Sign your life away????

I don't have kids, but I wouldn't do it. Even if it said that I COULD sue if they got an STD or dies, I wouldn't want to put them in a situation that could lead to that. I can't imagine a parent reading over that and saying "Okay! No problem!". There had to be something that let the parents decide it was okay... hopefully it isn't just for the money.

:| they can't sue if the kid dies?!?! that's messed up, i'd hate my mum if she were to sign something saying that.

My sister was actually chosen to be on the show. She had an interview over the phone and everything. However, after my parents learned about the dangers, they said NO WAY to letting her do it. Plus, she would miss a month or two of school. But, if I had kids, I would never do that. Some parents just want their children to have the fame, I suppose, but it's definitely not worth it.

If you balk at this, give up any idea of ever appearing on any reality TV show, then. Such waivers are standard for reality TV.

I put a copy of the agreement the parents had to sign in the links section if anyone is interested :)

I completely agree Harold,and you raise an excellent point, but signing that for a child is much different than signing it for an adult in my opinion. If I were to sign that for myself I would know that I wasn't going to have sex with other people therefore I would not have to worry about that. However, children are young and impressionable and no matter how well you raise your children they make mistakes. I just can't imagine signing something that says that my child might die! That is just scary!

some kids actually drank bleach that was in the sodas and had to be rushed to a hospital
