As most Mondays begin as another boring school day for most kids, Mady and Cara face more teasing at school. What is it going to take for their parents, Jon and Kate to realize that the show has affected their children well being? "We will quit the show when the kids are no longer comfortable doing it", says Kate. Comfortable? What do the tups know? Kate has said herself that the tups know nothing else. Their entire lives have been lived in front of the cameras. Under the glaring hot lights, under the glaring scrutiny with Uncle Soundman and Auntie Producer following their every move. What else do they know?
The last statement issued after the segment yesterday frightens me, "Peterson is calling for an end to the show if it is harming them. How about halting production allowing experts to come in? When I refer to experts, I also think Kate's mental well being should be examined as well as the tups. How many lies does she need to caught in, how many family members does she need to kick to the curb and how many innocent lives does she have to destroy before anyone steps in?

Good points, all of these.
I am hoping that Paul Peterson's statement and the CNN segment will bring about change in all 50 states, not just Pennsylvania. Change the rules for ANY child who is put before a camera-that there are limits to exactly how much time they may be filmed each day, that they must have an impartial adult on the premises and that there must be a psychologist and/or social worker visiting the family at regular intervals.
If the show isn't bothering the twins, why oh why did they hang the sign up on the door to say no cameras allowed in their homework room?
Gee, why does Mady act up, oh, because she enjoys being teased and having her personal time aired on nationwide TV. This show has been hurting these kids from day one.
