The programme sees kids left in cottages in Cornwall where they live on there own, without their parents for 2 weeks. Channel 4 have already shown two episodes with only two left to air however, Cornwall County Council have written directly to Channel 4 and TV watchdog ‘Ofcom’ in an attempt to get the final two installments axed.
The letter was written by Ruby Parry, Cornwall County Council’s assistant director for social care and family services. It says that the experiment raised safeguard issues and affects the ‘emotional and psychological welfare of the children’.
The head of factual entertainment at Channel 4, Andrew Mackenzie has defended the show saying that the children’s welfare was top priority whilst filming and all the episodes were made within Ofcom guidelines.
Have channel 4 gone too far this time or is this just another case of ‘political correctness’ gone mad, comments are welcome…..
