Lakewood bicycle accident attorney
So far so good,
2023.04.01 11:55 pkemp14 So far so good,
Nobody has a clue that I’m about to check out early. I carry myself around like dead weight, but still no-one knows what I’m dealing with. This is all because I know it may effect people around me negatively when I leave. And if they have any suspicion that I’m suicidal, they will feel guilty for not doing anything about it while I was alive. It will catch everyone off guard.
Every day after work I test out an old disposable shotgun by cycling it, holding it to my head and pulling the trigger. Sometimes it gives me a little clarity. But it becomes practice to normalize it and one day I’ll have to courage to drop in that buckshot shell first.
I hate myself so much that I stand in the shower as hot as possible and pretend its gasoline on fire. I’ll stand there feeling the pain and imagine disappearing into ash.
I’ve tried crashing a motorcycle and spent a month in critical, I rode my bicycle in front of bus and got hit, flat lined twice in hospital. Numerous dangerous stunts so my death looks like an accident to lessen the blow to my folks.
I don’t want to be here. I don’t belong here. I’m 45 and this has been brewing since I was a child. Please just let me go.

2023.04.01 04:05 madelinebuns30 Something that I have never understood
I’m on my…. Idk maybe my 9th rewatch and something has bothered me ever since my first watch. In the pilot, after Sam gets out of the shower, he and Lori are chatting and she says that his beeper went off. She continues to say that she memorized the message just in case. “POTUS in a bicycle accident.” When Sam starts getting ready to leave she says “tell your friend he has a funny name”. Then Sam corrects her that it’s his boss.
Later we find out that Lori is in her third year of law school… allegedly close to graduating.
You’re trying to tell me that this woman has graduated college, undergrad and is incredibly close to graduating law school and somehow she doesn’t know that “POTUS” stands for President of the United States??? It’s entirely possible that the writers didn’t know that they would eventually send Lori to law school at the time that they wrote the pilot, but it still seems like a such a weird continuity error.
Has this ever bothered anyone else?! Just me?!

2023.03.31 21:02 legitmindkushion [OHIO] Consulting with an attorney for a lawsuit of less than $100?
Hey there, people of legaladvice.
I've posted here before regarding my living situation, and I was pretty clueless on what to do at the time.
I have been stuck in a lease with a nightmare roommate, who has refused to let me move out or find a replacement for myself. On top of that, he has consistently failed to pay an equal share of rent since we began living together. Up until recently, I wasn't keeping very good track of the situation, or keeping physical or written evidence, but now, I have.
Essentially, to give a brief overview of the situation, my roommate was short by $75 on rent this month. This was not an accident, as he made it aware that he felt that was all he was obligated to pay. Well, I took this information to my leasing office, since I have it in writing that he agreed to pay a higher amount earlier this month. They told me that although they cannot evict him alone, and the way we split the rent is based on honor, they informed me that if I sued him in court for the lost fees and win, I will no longer be bound to the lease by him and will be able to move out without his permission.
Now, the only amount that I can provide hard evidence of him owing is less than $100, which is absolutely a small-claims issue. But, I would still like to consult with an attorney if possible, just because I have a feeling he might lawyer up in an attempt to fight it. No matter what hard evidence I have, I don't want to be the one to go into court without a lawyer when the other guy has one, y'know what I mean? The amount of money is truly meaningless to me, I would be content if the most I could get out of him is $10, or even less. All I need is a win, and then I'm free from the year-and-a-half long nightmare I've been living in.
[EDITED TO CLARIFY:] I'm really having a tough time finding a lawyer that deals with small claims issues like this. Is there a specific kind of lawyer I should be looking into hiring for a consultation on this matter? Is a consultation enough, or should I be prepared to fully enlist their services in the trial? Is there any other advice that you can offer me, just so I can go into this situation equipped with everything I possibly need?
Thanks in advance!

2023.03.31 19:46 ddybup "Easier than riding a bike"
I'm a Psychology student and I'm in the second semester and an interesting subject came up in the classroom.
Have any of you ever forgotten how to ride a bike or do a trivial activity that is considered basic?
It was once said in my class that if we have this type of experience it can be correlated with some kind of neuromotor problem or brain damage, as in the case of accidents.
A colleague and I, we are ADHD, she is borderline and I am bipolar, we forgot how to ride a bicycle, if we go up nowadays we simply fall, what do you think about it? share your experiences!

So Indicted, He Just Can't Hide It
Hahahahaha…what???- Fucking buckle up, everyone. The Manhattan grand jury investigating disgraced former president Donald Trump’s hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels voted! to! indict! the former president on Thursday, according to five anonymous sources. He will be the first former president in American history to face criminal charges. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg inherited this case from his predecessor Cy Vance, and initially received backlash from both Democrats and those in his own office for declining to pursue an indictment related to the fraudulent valuation tactics he used in his real estate business. His office decided to pursue the Daniels case instead.
- But wait—didn’t every major news outlet tell us just a few days ago that the Grand Jury would adjourn until the end of April? Yes. The recess was set to begin next week, but the grand jury was already scheduled to meet today in the Manhattan courthouse at 2 p.m., and its voting procedures are fairly unambiguous, requiring a simple majority. It should be noted that anonymous sources have been kind of…wrong about certain details related to this case in recent days, so there is a chance that certain details of this reporting are also in some way erroneous, but as I speed-write this digest as fast as my little fingers can go, the indictment has been confirmed by most of the major news outlets and Bragg himself. Less than one hour after the indictment news broke, Trump’s own lawyers confirmed as well.
- Despite leading Meatball Ron DeSanctimonious by huge margins in most GOP presidential primary polls, Trump has experienced a series of major setbacks in the past few weeks across the various investigations of his many crimes. In the past week, judges have ruled that former vice president Mike Pence, former chief of staff Mark Meadows, and other former Trump aides must testify in front of a different grand jury investigating his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. The White House and the Justice Department both declined to comment on Thursday’s indictment.
- As of now, there are quite a few things we just don’t know. In particular, the charges laid out in the indictment are still unknown, because it has yet to be unsealed. However, an indictment of any kind is likely to shake-up the Republican presidential primary field, which Trump currently leads comfortably, and U.S. politics more generally. It’s important to note, though, that neither indictment nor conviction would prohibit him from running for office. Could he run for president from prison as a practical matter? We may live to find out, I guess!
- We also don’t know whether the scope of the indictment exceeds the hush money payment per se. (Does it include obstruction of justice? Other crimes?) But I guess that’s all part of the fun for now. We also don’t exactly know how Trump’s unhinged GOP allies in Congress will react to this, let alone his legions of loyal followers who were planning to make him the next GOP presidential nominee for 2024. We do know that when the indictment was announced on Fox News, there were audible gasps from the studio panel. Pretty good stuff if you ask me!

Under The Radar
Russia has charged U.S. Wall Street Journal correspondent Evan Gershkovich with spying. The White House announced that the State Department was in direct contact with the Kremlin regarding his detention. This case will undoubtedly put further strain on the already threadbare relations between Moscow and Washington. Gershkovich is the highest-profile American to be targeted and detained since basketball star Brittney Griner’s 10-month ordeal last year. Russia’s intelligence agency the FSB said it arrested Gershkovich, who has been working as a journalist in the country for six years, on grounds of suspected “spying in the interests of the American government,” by collecting information about “one of the enterprises” in the Russian military-industrial complex, but did not specify which. Under Russian law, espionage can be punishable by up to 20 years in prison. The Journal released a statement saying it “vehemently denies the allegations from the FSB and seeks the immediate release of our trusted and dedicated reporter.” Russian state TV has been running lengthy segments on Gershkovich, calling him an “openly propagandist character.” So what, exactly, has Gershkovich done to garner this level of castigation and legal retribution? Well, he has recently released several articles detailing the unraveling of the Russian economy as a result of Western sanctions, a depleted labor force, and heavily strained government finances.What Else?

