Ban Honey Boo and similar child exploitative shows from television

Created by W.C. on January 16, 2013

Several child-exploitative shows such as TLC's "Toddlers and Tiara" and more recently, "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" promote dangerous, damaging behavior on the behalf of parents exploiting young children for personal gain.

"Honey Boo Boo" follows the family of a six-year-old child forced to participate in pageants by her mother. Multiple articles have been published by psychological experts noting the dangers to the future self-image of the participants and viewers.

In addition, airing this show promotes the family's exceeding unhealthy lifestyle including obesity and poor dietary, exercise and sleep habits.
