nation are angry at the network for putting their child in a dangerous situation. You see, the premise of this show is to have forty kids aged 8-15 live "alone" in a secluded movie set town, and create a functioning way of life and government.

Janis Miles of Fayetteville, Georgia, said in a letter that her 12-year-old daughter, Divad Miles, was spattered on her face with grease while cooking potatoes on a wood stove, and that four other children required medical attention after they accidentally drank bleach.

Okay, let me get this straight- you'll leave your child alone in a strange town with children she doesn't know and 100 random adults with cameras and you get pissed because the little idiot sprays grease on her face and washes it down with bleach? What kind of operation are you running at home anyway? I'm sorry but if your kid can't "make it in the wild" maybe it's because you're raising a domesticated urban child and not some feral lab rat for prime time entertainment. That's what the Real World is for.

I don't know about you but I'm so watching Kid Nation.

If some kid named "Piggy" dies, I’ve got a law firm waiting to represent someone in a copyright infringement suit....