You Gotta Be Fucking Kidding Me
In one of the most high-profile prosecutions stemming from the January 6 insurrection, at least four FBI informants were approached to testify for the defense. Two more are themselves on trial. One of the informants was a man who went only by “Aaron,” and joined the Kansas City Chapter of the far-right group the Proud Boys in 2019. He had been working with federal law enforcement for a decade. Federal prosecutors undermined Aaron’s credibility, saying that he deleted evidence and repeatedly understated his own participation in the riot, as well as the culpability of the Proud Boys as an organization. The case of “Aaron” and informants like him highlight the intelligence failures that both led to and exacerbated the events of January 6. The FBI was embarrassingly unprepared despite having inroads to groups like the Proud Boys. Aaron admitted to entering the Capitol without FBI authorization and concealed that he helped prop open a gate for other rioters. Evidence shown in the court proceedings indicates that many of the FBI informants inside the Proud Boys were only asked to give information about their ideological opponents on the left, like the nebulous “antifa,” despite the fact that the Proud Boys were implicated in threats and violence across the United States. Hmm…seems like American law enforcement might have a right-wing extremist problem? If only someone had told us.What A Sponsor

2023.03.31 15:34 medicolegalrequest Sample Demand Letter What do I need to Include in a settlement demand letter?
 | Drafting a settlement demand letterEvery settlement demand letter is unique because it is based on the specific facts and circumstances of the case. Let's go through a few guidelines for drafting a settlement demand letter.Sample-Demand Letter Types of Demand Letter:
Stay Organized and ConciseYour letter should be clear, concise, specific, and to the point. Draft an outline first, then write your letter based on your outline. In a personal injury claim, the core of your letter should focus on:
Maintain a Professional ToneDo not use provocative or abusive language. The adjuster will reject your demands if you rant and rave about how the accident was not your fault. Instead, be precise and succinct. Describe your legal justifications for culpability. Exaggerations that are over the top damage your credibility with the insurance adjuster.Include Relevant DocumentDocumentation can strengthen your claim. Relevant documentation might include:
Make your Case Stand OutYour medical records will provide the claims adjuster with the majority of the data. The claims adjuster does not need you to explain anything that may appear in your records.Instead, pay attention to the details that don't show up in your records. For instance, you could describe how eye injuries might force you to change careers since you are unable to see clearly enough to continue working as a machinist. Talk about the discomfort you feel when driving. Examine your doctor's diagnosis that you will live with arthritis in your wounded hip. Recognition: Most of the claim files that the adjuster has are for anonymous, faceless parties. The claim adjuster can connect your case to a real person if you highlight a few distinctive facts. Pain and Suffering: You can claim damages for pain and suffering if the medical expenses exceed some amount or the injuries include:
Explain why you Deserve more Money for your ClaimThe amount paid to settle your claim by the claims adjuster must be defended. Include clear information about the reasons your claim deserves the highest amount of compensation.For instance, you had a long-term impairment that precludes you from engaging in some activities. Your wounds required numerous operations and weeks of rehab. You should describe the extent of your injuries, your medical expenses, the time you missed at work, and your pain and suffering in order to support the amount you are asking for.

2023.03.31 15:26 PlateMediocre8158 A 4am discovery on a country road.
A few years ago I was driving home from partying with some friends at about 4am in upstate New York. I was driving on a pretty remote backroad not near any houses when I came across a very odd scene. There was a bicycle in the middle of the road and a car crashed into an embankment facing my car on the oncoming side of the road.
I pulled up to the car and inside was a boy aged 17-20, I’ll call him Jeff. Jeff was trying to get the car to move out of the ditch but it wasn’t working. He was totally panicked and disoriented. I asked him if he was okay and he quickly told me that this car was not his, and that he had been on the bike which was in the street. I said well who’s car is this since there was no one else around to which he said there was someone “in there” and he pointed to a wooded area just off the side of the road.
A bit startled I asked Jeff if the driver of the crashed car was okay? He said he wasn’t sure. I urged him to get out of the car and find the other person in the wooded area but he was clearly reluctant. He half heartedly called out for the driver and sort of walked around the edge of the tree line for a minute before walking towards my car. He clearly wasn’t interested in finding or helping whoever had crashed. I never heard any sound coming from those woods for the duration of this event.
As he approached my car I realized Jeff was covered in mud, which was alarming to me since the way the car had crashed wouldn’t have caused him to get so muddy, he could get in and out of the car somewhat normally. I told him that we needed to call the police and get help for the person who was in the woods but Jeff said that he didn’t want to get in trouble. When I made it clear I was pulling out my phone to call 911 he stopped me and offered me a deal.
Jeff said he would call the police, but first I had to leave. I told him no, that if I left I was going to call the police and tell them everything. He didn’t like that option so he came up with his next best offer, call the police himself while I stayed there with him and listened. He called and only told them there was a car accident. Didn’t mention that anyone was hurt, didn’t mention the other person in the woods, or that he himself was involved in any way. He then hung up and told me he was leaving and started walking towards his bike.
I drove away, and I called the police immediately. I explained to the dispatcher everything and she immediately upgraded the situation to a higher level and sent an ambulance to the scene. The police arrived and picked up Jeff who was fleeing the scene on his bike. That’s all I ever found out from police, and I have always wondered what the hell actually happened that night.

2023.03.31 13:41 dahill52 Car accident
I live in Michigan, where your eligible for up to 3000 in damages if the accident was not your fault.
I was in an accident. The other party/insurance is screwing me. Here is the basic story.
Guy in truck tried to pass me in slick conditions. He lost control and fish tailed his back end into my front causing my car to go offroad and take severe damage.
At the scene, he took full responsibility, apologized profusely and insisted I get his phone number and let him know if I needed $$ or anything for damages.
He gave me his insurance info and license. It was taking a while for the police to arrive and he had something important to do so he left.
Police arrived, I told him what happened, he wrote a police report, including that the other guys car hit mine. There is damage on my car where he hit me.
As you could guess, his insurance eventually denied my claim saying that the other party stated his car did not hit mine, and due to the fact that his car had no damage.
They also said that since the other party wasn't present for the police report, it was irrelevant. I texted the guy begging for help. No response.
I have a witness who was very helpful, only, she is very honest and stated she could not see whether or not my car was hit directly.
My insurance could only give me advice and cant help me.
I reached out to an attorney today, no response.

I was in an accident. The other party/insurance is screwing me. Here is the basic story.
Guy in truck tried to pass me in slick conditions. He lost control and fish tailed his back end into my front causing my car to go offroad and take severe damage.
At the scene, he took full responsibility, apologized profusely and insisted I get his phone number and let him know if I needed $$ or anything for damages.
He gave me his insurance info and license. It was taking a while for the police to arrive and he had something important to do so he left.

