"Jon And Kate" 8 Being Exploited?

Jon and Kate Gosselin, the stars of the hit reality television show, "Jon and Kate Plus Eight." With family matters in the public eye, such as fighting and infidelity, the welfare of the kids on "John & Kate Plus 8" is questioned.

These children need protection and from every angle. I stopped watching this so-called "reality show" almost from the beginning, because I found it disturbing how these children were paraded in front of cameras practically on every aspect of their private lives. There seemed to be no privacy in sight for these children. I think this "reality show" is currently floating on uncharted territory, so there's no telling at this point how it will effect these innocent children. And, because it is uncharted territory there seems to be no boundaries. How far is too far for a child "tv reality star"? A child actor is mostly protected by the child-actor laws, and at least gets to stop their work after a certain period of time, and then gets to go home to return to their real and private life. These children are living their "real" life almost always in front of a camera. The parents have both claimed that this is "normal" for their children, but does that make it alright, or even acceptable? It's one thing to document someone's life on occasion, but to have your entire life on display on a nearly daily basis is very, very disturbing to me. I refuse to support this show...I refuse to watch it, because I do not believe that filming these children's lives on this so-called "reality show" is safe, acceptable, or even "normal".

You make several valid points!!! I no longer watch this show either. It is sad to see parents sell out their children.

[Do NOT agree]

I find it amazing that these so called "non-watchers" would know anything valuable to the conversations?!!!!??? Go away Jodi and your (getting smaller by the minute) hater sheeple......you are sad and pathetic.....no money for you....good day!!!!

Digging in the back because there's nothing M or C have to say that I want to read.

i also think that it's wrong to film the children because at this time someone could come into there house and chop them up better than a buttcher. and i think that kate should go kick john but for cheating on her.and there only in it for the money LOSERS.

I don't agree with this. It isn't on a daily basis. There are seven days in a week. They play alot of reruns. You see them take trips here and there. It's not an everyday thing. Are you hittin' the sauce?

Oh, feel the love. I missed all of these "great" posts. My chicken salad with tomatoes on some fab bread still tastes just as good even with the insults hurled here. Keep throwing those toothpicks. That's about how much good you're doing. Like throwing a toothpick into a hurricane.
