“Kids in Rehab” with Linda Ellerbee

You’ve got to be kidding me! This Sunday at 8:00 pm there is a special which will premiere on Nickelodeon entitled, “Kids in Rehab”. Yes, seriously!

Where to begin?!

This is a disgrace! I’m absolutely appalled that they’re going to show little kids other little kids talking about using drugs on a kids network. All of the who, what, where, when and why’s in glorious, cringe-inducing detail. Our children don’t need to be exposed and subjected to that!

According to Linda Ellerbee:

“We live in a culture where drug use is glamorized, and celebrities may be sending a message that going to rehab is sort of like going to a spa.”

“But real rehab is no spa. Some brave kids spoke to us honestly about their drug abuse, what it’s like to be a kid in rehab and what it’s like to try to live clean and sober after that. And it ain’t easy.”

Gee, thanks Linda.

Too bad kids don’t usually hear the negative side of the things that they shouldn’t do. They can’t totally comprehend it. All they know is that lots of other kids are doing it, so maybe they’ll think that it’s ok. I would never let my kids watch that, and I never thought I’d have to even monitor what they watch on Nickelodeon closely. NICKELODEON!

Sheesh!
