Kid Nation

Kid Nation, which aires Wednesdays on CBS, is probably one of the most controversial reality shows on television right now. The show, that films just south of Santa Fe in New Mexico, produced concerns about child endangerment among parents. The whole point of the series is to depict how young kids can run and rebuild their own town. Despite all the worrying and complaints, the first episode showed nothing more than homesickness and a child who pulled a muscle. I do think the show is a little tough for kids to be running their own town, where anything could happen to them. But then again, kids could get hurt in their own kitchen and in their own bedroom. They chose to come on this show, even after having the knowledge of what it's all about. Besides, I don't think CBS would film the series with the risk of having one of these kids get seriously injured. I'm sure they have medical physicians and all of the proper medical equipment on hand if an emergency was to occur.
