Did anybody watch this channel 4 documentary last night??
I didn't think I would enjoy the programme and I was right! Some of it made very uncomfortable viewing! I certainly won't watch the next 3 parts!!
I'm not "mother earth" but I try to be a good Mum. What kind of parent would put their kids through that in the first place never mind walk away from them banging their head off a wall and crying and pleading to come home!! :twisted:

We actually quite enjoyed this documentary , but I don,t thing any young ones watching will take any of it in, well not as long as their mammies still keep spoon feeding them.

I didn`t watch it, but really felt for the little boy on the clip I saw this morning, begging his mum not to send him back in there.

Haha. I watched it and found it very amusing, actually. :lol:

I am looking forward to watching the next few parts.

The ginger haired girl that was being bullied I think she is kind of making herself get bullied, if that makes sence.
Like, she keeps going back for more?

Anyway, I enjoyed it, very amusing.

I feel the 8 and 9 year olds still need their mammies "spoon feeding" them!
The interesting bit was watching how the girls - in between the bullying - got their houses set up and had 3 square meals while the boys played with the toys and ate chips and cheese :lol:

I still won't be tempted to tune in for more though!

Maybe boys can't,but they do grow up to become the worlds best chefs. :wink:

Ags I'm sure I read somewhere that this programme gets shut down before the final episode.

Gutter entertainment for the masses, not much has changed since the Roman arenas except there's no wild animals and weapons....yet.
Do you not think we have sunk a bit low when this sort of rubbish is on our TV screens ? The parents that let their kids be involved in this should be deeply ashamed.
Just my humble opinion.
