Juvies

Grey's was another rerun this week so I chose to write about MTV Juvies. I find this show very intriguing. The first episode I ever watched, I thought to myself, "This show is going to be awful." And yet now, I watch every new episode. It's really addicting. I think it draws people in because people love to watch others in trouble. We are nosey and like to know what exactly they did wrong and how they're going to "pay" for their wrong doings.
On this specific episode, there were two teenage sisters. They were put in Juvie because one sister tried to save her other sister from getting stabbed to death in the middle of a group fight. Now, I really liked these two girls because they didn't seem like delinquence, like most of the kids do. They were just caught at the wrong place at the wrong time. The judge really made them sweat when it came to their sentencing, and if I would have been the judge, I would have let them out and tracked down the girl that stabbed the older sister.
I get to thinking about why any parent would want their bad child on t.v.? Obviously these kids are still minors so they can't sign away consent to have their faces not blurred out so I wonder if these families get paid for "telling their story." I bet they get something out of it. That's just another thing wrong with our society.