2023.03.31 06:50 PlateMediocre8158 A car crash and a muddy kid.
A few years ago I was driving home from partying with some friends at about 4am in upstate New York. I was driving on a pretty remote backroad not near any houses when I came across a very odd scene. There was a bicycle in the middle of the road and a car crashed into an embankment facing my car on the oncoming side of the road.
I pulled up to the car and inside was a boy aged 17-20, I’ll call him Jeff. Jeff was trying to get the car to move out of the ditch but it wasn’t working. He was totally panicked and disoriented. I asked him if he was okay and he quickly told me that this car was not his, and that he had been on the bike which was in the street. I said well who’s car is this since there was no one else around to which he said there was someone “in there” and he pointed to a wooded area just off the side of the road.
A bit startled I asked Jeff if the driver of the crashed car was okay? He said he wasn’t sure. I urged him to get out of the car and find the other person in the wooded area but he was clearly reluctant. He half heartedly called out for the driver and sort of walked around the edge of the tree line for a minute before walking towards my car. He clearly wasn’t interested in finding or helping whoever had crashed. I never heard any sound coming from those woods for the duration of this event.
As he approached my car I realized Jeff was covered in mud, which was alarming to me since the way the car had crashed wouldn’t have caused him to get so muddy, he could get in and out of the car somewhat normally. I told him that we needed to call the police and get help for the person who was in the woods but Jeff said that he didn’t want to get in trouble. When I made it clear I was pulling out my phone to call 911 he stopped me and offered me a deal.
Jeff said he would call the police, but first I had to leave. I told him no, that if I left I was going to call the police and tell them everything. He didn’t like that option so he came up with his next best offer, call the police himself while I stayed there with him and listened. He called and only told them there was a car accident. Didn’t mention that anyone was hurt, didn’t mention the other person in the woods, or that he himself was involved in any way. He then hung up and told me he was leaving and started walking towards his bike.
I drove away, and I called the police immediately. I explained to the dispatcher everything and she immediately upgraded the situation to a higher level and sent an ambulance to the scene. The police arrived and picked up Jeff who was fleeing the scene on his bike. That’s all I ever found out from police, and I have always wondered what the hell actually happened that night.

 | submitted by mwkzagsizs to pp09cvt3oz [link] [comments] IF YOU TAP HERE YOU WILL CUMIF YOU TAP HERE YOU WILL CUMIF YOU TAP HERE YOU WILL CUMProcessing gif 68si7yyuwzqa1...My cock was now completely hard. I leaned back on my bed and pulled Emily with me. My mouth still sucking her nipples. I quickly ran back to my room. I hoped I would be able to withstand Tess’s hypnotizing powers, but just to be sure, I wrote a quick note to my future self, explaining the situation and most importantly, the codewords ‘buttercup’, ‘breadcrumb’ and ‘bicycle’. After that, I grabbed the game controller and pretended to be fully engrossed in my game. It wasn’t long before Tess came into my room. "Oh come on babe. It just a bit of fun." “yea it’s hot too,” I said as I unzipped my life jacket. He kissed her hard, and then walked away. Her pussy fluttered between her legs. Instead of chasing him and fucking him right out there in front of her mother, though, she walked down to the basement. Once she was down the wooden stair, she saw her father, working on a bird house at his table. “I'm here, Daddy,” she said in her sexiest voice. I got up at one point and looked across to her window but I didn’t see her. Either she was lying on her bed or she was down in the living room. I sighed and glanced at my phone again. Should I text her? Just to say ‘hey’? No, she was trying to concentrate and if I texted her, she’d feel obligated to text back and then we’d start a conversation and she wouldn’t get back to her book… It was late one night, but it’s late every night, pretty close to Christmas I was home alone. I was watching TV when my cell phone went off. It was a girl from school I knew. Her name was Alexis, she was a little shorter than me, weighs 110, her hair is straight, long and black with a streak of blond, was a B size bra and a huge, round, firm ass. I was surprised she was texting me since we hated each other. She used me to get her ex mad, and then called it off with me. So I got her back and then I used her to get my ex mad and dumped her. It was official we hated each other every one in school knew. She texted me "Sorry, for everything I have ever done to you I really hope you take this apologie Goodbye." I knew she wanted me for some reason I replied "How do I know your telling the truth is it just cause I was cheated on a couple of days ago and you know I’m single or are you just playing me again?" She then replied "I know I have done bad stuff and I know you hate me but I really want a second chance I had a dream about you look come over to my house tonight please...." I had a bad feeling about this but I had to throw away those feelings. So I walked to Alexis' house (which unfortunately enough is two miles away and I had no car). The cold blinding darkness that engulfed me was enough to make me wanna turn around but I was lonely and I needed someone since I was recently cheated on. I got to her house and she texted me “Come through the window..." I started toward a screen window that went to her room I waited for a minute and then see a small Converse shoe fly threw the screen as it falls to the floor “Come in" Alexis whispered. I climbed through the window, immediately her scent hit my nose she smelt beautiful, she was wearing a bright green tank top that hugged her body and black loose athletic short shorts. She came close to me and whispered "Thanks for coming." She got so close I could feel her warmth. Her scent and warmth was now kind of turning me on. "So, what did you want?" I asked “Forgiveness and a second chance" she replied. I wondered what she meant by that we sat down