The geniuses that brought you Survivor have come up with a brand new show: Recovery will focus on kidnappings.
Posted by Casper at April 10, 2004 02:22 PMIndividuals and organizations that work on behalf of missing children, including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, say the show's premise runs contrary to the commonly held principle of relying on legal authorities to handle recovery cases. They also were scathing in their criticism of using such cases for any entertainment purpose.
"The idea for Mark Burnett's new reality show of snatching children sickens me," said Lindsey Brooks, investigating manager for Child Quest International in Campbell, Calif. "These children he plans to recover have already been extremely emotionally damaged by being abducted. Now Burnett wants to exploit them by being on a TV show."
