Kids ghosthunting on the cartoon network - Watch below and Boycott this immediately!
Not sure if you have heard about the new reality series on the cartoon
network called "the othersiders". It's a show about children exploring
haunted locations. I don't think these networks will ever learn how
irresponsible they are being. Here's a link:

I keep thinking of the pink Ouija board that is for sale at Toys R US.....
you have to be 16 to drive, 18 to smoke, 21 to drink. But kids watching
the cartoon network can learn to ghosthunt.... age of accountability
age of responsibility Kids should not be dealing with after death issues.
Adults have enough difficulty with this stuff. Pass this along and prepare
for the next wave of TV exploitation... as well as all the kids who
will be sucked into it unprepared, uneducated and unprotected.
Boycott it.. Click the Contact link at the bottom if

This was what I wrote:
The Othersiders. You are being irresponsible in letting kids ghosthunt
on television. We deal with kids who have suffered traumatic events
after a ghost hunt went wrong. We talk to the parents and try to help
these families. You have to be 16/18 to drive, 18 to smoke, 21 to drink,
but you will let kids deal with after death issues and be role models
for other kids. What will happen when one of your kids gets affected
by a ghost or spirit and suffers irreparable harm? NDA's may protect
you for awhile, but the word will spread and your show will hopefully
be pulled from the network.
We have started a boycott of your show related to the Dangers of the
Paranormal project. Why? Every leading paranormal expert in the field
agrees that ghost hunting is NOT for kids. The production company you
are representing when picking up this project knows that. Other production
companies know that. (EDITED OUT). You, as the network carrying this
program will be held responsible. It is not about ratings or the politics
of having a show that can take advantage of the market. It is about
kids being placed into danger and other kids imitating them. some of
these couch kids will be hurt. The parents will contact us and we will
be the first to interview them for the Dangers of the Paranormal project.
It is just a matter of time. Think about the reputation of the cartoon
network because it is at stake.