and watched TV. There was so much tension I sat next to her. She was so warm I brushed my arm against her by accident she looked at me and I looked at her, our eyes connected and I moved closer and put my hand on her knee she then moved her head towards mine and gave me a kiss I moved her under me and I started kissing her I moved my tongue in and out of her mouth till she moved her tongue into mine we played with each others tongues for a while till I felt her little hand on my belt. She struggled trying to take it off. Now I was wishing I wasn’t wearing a belt. I took off my belt and she put her hand down my pants I moved back and was making out with her for a while then I moved my mouth towards her neck she immediately got turned on. I started kissing and sucking her neck I left her a hicky for everyone at school to see on Monday. I started moving her tank top off but she wouldn’t have that, she took her hand out of my pants and started to move her shirt back to its normal place. I started rubbing her leg up and down she didn’t seem to mind. I moved up her black short shorts to her underwear. I took off her shorts and started rubbing her pussy area I looked at her panties the wear black with a pink bow sewed on I also noticed a huge dark spot I felt it and it was wet and warm. She blushed and giggled. I then tried taking off her shirt this time and with a huge success got it off I had this cute girl wearing a black bra and panties under neath me. She giggled and then skillfully took my shirt off I was so horny, she could tell by the way my dick was sticking out. She wanted to let it free she unbuttoned my pants and pulled my black boxer briefs down. Blushing and smiling she held my dick in both of her hands she said "I didn’t know you were so big" and giggled then looked into my eyes and said "Can I .....lick it?" I replied "Do whatever you want with it." She giggled and licked the tip of my head my cold dick felt so good against her warm tongue she went from tip to base. She started stroking my balls with one hand and holding my dick with her other she started licking my dick and balls. I took off her panties and bra and my shirt. As soon as I took of her panties the sweet smell of her pussy filled my nose. She got down on her knees as I sat down on the couch she started sucking on my dick she started off slow and deep letting my dick go all the way to the back of her throat, she didn’t really have gag reflexes. The warmth of her mouth felt so good on my cock the way she got it wet with her saliva and worked her tongue was enough to make me moan. she then speed up I never seen some one move their head that fast. She sucked really hard and moved off my cock till she was off with a pop noise as her lips left my head. She stood up her knees where red and wet I noticed that a liquid was on her inner thighs and on two puddles on the floor. She was so wet and turned on. She then layer down on the couch "I'm ready for you" she quietly whispered. I put my cock into her tiny, wet pussy she let out a small moan and called my name. I put myself deeper into her as I felt her pussy get tighter around me. I watched as she squired and liquids flowed out of her pussy and onto my cock. I was too big for her I thought to myself she must of knew what I was thinking because she said "I don’t care if you tear me in half I want ALL of you in me." she said with a giggle. I then put more of myself in her. I could feel her tight pussy almost at the base of my dick. she was moaning and squirming around. I started to fuck her wet tiny pussy I could feel her lessening up I saw she could not lay still there was a puddle of wetness on her couch. I moved in and started sucking on her breast they were nice and hard it was cold I let the warmth of my mouth turn them back to soft lumps anyone would die for I felt her pussy getting used to my cock. I started moving my cock in and out of her pussy faster I moved my head back for a better thrusting position and I fucked her hard and deep. Her breast were bouncing up and down as I fucked her she then let out a huge squirt and got my chest wet. "whoops." she giggled she pushed me down and then hopped on top she started riding me. She rode me until she squirted again, then I was back on top I fucked her still she started screaming my name. I could feel myself about to orgasm so I pulled out and she quickly started sucking she was rubbing her pussy at the same time. I started moaning then I came in her mouth a little bit and she moved back and I ended up cumming all over her breast and her pubic patch. She scooped up some cum off her breast and put it in her mouth. ""Yum," she exclaimed "same time tomorrow ok?" I smiled and laughed as I put my clothes on and walked to the window, back into the cold. “Not in the rules, come on, get it done or are you both too chicken?” He chuckles, wanting to make his own sister do something odd to her own brother while he, her lover, watches. Valentina laughs at the dare and picks up the drink, “Come on, I’ll pour it on you if that makes you feel better?” She chuckles, getting a sigh as a response then the removal of his t-shirt. Myles lays back and Val looks at his body, admiring the defined abs, pecks, biceps and triceps. She looks at his V-line and bites her lip before pouring a little vodka onto his abdomen where it pools between his abs. Leonna sighs and gets up on her hands and knees lick a dog, moving around to him, making sure she aims her butt towards Ollie, brushing it against him. She leans down and licks the vodka up, surprisingly doing it quite slowly while looking up at her brother. There is just something about doing things to a guy that turns her on, even if that guy is her own brother. She returns to her place and smirks secretively, proud of herself. Myles sits up, wipes the wetness from himself, and glances around, “If this lands on you, you are dead.” He chuckles, spinning the bottle that then lands on Ollie. Megan pouted, appearing to just remember that fact now. “I’m not going to get to see you that much this summer, am I?” She stammered, “But I’m married.” Stabbing out at Jake’s tongue like it was an enemy, then she would attack less, and intertwine her tongue with Jake’s as they would dance together before Amy would change things up again, now exploring Jake’s mouth like she was searching for something between one of his teeth.

