I am completely against all those TV shows which bring in the 'services' of kids. Childhood is something to be cherished and its the duty of every parent to provide the same to their children. It is the most important building block of a person's career/life. Its a period where kids should engage themselves with their studies and play. In fact, the latter is more important. Engaging these kids in such TV shows will only ruin the most important part of their life. Sometimes it really hurts when I watch kids breaking down, unable to withstand failures. Not to forget the girl who committed suicide for losing in a reality show.

Only the greed of the parents and the efforts of the tv channels to boost up their TRPs are to be blamed. Now its Vijay tv and soon Kalaignar tv would come up with 'Maanada Mayilaada-Jr Spl' with useless dance masters commenting on the 'Chemistry' between a 12 yr old and an 8 yr old. God save India!!

Yes.

I remember a banner in Villupuram region on seeing your post. The banner was made to celebrate Vijay's new release (VK or Sura. Not sure).

The banner comprised of all the usual elements along with the Fan Club members and their photos. I was shocked to see the photos of School going kids (Hardly 15 yrs) in that banner. How idiotic?

Parents and the entire family are to be blamed.
