Boat Operator Involved In Crash Appears On Reality TV Show

POSTED: 6:37 am EDT August 5, 2005
UPDATED: 6:57 am EDT August 5, 2005

WRENTHAM, Mass. -- Wrentham authorities said the operator of the powerboat was watching her boyfriend on a knee board when she hit the other boat.

One of the injured suffered three broken ribs.

The boat operator has now been identified as Jada Chabot, 15, who appears on the TV reality show, "Brat Camp."

Chabot faces multiple charges in the incident.

Well let's see .. that's 2 outta 9 ... personally I am not surprised.  These are kids.  Kids make mistakes, some more egregious than others.  My question would be WHO allowed her to operate the boat (what's the age requirement for operating a boat in her state?)

Can't really fault the media for making the Brat Camp connection ... sensational headlines sell ... news is a business just like wilderness therapy camps.

I feel so sorry for these kids. Not only were they forced to go through that hellish camp, and tell the whole world about their personal issues-- now they're being followed around and every mistake they make is in the headlines.

I still can't believe their parents were dumb enough to put them in this messed up "reality" show.

Yes, I agree.

Anywhere else, these hometown stories would not make national headlines.

The kids really are in a fishbowl, now so more than ever. The parents should have taken the long view and passed on consenting to allow their children to participate in a made-for-primetime-tv reality show.

Well, it was Jada's parents, of all of them, who questioned their decision but were guilt tripped by the eagle man to leave her there.
Basically told them she was lying and manipulating.

Hmmm .. MA has some of the tougher requirements.
Thanks Anon!

----------------------------------------

Youth ages 12 through 15 are required to pass a state and nationally approved boating education course and obtain a state Safety Certificate, before they can operate a motorboat without adult supervision. Persons 16 years of age and older may operate a motorboat on Massachusetts' waters without any education requirements. Exception for boaters who operate a PWC (personal Watercraft): youth 16 and 17 years old must pass a state and nationally approved boating education course and obtain a state Safety Certificate. Youth under 16 years of age are not allowed to operate a PWC. Persons 18 years of age and older may operate a PWC without any safety education requirements.

Where does this end?  These kids are ruined for life, who will hold the provider, ed consultants, and others who pushed for this, and are praising it accountable?  These poor kids!

TV Brat Camper crashes boat into family
By Casey Ross
Friday, August 5, 2005 - Updated: 08:28 AM EST

Brat Camp? ABC might want to try prison camp for Boston's latest reality TV superjerk.
 
     Jada Chabot, 15, who is one of nine misfits on the new ``Brat Camp'' show, is facing multiple police charges, including negligent operation, after she and her boyfriend slammed a speedboat into a Foxboro family on Wrentham Pond.
 
     ``I thought we were all gonna die,'' Agenor Moraes said, recalling the moment Wednesday evening when he saw Chabot's boat speeding toward his family, who were in an inflatable boat. ``I thought I was going to see a body on the water with blood.''
 

 
     Instead, the collision with the Boston brat left two of Moraes' children with injuries and his 8-month-old boy kicking and screaming in the water. Moraes' 16-year-old daughter, Grafieli, is still recovering in the hospital with three broken ribs.
 
     Chabot's parents decided to put her on ``Brat Camp,'' which seeks to reform troubled teens by tossing them into a rigorous wilderness program, because she had become impossible to discipline. The show features the struggles of Chabot and the other brats as they battle with the Oregon outdoors and with their own dysfunctional personalities.
 
     Wednesday's crash, which occurred while Chabot was pulling her boyfriend on a knee board, was just the latest screw-up in Chabot's distinguished career of delinquency.
 
     The TV show's Web site describes her as a ``compulsive liar who is always making excuses.''
 
     ``Jada refuses to go to school,'' the Web site says. ``She has dropped out of two boarding schools and nine private schools in the last six years. Instead of going to school, she throws parties and experiments with sex, drugs and alcohol.''
 
     Moraes said he was more focused on healing his own family last night than pulling for the remarkable comeback ABC might have been plotting for Chabot.
 
     ``I'm just thinking about my daughter,'' he said. ``We're going to go visit her now in the hospital. It's very bad.''
 
     ``We were just trying to fish when we saw the boat coming at us,'' he added. ``She was looking at the guy she was pulling around. He yelled at her to watch, but she just kept looking at him.

How the hell do they expect her to behave better when they're all treating her like shit (calling her a "brat", talking about her "distinguished career of delinquency"-- has this girl done anything "bad" except for not going to school and partying? Sure, it's not all that positive a behavior, but since when is it a crime?), making headlines out of every mistake she makes, and basically making a mockery of her personal life?

Her parents should be ashamed of themselves.

I'll bet they are. I also bet they had not considered this consequence of allowing their daughter to take part in Brat camp - ya know - the Fish Bowl effect.

Its very true that this same event for any other kid would never get this kind of attention. Maybe a paragraph in the metro section of the local paper, at most.

Seems like she should have been placed in a therapeutic school after wilderness.  She needed more treatment.

Right, treatment, for careless motor boat operation.

Christ on a crutch, dude! You really think this mysterious miraculous program of yours is the answer to everything, don't you?

If we choose to violate the rights of the innocent in order to discover and act against the guilty, then we have transformed our country into a police state and abandoned one of the fundamental tenants of a free society. In order to win the war on drugs, we must not sacrifice the life of the Constitution in the battle.
--US District Judge H. Lee Sarokin