2023.03.31 02:05 SammiBanani024 [Reality TV] The kids are not alright: How the CBS show Kid Nation skirted child labor laws as children killed chickens and debated religion on-air
(CW: animal death, religious discrimination, and child abuse/neglect – depending on how you look at it)
What is Kid Nation?
“I think I’m gonna die out here because there’s nothing.” – Jimmy, age 8
If you’re unfamiliar with the American reality show Kid Nation, it’s not a surprise. Created by Tom Forman Productions and Endermol USA, the series premiered on the CBS network on September 19, 2007. Kid Nation features 40 children, ranging from ages 8 to 15, who are given 40 days to create a functioning society out of a ghost town without adult intervention, Lord of the Flies-style. The children pass laws, elect leaders, and build an economy in pursuit of their goal. Kid Nation received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics and was awash in both controversy and legal trouble, leading to its cancellation in May 2008, after just one season. Despite this, the show has maintained a cult-like following among reality TV connoisseurs and received renewed interest in 2020 on social media, presumably due to the pandemic.
At the very beginning of Kid Nation, the participants arrive in Bonanza City, New Mexico, where they are expected to build a viable community from the ground up. The show was filmed on location at the Bonanza Creek Movie Ranch, the purported “ghost town” on the show. In reality, the privately owned town is less of a ghost town and more of a movie set. Only 13 miles south of Santa Fe, Bonanza City has been used as a filming location since the early 1950s. Dozens of films have utilized the site, such as Silverado, The Legend of the Lone Ranger, and A Million Ways to Die in the West. More recently, Bonanza City was the site of the infamous shooting during the filming of Rust, during which Alec Baldwin discharged a prop firearm on set and accidentally killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. It's also somewhat of a tourist destination, with companies offering tourists Jeep rides through Bonanza Creek Movie Ranch. At first, this may seem like a small discrepancy. After all, the kids are still building a society on their own in a relatively empty and isolated town – what does it matter if it’s really a ghost town or a movie set? But this inaccuracy is emblematic of the controversy surrounding Kid Nation: for better or for worse, the conditions depicted on-air were not the reality of the children participating in the show.
The Structure of Kid Nation
“Does anybody else think the Gold Star will significantly increase their sex appeal?” – Michael, age 14
In the first episode of Kid Nation, the kids are told that four of their peers have been deemed members of the “town council” by the production team: Laurel, Mike, Taylor, and Anjay. The other 36 participants are divided into four bunks (also called teams or districts), and each bunk is led by one of the members of the town council. All the bunks were named after different primary colors, with Laurel leading the Green team, Mike leading the Red team, Taylor leading the Yellow team, and Anjay leading the Blue team. Each bunk would sleep together, work together, and compete as a team.
Every few days, the four teams would compete with one another in physical and mental challenges, such as building a working pipeline through an obstacle course or competing in a rock-hauling race. The results of the team challenge determined the team’s economic class for the next few days. The team in the first place was declared the upper-class, second place was the merchants, third place was the cooks, and last place was the laborers. This dictated what jobs each bunk would do for the following days and how much they would be paid in “buffalo nickels”: the upper class had no job and received $1.00/day, the merchants ran the town shops and received 50¢, the cooks made all the meals and did the dishes for 25¢, and the laborers did hard labor (such as filling pails of water, doing laundry, and cleaning outhouses) for 10¢. If this sounds weird to you, you’re not alone. Part of the criticism Kid Nation received was aimed at how the show “indoctrinated the children into capitalism and classism”, with many a thinkpiece posted on this topic.
Additionally, if the town as a whole reached a certain goal by the end of each challenge, the children were granted the choice between an item that they needed and an item that they wanted – and believe me, there’s astounding entertainment value in watching children argue over whether they should get an old-fashioned television set or seven more outhouses (they only had one outhouse at the time… one… for forty kids). To get an idea of how difficult these town goals were, the town goal during the rock-hauling challenge was to collectively haul one ton of rocks. Obviously, the kids failed to haul over a ton of rocks. I mean, really, what did production expect? It’s literally a ton of rocks.
And of course, because this is a reality television show, there is money on the line. While each kid was compensated for their time with $5,000, along with the opportunity to miss a month of school, there were also monetary prizes to be earned. Every three days, the town had a town meeting. During the town meetings, the kids had the opportunity to air their grievances to the community, but more importantly, the town council awarded one of the participants a Gold Star. The Gold Star was worth $20,000, and the town council was tasked with choosing the kid that they felt earned it the most by meaningfully contributing to Bonanza City. Not only did the winner get the Gold Star, but they were also allowed to use the only phone in the town to call their parents. Also, the periodical town meeting was the only time the kids were given the chance to opt out of the experience and go home, which three kids did before the end of the season. In the show’s finale, the town council got to award three participants an additional $50,000 prize each.
Between challenges and town meetings, the kids would complete their jobs, shop at stores run by other kids, try to improve the town, and just generally goof off. At one point, the kids earn a fully stocked arcade for their town after winning a showdown. There was even a “bar” that served root beer, where the kids could dance and drink soda all night. Basically, life in Bonanza City seemed to be all work and all play.
On-Air Drama
“I mean, look at Bush, he’s not smart at all, but he won the U.S. presidency two times in a row!” – Kelsey, age 11
While the format of Kid Nation was not revolutionary, the age of the contestants and the contents of the show was. The stress and physical demands of the show proved too much for many of the children, with the first kid leaving during the first town meeting. First to go was Jimmy, the youngest contestant at 8 years old, who tearfully confesses in the first episode that he misses his parents and thinks he is too young to be on his own. He’s not the only one either; many of the children spend the first episode in tears as they express how homesick and overwhelmed they are.
Jimmy’s departure is just the first of many emotional and controversial moments for the show. The second episode, titled “To Kill or Not to Kill”, centered on a debate between the kids about whether or not to kill some of their chickens to get more protein into their diet. This leads to a heated argument and a peaceful protest, with a group of kids locking themselves inside the chicken coop until the town council promises not to kill any of the chickens. Eventually, the children decide they need meat and kill two chickens. The kids butcher, de-feather, and cook the chickens themselves, leading to some pretty graphic footage. Of all the outrageous things the kids did on-air, killing the chickens seems to be one of the ones that drew the most controversy, with fans still expressing their shock years later. There was even a pretty decently upvoted post about it on TIL four years ago.
In episode four, the council tries to integrate religion into the town by instituting a mandatory church service, but the four council members are the only ones to show up for service. Throughout the entire episode, entitled “Bless Us and Keep Us Safe”, the kids have rather problematic (but entertaining) discussions about different religions, featuring a smattering of anti-semitism and religious discrimination. For the sake of decency, I am not going to give examples or repeat anything they said in this post, but if you just need to know what was said, the episode can be found here. The episode ends peacefully when Morgan invites all the kids to a town bonfire where kids from different religions shared prayers together, showing more tolerance and compassion than I think most adults are capable of.
While the original town council members were chosen by the production team, the town is given the chance to hold elections twice. In a shock to no one, participating in the democratic process proves to be as difficult for kids as it is for adults. The first election gets incredibly heated as kids campaign for the privilege to be the leader of their bunk. One kid, Markelle, goes around town and rips up Taylor’s (the current leader of the Yellow district) campaign posters. This leads to a screaming match in the middle of town, leaving Taylor’s friend who made the posters in tears. Ultimately, Taylor’s political opponent Zach wins the election by exactly one vote after he successfully convinces one of Taylor’s close friends to vote against her. Thank goodness Zach won, or else we never would have gotten the gem that is 10-year-old Zach exclaiming “Viva la Revolucion!”. The first election ends in absolute upset when Guylan defeats incumbent Mike for the position of leader of the Red district. Mike receives exactly one vote (his own), and watching the votes read out in real-time is a crazy experience – everyone is laughing in absolute shock.
Altogether, not only was the age of the contestants a subject of contention for audiences, but the content of the show was also seen as questionable by critics and viewers alike. From animal butchering to religious discrimination to political scandals, Kid Nation really straddled the line of what was acceptable, both for television and for children.
The Aftermath
“Deal with it!” – Taylor, age 10
