ABC Brat Camp
Anonymous:
Exploiting underage children who have been molested (and who, therefore, are more vulnerable to exploitation in the first place) by smearing them and their issues all over primetime television is not 'helping' them.

"I worked on the American series, Brat Camp, and I have to say I am very ashamed to have done so.
The families and kids and Sagewalk were misled, to varying degrees, by the network and the producers.
I hope the public can see through the transparent hype that this show is in any way altruistic. I am permanently out of the 'reality tv' 'business' now.
I would leave me name, but fear being sued by people with more money and less morals than myself."

Can you please be more explicit? How were the families and kids misled?

I so upset that this new brat camp series is coming to ABC. As a young filmmaker I'm currently working on a documentary about children who were killed in both boot camps and wilderness programs. I've had to read about what happened to Aaron Bacon, Ian August, Tony Haynes, and so on. I know that there are some good outside programs but to allow this show to go on air with out any warning about the dangers that could happen is horrible and it a slap in the face to all the children who paid the ultimate price. They all suffered through such painful, humiliating, deaths, and the families receive little justice. It's just sad, and for the first time I am ashamed to be a part of the entertainment industry.

Wow! No, don't be ashamed of the industry. You are the industry! Do it w. integrity and be proud.

How terrible. I will not watch this trash. These children will grow up to hate their parents. Don't people realize how fragile teenagers really are. "Why don't we abandon our children, with strangers, and people will watch us."
This show smacks of rehabs in the eighties.
