Reality shows with children

Recently I happened to watch an episode of a reality show featuring tiny tots, all in the age group of 3-5 years. It is like a question-answer session. Unsuitable questions are often thrown in and the children answer with all innocence. The answers are then thrown back to the audience (the parents) and twisted humor follows. It is amazing how the tiny tots are 'used'. It is even more amazing to watch parents do this to their children. Childhood seems to have acquired a whole new meaning.
There was this child who (in a very matured tone) declared solemnly that he watches only the NEWS channels ( God forbid). He is abreast with the news of elections to women abuse!!! Imagine a 4 year old talking about molestation of women!!
Do allow children to be children. Do not snatch away their childhood. Love them and live the moments.. It is not very soon that they will grow up ( physically) and move away from our lives