Even before Kid Nation premiered, critics and viewers were slating the controversial show. By the time the show finished airing, dozens of news outlets were chiming in to give their take on it, including Variety, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, and Time. Viewers were worried about how the children would deal with the stress, and whether or not they were pressured into participating by the lure of potential fame or by their parents for the sake of cash. As I mentioned earlier, people were also concerned that the children were being “indoctrinated into consumer culture” based on the class system utilized in Bonanza City. Despite all this, by the third episode, advertisers that had shied away from Kid Nation due to its initial controversy decided to purchase ad slots.
As you probably predicted, Kid Nation became embroiled in lawsuits and legal battles. First of all, production had the kids sign a contract requiring them to be available for filming 24 hours a day for 40 days. While there are limits to how many hours a child can work in a day, there are exemptions for film and TV production that are regulated by the states. At the time, New Mexico had a law in place limiting children’s participation in film and television productions to nine hours a day. However, this law did not come into enforcement until a month after the filming for Kid Nation was completed. New Mexico also had other general child-labor laws that limited children under 14 years old to a maximum number of hours per week or day unless otherwise approved by the state, but CBS did not obtain approval. Although there were adults on site with the children, the nature of how the adults supervised the children made it appear as though the kids were unlawfully engaged in labor under New Mexico law.
The producers challenged the accusations of breaking child labor laws by declaring the set a summer camp instead of a place of employment. Even though the kids were compensated financially and filmed 24/7, production insisted that they were campers instead of reality show contestants. This claim was further questioned by the state of New Mexico, which had additional rules related to camp operations that were not followed by production. In the end, the production team for Kid Nation did not face any legal repercussions for their usage of child labor, and the legal loophole the production used has since been closed. Other investigative efforts into the show by the state of New Mexico were also dropped, with the Attorney General’s Office citing the lack of formal complaint or request for inquiry from any state agency.
Not only was the production team in hot water with the state of New Mexico, but they also found themselves under investigation by the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists over whether its AFTRA National Code of Fair Practices for Network Television Broadcasting was violated. The organization raised questions about whether the reality show participants are more like subjects in a documentary or working actors. While the latter are covered by union rules that govern working hours and compensation, the former is not. The investigation went forward even though the Network Code on reality shows generally covers professional performers, not reality show participants. However, some parents on set on the final day of filming accused the producers of feeding children lines, re-casting dialogue, and repeating scenes, all of which suggest the children functioned more like actors than documentary subjects. In response to the accusations, producer Tom Forman said the parents were observing routine “pickups” for scenes that may have been missed due to technical difficulties.
Along with legal challenges regarding child labor laws, Kid Nation found itself as the subject of legal complaints from one of the participant’s parents. Before filming, parents were required to sign a 22-page waiver that disavowed any responsibility on behalf of CBS or production for any harm experienced by the children on-set. In one infamous, unaired incident, several of the kids reportedly drank bleach on accident. One of the children, DK, age 14, was taken to the emergency room to be checked out before being returned to the set. Additionally, in an interview with The A.V. Club, 14-year-old Anjay revealed that he got so dehydrated from hiking the town that he had to go to EMS because he was throwing up. In another incident that actually made it on-air, 11-year-old Divad Miles received a grease burn on her face while cooking a meal. Her mother, Janis Miles, filed a complaint in June 2008, calling for an investigation into “abusive acts to minors and possible violations of child labor laws”. The complaint was investigated by the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office, which found no criminal wrongdoing on behalf of the production company or CBS.
It should be noted that in interviews with four of the participants by Los Angeles Times reporter Maria Elena Fernandez, all the children said that even though they worked harder than they ever had in their lives, they would still willingly repeat the experience. Astutely, Fernandez noted in one of her articles that “the children were never as autonomous or self-reliant as the publicity indicated and the threatened legal investigations by the state of New Mexico never took off”. Despite all the negative press and lawsuits, the show did not live up to its pre-premiere promises or its controversies.
Where Are They Now?
“I just hope we don’t end up like the Donner party, eating our own people.” – Anjay, age 12
Years passed, and fans like myself were dying to know how the children of Kid Nation turned out. In 2014, our insane wishes for resolution began to be fulfilled, with the now-adults of Kid Nation turning to the internet and the media to tell their stories.
One of the first to do so was Michael, who did an AMA on IAmA in 2014. Needless to say, fans like myself flooded the AMA with tons of questions and felt our morbid curiosity being satisfied. Michael confirmed many behind-the-scenes rumors and revealed some information previously unknown to fans, such as hook-ups occurring between contestants, Sophia stealing a phone from a crew member to call home, and Jared constantly getting into fights with other kids. He attested that on one hand, there were always adults present off-camera during the production (such as cameramen, producers, a medic, and a child psychologist), but on the other hand, the children did do almost everything themselves. Michael also said that he would be willing to do a “where are they now?”-style sequel to Kid Nation.
When Kid Nation experienced revitalized interest during 2020, The A.V. Club took advantage of the moment to interview several contestants for a “where are they now?”-style article, including Laurel, Anjay, and Olivia. In the interview, the former participants said that much of the show as presented on television was dramatized. They stated that production set up certain children like Olivia and Greg as “stock villains”, despite this not being the case behind the scenes. Also, Anjay confirmed the highly-publicized story about DK accidentally drinking bleach and explained that this was the result of a bottle of bleach being mistaken for a bottle of seltzer water that they had for flavoring drinks in the town store. Anjay said that the medical staff immediately treated DK and he returned to the set shortly afterward. By far the most interesting piece of information to come out of the interviews, though, is the existence of an unaired episode where kids discussed politics (in a similar vein as the religion episode), which was deemed too controversial to air. Considering the context of the Bush administration and the Iraq war, it is understandable why such an episode might be deemed contentious. However, the logic of this decision has done nothing to quell my and other fans’ desire to see the unaired episode, if only to find out where exactly the production team chose to draw the line after all this *gestures broadly*.
In 2020, YouTuber JonTron, also known as Jon Jafari, interviewed Jimmy, the first child to leave Kid Nation. During his interview, Jimmy criticized the harsh conditions that the production team forced the children to suffer through, such as making them cook their own food and wash their dishes, the poor sleeping conditions (the children slept on the floor), and the poor sanitary conditions (here’s your reminder of the 1 outhouse: 40 kids ratio… also the kids were not able to shower until after the first challenge). Additionally, Jimmy confirmed that on two separate occasions, ambulances had to be called to the set to take children to the emergency room.
Conclusion: The Kids Are Alright - No Really, I Mean It
“My ego pretty much just got like eaten, digested, and crapped out by a coyote, torn apart by vultures, and tossed off a cliff.” – Mike, age 11
As I mentioned at the beginning of this write-up, Kid Nation never got a second season. The show was canceled due to its highly questionable legality and the ton of controversy it garnered. This is not to mention poor audience ratings and the fact that the legal loophole in New Mexico was closed. Since its original run on CBS, Kid Nation has basically been treated as if it's radioactive. The show is nearly impossible to find online because most streaming companies refuse to host the series. Previously, a user on YouTube had uploaded all 13 episodes to the site for viewers to watch in a convenient playlist, but the playlist was recently deleted. Right now, the only place you can find Kid Nation is on Vimeo.
The kids from Kid Nation sincerely do not seem traumatized by their experience, and in fact, most of them actually say they cherish the memory of working on the show. Notably, Laurel called Kid Nation the “ultimate best experience of [her] life” – a sentiment that was also echoed in Michael’s AMA. On the other hand, the show’s host, Jonathan Karsh, has seemingly been unable to find any other television host jobs since his stint on Kid Nation.
Even though Kid Nation was canceled due to backlash from critics and viewers, the show has still managed to situate itself as a cult TV series. It even occasionally makes its way back into popular culture, as seen in 2020. A small, semi-active subreddit dedicated to the show still exists, and YouTubers constantly post videos reacting to the conditions and situations that the participants lived through. For trashy reality TV fanatics like me, Kid Nation remains to be a masterclass in entertainment and social commentary as told by kids, albeit with a sketchy production team and questionable conditions.
Ultimately, whether or not Kid Nation was really as abusive and controversial as people claimed is still up for debate. In my opinion, as with most things, I think the truth lies somewhere in the middle. At the very least, the kids are alright.

