CBS Screens "Kid Nation" For Select Schools

Variety:

CBS is taking its marketing message for "Kid Nation" directly to the show's target audience: kids.

Without fanfare, net has set up screenings of its controversial reality show at a number of elementary schools around the country. Students, parents and teachers have been invited to screenings set up by local CBS stations in major markets such as Miami, Philadelphia, Chicago, Boston and Denver.

Net is exposing the show to potential viewers even though it's decided against making copies of the first episode of "Kid Nation" available to crix. It's not uncommon for nets to withhold review copies of reality shows, going all the way back to the Eye's decision against mailing tapes of "Survivor" to journos back in 2000.

Some injuries occurred on the set. Four children needed medical attention after drinking bleach that had been left in an unmarked soda bottle, a girl sprained her arm, becoming one of two children to visit a local emergency room, and an 11-year-old girl who was cooking burned her face with splattered grease.[9][10][1] That child's mother, Janis Miles, filed a complaint in June calling for an investigation into "abusive acts to minors and possible violations of child labor laws." The claim was investigated by Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office, which found no criminal wrongdoing doing on the part of the production company.[9] CBS said it stood by the procedures it had in place and its "response to all the minor injuries". The network rejected "irresponsible allegations or any attempts to misrepresent and exaggerate events or spread false claims about what happened."[11]

Los Angeles Times reporter Maria Elena Fernandez interviewed four of the children, who told her they "had to rough it without electricity or running water, sleep on bed rolls on the floor, cook their own meals, clean the town, run businesses, survive on three changes of clothes and set up their own hours and rules. Although three of them said they worked harder than they ever had in their lives, all four said the most challenging aspect was getting used to being filmed constantly." All four said they would happily do it again, although as Fernandez notes, "they haven't seen themselves on TV yet."[3]

The Kid Nation contract signed by the parents showed that the parents signed away a lot of their children rights. One notable thing was that consent was given to CBS and its production partners to make medical treatment decisions on the minor’s behalf .[12]

ex State Senator for Nebraska, John DeCamp knows...
Listen to him interviewed

Conspiracy of Silence, a documentary listed for viewing in TV Guide Magazine was to be aired on the Discovery Channel, on May 3, 1994. This documentary exposed a network of religious leaders and Washington politicians who flew children to Washington D.C. for sex orgies.




Many children suffered the indignity of wearing nothing but their underwear and a number displayed on a piece of cardboard hanging from their necks when being auctioned off to foreigners in Las Vegas, Nevada and Toronto, Canada.




At the last minute before airing, unknown congressmen threatened the TV Cable industry with restrictive legislation if this documentary was aired. Almost immediately, the rights to the documentary were purchased by unknown persons who had ordered all copies destroyed.




A copy of this videotape was furnished anonymously to former Nebraska state senator and attorney John De Camp who made it available to retired FBI Agent Ted L. Gunderson. While the video quality is not top grade, this tape is a blockbuster in what is revealed by the participants involved.

These debriefings were conducted by Mrs. Julie Walters, another welfare officer, who worked for Boys Town at the time, and who had been called in because of the constant reference by the Webb children and others, to that institution.

Lisa, supported by her sister, detailed a massive child sex, homosexual, and pornography industry, run in Nebraska by Larry King. She described how she was regularly taken to Washington by plane, with other youths, to attend parties hosted by King and involving many prominent people, including businessmen and politicians. Lisa specifically named George Bush as being in attendance on at least two separate occasions. ``Remember, this was in 1985,'' emphasized the Australian newsletter.
