CBS Was Warned on "Kid Nation," Documents Show
Pullquotes:
I think they intended to recreate Lord of the Flies but the effect was more Kamp Krusty. For this kind of bad publicity they should have at least got one or two pig heads on a stick, if not a full Battle Royale.
I suggest SURVIVOR: EXPOSED! in which infants will be left on mountaintops. As the show progresses, we find out which ones survive, raised by wolves, and return to the city to wreak a terrible vengeance.
Pullquotes:
Four children received medical treatment for accidentally drinking bleach, one child was burned on her face with hot grease while cooking in an unsupervised kitchen, and most of the children were required to work 14 hours or longer per day.Bonus points: The Attorney General investigating the event is named "Buzzard."
CBS officials had used the "camp" designation to characterize the reality show in discussions with parents.
CBS contended the children were not employees because they were not performing specific work for specific wages.

Let's put the execs out there and have the kids reenact The Children of the Corn. They're already damaged, at least they should have some fun with it.
Oh that is where....
Ah yes...