What is Kid Nation?
“I think I’m gonna die out here because there’s nothing.” – Jimmy, age 8
If you’re unfamiliar with the American reality show Kid Nation, it’s not a surprise. Created by Tom Forman Productions and Endermol USA, the series premiered on the CBS network on September 19, 2007. Kid Nation features 40 children, ranging from ages 8 to 15, who are given 40 days to create a functioning society out of a ghost town without adult intervention, Lord of the Flies-style. The children pass laws, elect leaders, and build an economy in pursuit of their goal. Kid Nation received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics and was awash in both controversy and legal trouble, leading to its cancellation in May 2008, after just one season. Despite this, the show has maintained a cult-like following among reality TV connoisseurs and received renewed interest in 2020 on social media, presumably due to the pandemic.
At the very beginning of Kid Nation, the participants arrive in Bonanza City, New Mexico, where they are expected to build a viable community from the ground up. The show was filmed on location at the Bonanza Creek Movie Ranch, the purported “ghost town” on the show. In reality, the privately owned town is less of a ghost town and more of a movie set. Only 13 miles south of Santa Fe, Bonanza City has been used as a filming location since the early 1950s. Dozens of films have utilized the site, such as Silverado, The Legend of the Lone Ranger, and A Million Ways to Die in the West. More recently, Bonanza City was the site of the infamous shooting during the filming of Rust, during which Alec Baldwin discharged a prop firearm on set and accidentally killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. It's also somewhat of a tourist destination, with companies offering tourists Jeep rides through Bonanza Creek Movie Ranch. At first, this may seem like a small discrepancy. After all, the kids are still building a society on their own in a relatively empty and isolated town – what does it matter if it’s really a ghost town or a movie set? But this inaccuracy is emblematic of the controversy surrounding Kid Nation: for better or for worse, the conditions depicted on-air were not the reality of the children participating in the show.
The Structure of Kid Nation
“Does anybody else think the Gold Star will significantly increase their sex appeal?” – Michael, age 14
In the first episode of Kid Nation, the kids are told that four of their peers have been deemed members of the “town council” by the production team: Laurel, Mike, Taylor, and Anjay. The other 36 participants are divided into four bunks (also called teams or districts), and each bunk is led by one of the members of the town council. All the bunks were named after different primary colors, with Laurel leading the Green team, Mike leading the Red team, Taylor leading the Yellow team, and Anjay leading the Blue team. Each bunk would sleep together, work together, and compete as a team.
Every few days, the four teams would compete with one another in physical and mental challenges, such as building a working pipeline through an obstacle course or competing in a rock-hauling race. The results of the team challenge determined the team’s economic class for the next few days. The team in the first place was declared the upper-class, second place was the merchants, third place was the cooks, and last place was the laborers. This dictated what jobs each bunk would do for the following days and how much they would be paid in “buffalo nickels”: the upper class had no job and received $1.00/day, the merchants ran the town shops and received 50¢, the cooks made all the meals and did the dishes for 25¢, and the laborers did hard labor (such as filling pails of water, doing laundry, and cleaning outhouses) for 10¢. If this sounds weird to you, you’re not alone. Part of the criticism Kid Nation received was aimed at how the show “indoctrinated the children into capitalism and classism”, with many a thinkpiece posted on this topic.
Additionally, if the town as a whole reached a certain goal by the end of each challenge, the children were granted the choice between an item that they needed and an item that they wanted – and believe me, there’s astounding entertainment value in watching children argue over whether they should get an old-fashioned television set or seven more outhouses (they only had one outhouse at the time… one… for forty kids). To get an idea of how difficult these town goals were, the town goal during the rock-hauling challenge was to collectively haul one ton of rocks. Obviously, the kids failed to haul over a ton of rocks. I mean, really, what did production expect? It’s literally a ton of rocks.
And of course, because this is a reality television show, there is money on the line. While each kid was compensated for their time with $5,000, along with the opportunity to miss a month of school, there were also monetary prizes to be earned. Every three days, the town had a town meeting. During the town meetings, the kids had the opportunity to air their grievances to the community, but more importantly, the town council awarded one of the participants a Gold Star. The Gold Star was worth $20,000, and the town council was tasked with choosing the kid that they felt earned it the most by meaningfully contributing to Bonanza City. Not only did the winner get the Gold Star, but they were also allowed to use the only phone in the town to call their parents. Also, the periodical town meeting was the only time the kids were given the chance to opt out of the experience and go home, which three kids did before the end of the season. In the show’s finale, the town council got to award three participants an additional $50,000 prize each.
Between challenges and town meetings, the kids would complete their jobs, shop at stores run by other kids, try to improve the town, and just generally goof off. At one point, the kids earn a fully stocked arcade for their town after winning a showdown. There was even a “bar” that served root beer, where the kids could dance and drink soda all night. Basically, life in Bonanza City seemed to be all work and all play.
On-Air Drama
“I mean, look at Bush, he’s not smart at all, but he won the U.S. presidency two times in a row!” – Kelsey, age 11
While the format of Kid Nation was not revolutionary, the age of the contestants and the contents of the show was. The stress and physical demands of the show proved too much for many of the children, with the first kid leaving during the first town meeting. First to go was Jimmy, the youngest contestant at 8 years old, who tearfully confesses in the first episode that he misses his parents and thinks he is too young to be on his own. He’s not the only one either; many of the children spend the first episode in tears as they express how homesick and overwhelmed they are.
Jimmy’s departure is just the first of many emotional and controversial moments for the show. The second episode, titled “To Kill or Not to Kill”, centered on a debate between the kids about whether or not to kill some of their chickens to get more protein into their diet. This leads to a heated argument and a peaceful protest, with a group of kids locking themselves inside the chicken coop until the town council promises not to kill any of the chickens. Eventually, the children decide they need meat and kill two chickens. The kids butcher, de-feather, and cook the chickens themselves, leading to some pretty graphic footage. Of all the outrageous things the kids did on-air, killing the chickens seems to be one of the ones that drew the most controversy, with fans still expressing their shock years later. There was even a pretty decently upvoted post about it on TIL four years ago.
In episode four, the council tries to integrate religion into the town by instituting a mandatory church service, but the four council members are the only ones to show up for service. Throughout the entire episode, entitled “Bless Us and Keep Us Safe”, the kids have rather problematic (but entertaining) discussions about different religions, featuring a smattering of anti-semitism and religious discrimination. For the sake of decency, I am not going to give examples or repeat anything they said in this post, but if you just need to know what was said, the episode can be found here. The episode ends peacefully when Morgan invites all the kids to a town bonfire where kids from different religions shared prayers together, showing more tolerance and compassion than I think most adults are capable of.
While the original town council members were chosen by the production team, the town is given the chance to hold elections twice. In a shock to no one, participating in the democratic process proves to be as difficult for kids as it is for adults. The first election gets incredibly heated as kids campaign for the privilege to be the leader of their bunk. One kid, Markelle, goes around town and rips up Taylor’s (the current leader of the Yellow district) campaign posters. This leads to a screaming match in the middle of town, leaving Taylor’s friend who made the posters in tears. Ultimately, Taylor’s political opponent Zach wins the election by exactly one vote after he successfully convinces one of Taylor’s close friends to vote against her. Thank goodness Zach won, or else we never would have gotten the gem that is 10-year-old Zach exclaiming “Viva la Revolucion!”. The first election ends in absolute upset when Guylan defeats incumbent Mike for the position of leader of the Red district. Mike receives exactly one vote (his own), and watching the votes read out in real-time is a crazy experience – everyone is laughing in absolute shock.
Altogether, not only was the age of the contestants a subject of contention for audiences, but the content of the show was also seen as questionable by critics and viewers alike. From animal butchering to religious discrimination to political scandals, Kid Nation really straddled the line of what was acceptable, both for television and for children.
The Aftermath
“Deal with it!” – Taylor, age 10
Even before Kid Nation premiered, critics and viewers were slating the controversial show. By the time the show finished airing, dozens of news outlets were chiming in to give their take on it, including Variety, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, and Time. Viewers were worried about how the children would deal with the stress, and whether or not they were pressured into participating by the lure of potential fame or by their parents for the sake of cash. As I mentioned earlier, people were also concerned that the children were being “indoctrinated into consumer culture” based on the class system utilized in Bonanza City. Despite all this, by the third episode, advertisers that had shied away from Kid Nation due to its initial controversy decided to purchase ad slots.
As you probably predicted, Kid Nation became embroiled in lawsuits and legal battles. First of all, production had the kids sign a contract requiring them to be available for filming 24 hours a day for 40 days. While there are limits to how many hours a child can work in a day, there are exemptions for film and TV production that are regulated by the states. At the time, New Mexico had a law in place limiting children’s participation in film and television productions to nine hours a day. However, this law did not come into enforcement until a month after the filming for Kid Nation was completed. New Mexico also had other general child-labor laws that limited children under 14 years old to a maximum number of hours per week or day unless otherwise approved by the state, but CBS did not obtain approval. Although there were adults on site with the children, the nature of how the adults supervised the children made it appear as though the kids were unlawfully engaged in labor under New Mexico law.
The producers challenged the accusations of breaking child labor laws by declaring the set a summer camp instead of a place of employment. Even though the kids were compensated financially and filmed 24/7, production insisted that they were campers instead of reality show contestants. This claim was further questioned by the state of New Mexico, which had additional rules related to camp operations that were not followed by production. In the end, the production team for Kid Nation did not face any legal repercussions for their usage of child labor, and the legal loophole the production used has since been closed. Other investigative efforts into the show by the state of New Mexico were also dropped, with the Attorney General’s Office citing the lack of formal complaint or request for inquiry from any state agency.
Not only was the production team in hot water with the state of New Mexico, but they also found themselves under investigation by the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists over whether its AFTRA National Code of Fair Practices for Network Television Broadcasting was violated. The organization raised questions about whether the reality show participants are more like subjects in a documentary or working actors.

