Kid Nation – Reality Show – CBS – New York Times
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 22 — Children who participated in “Kid Nation,” a CBS reality show that has come under fire over questions of whether it violated child safety and labor laws, were required to do whatever they were told by the show’s producers, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, or risk expulsion from the show, according to a copy of the contract signed by the children and their parents.
Of course, parents and kids are also solely responsible for any “emotional distress, illness, sexually transmitted diseases, H.I.V. and pregnancy” that might occur if the child “chooses to enter into an intimate relationship of any nature with another participant or any other person.”
Me thinks something is rotten in New Mexico and I can smell it from here.

I agree! I would never allow my child to participate in something like this. It’s completely stupid and there is no way I would watch it. I personally have better things to do with my time.
I did not know that!!
But I never have seen the show and don’t plan to.
I wouldn’t let my child do participate in it either. (if I had one)
