Kids ghosthunting on the cartoon network..... ack! Boycott this NOW!
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.. Contact them at the link below and tell them you don't want your kids watching...

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.

I feel that the Cartoon Network should cancel the new kid ghosthunting show entitled The Othersiders. Ghost hunting should not be promoted to underage children. There may be dangers involved and I do NOT want my kids watching this show. I will be boycotting this show, the production company behind this show and the Cartoon Network. Let's be responsible in what we show our kids.
Cartoon Network thought they could just shove this garbage in front of our kids and hope we would stay silent. The surge of support proves they were dead wrong and now they have to answer for this pathetic exploitation.