In one infamous, unaired incident, several of the kids reportedly drank bleach on accident. One of the children, DK, age 14, was taken to the emergency room to be checked out before being returned to the set. Additionally, in an interview with The A.V. Club, 14-year-old Anjay revealed that he got so dehydrated from hiking the town that he had to go to EMS because he was throwing up. In another incident that actually made it on-air, 11-year-old Divad Miles received a grease burn on her face while cooking a meal. Her mother, Janis Miles, filed a complaint in June 2008, calling for an investigation into “abusive acts to minors and possible violations of child labor laws”. The complaint was investigated by the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office, which found no criminal wrongdoing on behalf of the production company or CBS.

I know this might no be a big deal to some people but my car is fairly new and the repairs are going to cost over 5k.
I don’t want this to affect my rates in the future and want to get an attorney to assist me with getting a hold of them and getting my vehicle fixed.

2023.03.30 19:40 e_zim2 Ran over by a car in PR
If you are squeamish reading about injuries and traumatic events, this is your warning to stop reading now.
I (24f) went to Puerto Rico as a last minute girls trip earlier this month. It was a extended weekend trip Thursday night-Sunday night. I had an amazing time Thursday night through Saturday prior to the accident. We just went to a drag show and were coming back to La Placita. For those of you who don’t know it’s a narrow road lined with bars where locals and tourists go to party in San Juan.
On to the accident - we arrived to La Placita and were walking down the street (on the sidewalk) when we were about to pass this one club called Garabatos. They have two entrances the main one you have to walk upstairs onto the deck to get in. And a street level entrance for VIP/bottle service. The VIP entrance had an incredibly long line and because the side walk was so narrow like the street, there was no way to get through. So instead of being rude and shoving my way through, my friend and I, we’ll call her Julia, stepped off of the curb to walk around the crowd. My other friend, who we’ll call Brianna, stayed back on the sidewalk to continue smoking. She was almost done but Julia and I were just vibing and wanted to get to the next club. We weren’t in the middle of the street at all just along the curb walking when a car bumped me.
I was obviously startled and turned to look because wtf? But as I tried to turn back to continue walking (just to try to get back on the sidewalk) my toes and the top of my foot were ran over. Julia and I started waving and shouting for the car to stop. Instead, the driver hit the gas and proceeded to drive forward. Like I said I was kind of sideways so in quick judgement I turned my body so I was facing forward to catch myself falling and not hit my head. I knew my foot was done for regardless my main worry was my head. When I fell, the driver drove up my calf (left leg). That’s when onlookers and Brianna started screaming to stop and came over banging on their car.
The driver, along with her passenger got out of the car and just stared at me. No “I’m sorry”, no “omg are you okay”. The two girls then got back into their car, backed off of me, and drove off. Julia and an onlooker chased after them on foot and got their plate number. They almost hit another group of people and had slowed down. I had rolled over into a sitting position two guys that we met tried to lift me, but I already knew my foot was broken. I told them to lift under my thighs and get me over to the sidewalk.
While on the sidewalk, I asked the crowd that was around me for ice and water. I’m pretty good in chaotic situations and definitely still in shock. A group of girls that were actually tourists from my city, helped me. One got the water and ice and one let me lean against her legs for back support. And the other helped Julia with getting the plate number. I wish I got their names because they are amazing human beings that I will forever be thankful towards. Brianna was trying to communicate with the police who in turn told her no ambulance was coming (no cop talked to me at the scene or at the hospital). Julia was able to get a cab driver to talk to 911 on the phone to get an ambulance
Once I was put on the stretcher and in the back of the ambulance that’s when I called my boyfriend and allowed myself to break down. Once at the hospital only one of my friends were able to stay with me. At this point it was about 2:30am. The accident happened around 12:45 but it was daylight savings so we lost an hour. There was one doctor for about 50 patients. We were there until 9:30am. Which isn’t too bad. I was cleared to fly home and placed in a soft cast after taking x-rays.
After the hospital we went back to the hotel got changed and packed. The hotel was amazing and let us check out late given the circumstances lol. They held our bags for us while we went to the police station to make a report. The cops stated they don’t believe it was a local who hit me due to locals avoiding that road because of how narrow it is and filled with crowds of drunk people. Flying home made the pain so much worse.
Upon returning home, the next day I went to the hospital near me to get a second look. They did more x rays of my foot and wrist. I had landed on my right wrist pretty hard and have road rash on my left elbow. They told me what the doc in PR said, I fractured my ankle. But they (main land doc) told me it was both the lateral and medial side (both sides of my ankle). Nothing in my wrist is broken. That following Thursday, I went to the orthopedic. For a third time they took x-rays this time of my shin and put me in another soft cast (this hurt every time haha) and ordered a cat scan. The CT scan revealed that my ankle bones aren’t displaced (no surgery) and three foot bones have minor fractures (for science ppl- anterior calcaneal process, cuboid, and third metatarsal). Because I don’t need surgery I am now in a hard cast for the next 6-8 weeks.
Throughout all of the appointments I’ve gathered progress photos. Made a claim to my car insurance company so I don’t commit medical fraud. I figured it was a rental solely off what the police and other people from PR have told me about La Placita and locals. I have also obtained a personal injury attorney. Right now I’m going after coverage for medical and retributions. Then will be going after them criminally. I do have periodic break downs about this and my loss of independence but my boyfriend whom I live with has been my angel and rock.
Thank you for reading this far. My support group is amazing but I just needed to get it off my chest to strangers lol
TLD/ I was ran over by a car in PR have a broken foot and ankle. And am taking the necessary steps to make sure I get my justice

I (24f) went to Puerto Rico as a last minute girls trip earlier this month. It was a extended weekend trip Thursday night-Sunday night. I had an amazing time Thursday night through Saturday prior to the accident. We just went to a drag show and were coming back to La Placita. For those of you who don’t know it’s a narrow road lined with bars where locals and tourists go to party in San Juan.
On to the accident - we arrived to La Placita and were walking down the street (on the sidewalk) when we were about to pass this one club called Garabatos. They have two entrances the main one you have to walk upstairs onto the deck to get in. And a street level entrance for VIP/bottle service. The VIP entrance had an incredibly long line and because the side walk was so narrow like the street, there was no way to get through. So instead of being rude and shoving my way through, my friend and I, we’ll call her Julia, stepped off of the curb to walk around the crowd. My other friend, who we’ll call Brianna, stayed back on the sidewalk to continue smoking. She was almost done but Julia and I were just vibing and wanted to get to the next club. We weren’t in the middle of the street at all just along the curb walking when a car bumped me.
I was obviously startled and turned to look because wtf? But as I tried to turn back to continue walking (just to try to get back on the sidewalk) my toes and the top of my foot were ran over. Julia and I started waving and shouting for the car to stop. Instead, the driver hit the gas and proceeded to drive forward. Like I said I was kind of sideways so in quick judgement I turned my body so I was facing forward to catch myself falling and not hit my head. I knew my foot was done for regardless my main worry was my head. When I fell, the driver drove up my calf (left leg). That’s when onlookers and Brianna started screaming to stop and came over banging on their car.

2023.03.30 18:15 SchwartzapfelLawyers Chapter 3: The Anatomy of an Auto Accident
In Chapter 3 of The Ultimate Guide: Auto Accidents: How to Get the Money & Benefits You Deserve, author Steven J. Schwartzapfel examines the various elements of an auto accident and provides guidance on how to get the monetary compensation and benefits you are entitled to.
One of the key topics covered in this chapter is the anatomy of a vehicle accident (e.g., car-on-car, truck-on-car, car-on-pedestrian, etc.), which includes the sequence of events that lead up to the accident, the physical and emotional effects of the accident, and the aftermath.
Understanding the anatomy of an auto accident is important in building a strong case for compensation and ensuring that all relevant factors (e.g., evidence) are considered so that they may be, in turn, investigated thoroughly and presented effectively later on.
Another critical aspect discussed in this chapter is the importance of documenting the accident and its aftermath. This can include gathering evidence, such as photos and witness statements, documenting medical treatment and expenses, and keeping track of lost wages and other damages.
By keeping thorough records, victims can provide a clear picture of the impact that the accident has had on their lives and make a stronger case for compensation.
The chapter also emphasizes the importance of working with an experienced auto accident attorney who can guide you through the legal process and advocate for your rights.
A skilled attorney can help you navigate the complexities of the legal system, negotiate with insurance companies, and fight for the compensation that you deserve.
Finally, the chapter discusses the various types of compensation that victims may be entitled to, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.
By understanding the full range of damages that may be available, victims can increase their chances of being financially compensated for accident-related losses, and can move forward with their recoveries and their lives.
If you or a loved one has been involved in an auto accident, it is essential to take action quickly to protect your rights and ensure that you receive all the money and benefits you are entitled to.
