I remember Kid nation. The last episode I remember watching was when one little girl was busting her butt cleaning and helping everyone trying to win the prize and they turned around, voted and gave it to another little girl because it was her birthday. I felt so bad for that child who was slaving her little life away to win because she deserved it.
I remember that one. She was so little doing all of that work and she was so sad when they announced it ( as she should have been) They could have at least told them that when it was their birthday they would automatically win. That poor child’s heart was broken.
40 kids, huh??? I wonder how many of them were abused. Finding out that the most extreme of the rumors are all turning out to be true after all of these years. I'm suspicious of anyone in the industry who expresses so much interest in children.
At the 2:08 mark there’s a flash of a kid drinking hard liquor or getting it poured down his throat with red fabric behind him. Right as the guy says “beds” for these kids. WTF Vice. This is really weird.
It’s extremely strange. A google image search returns the shirt he’s wearing is from 2006, and is now actually worth a bit of money. So it’s either a photo that old, or recent and the person has a niche fashion sense. So strange.
Yes I noticed this immediately and I played it back at .25 and it’s clear as day. Honestly I think since Vice is completely going down hill, they’re probably doing this to extend screen time and maybe even get people talking so more people view their videos. I agree with the comment below about subliminal messaging but also I hear about Vice being done for at least once a month haha
That is a grown man at a bar. You can see the shot glasses, bar, and shirtless bartender with a rag hanging out his pocket. The guy also has a tattoo on his neck so I’m pretty sure that isn’t a kid.
Parents are agreeing to way worse things nowadays😅 if only we can go back to something like this parents are far worse now and have way worse decision-making especially with social media because parents are just as stupid and goofy as the kids
The parents believed everything they were told?? You don't know the people running this show. You don't know the other kids you're leaving your child with. What could go wrong?!?! Everything! What kind of parents allow this?
What did you tell Emily Sinclair the interview was for? Because she certainly didn’t know… she really ruined her life with that interview. Disgusting and despicable to stand by what she did to those kids even now.
Yeah I hate looking at her face as she says everything. Seems to have no remorse and LIVES for the camera. SHE LOVES THE COVERAGE. The kids were entertaining lab rats to them.
I went pretty far in the process but did not ultimately get onto the show, although a couple of my friends did. My recollection was that it was always meant to be in New Mexico, and the working title when I signed the paperwork was actually "The Manhattan Project" which would tie it to the state even more. Interesting to hear what was said in this.
@pokemonmanic3595 Sophia was the one I knew really well, although I knew some of the others too. They recruited heavily from this summer program a lot of us were a part of called SIG (Summer Institute for the Gifted) where we would stay on college campuses as kids and take classes over the summers. I did the programs at Amherst College and Emory University.
I remember this show. I watched the first episode and then stopped, but I LOVED the kids who had quit saying he dint think kids should be doing this kind of stuff.
Still disturbs me to think about the one bullied girl who ended up just wanting to take care of the animals, only to have one of her bullies kill one of those animal right in front of her. And that was far from the worst of it.
Gotta be an editor’s mistake - happens to me all the time, but i typically catch it lol! It’s such a blink of an image that i bet they could barely see this on their timeline! 😅
I watched this whole show. I remember they kids were actually really good at getting things done, figuring out who was good at what, and sussing out the phonies. ...until in the final episodes the teenage boys got in charge... and everything went to hell (including rewarding a girl who totally didn't deserve anything just because they had a crush on her).
This is a really insightful documentary - if anyone wants to see long interviews with about half of the kids from Kid Nation i did them on my youtube channel a couple years ago!
thanks for ringing that bell and making that connection for us.. its not like they said that and showed footage from the film adaptation in the first 30 seconds
i just explain that if someone calls a "minor" to their home by forcing them to be born under parents that they are going to from now on be treated as adults because its these blue goggles in everyones skull.
@@janaskibo871 if someone is forced to be born and placed on earth they might as well call the person being born an adult because they likely have these space goggles in their skull. i won a 14th century x box to tell you that.
Has anyone noticed at approximately the 2:08 in the video there was a “blip” where it looked red? It looked like a subliminal message..I videoed that portion to see the frame..it’s a man with his mouth opened and looks to be he’s having something “poured”? into his mouth..and there’s a woman’s hand behind him….it looks to have absolutely nothing to do with the video….creepy to say the very least..
This whole thing was crazy. How was this not illegal? Definitely exploitative. Definitely what the hell were the parents thinking? I was asking those questions back then. This is still one of the creepiest things in American TV. Social Experiment, manipulating KIDS??? WTF.
This is my roman empire, there is not a single day where this show doesn't cross my mind! I thought this was a fever dream because I thought this wasn't real for a while and BAM this video popped up!
Loved this show and used it every Friday in my classroom where we then discussed it and had debates over whatever happened in that episode. It was so good.
I watched this and while I see that this show could have been scarring to children in the show itself, I would have loved to have done it. I think as a child and as an adult, I am always curious to see who I would be if I’m thrust into certain experiences that are different to what I know. Anyone else like that?
Loved Kid nation coz I was 9 or 10years old so related a lot with them and it aired in SABC 2 in Africa...didn't wanna miss any episode but I didn't know about it being filmed in New Mexico😮I was just thoroughly entertained😂😂 Taylor was my favoutite at that time😂
I remember seeing this TV show online. Personally I think there were some parts of this series that made a degree of sense however I think the age range was wrong. I think some of the youngest kids were too young.
The location "Bonanza Ranch" not city since it was specifically built for movie sets, is also where Alec Baldwin shot off a live gun... I do catering for this location
Spent the budget on interviews from contestants- couldn’t make a quality video. Vice, you should honestly delete this and consider yalls professions, this isnt a complete anything.
Watch 'DARK SIDE OF REALITY TV' Tuesdays at 9P on VICE TV. In the US? Don’t miss a thing - catch up here: bit.ly/DARKSIDEOFREALITYTV
They didn’t do child labor law violation
I remember Kid nation.

I remembered that vaguely. Typical behavior
Their kids, I doubt they ever considered that
@ you doubt they considered what?
@@shanellsplace That they'd to anyone not having a birthday
I remember that one. She was so little doing all of that work and she was so sad when they announced it ( as she should have been) They could have at least told them that when it was their birthday they would automatically win. That poor child’s heart was broken.
Hope this blows up enough that we can get a proper ‘Where Are They Now?’
same
If you want, JonTron interviewed one of the kids from the show, it was Jimmy
@@minerdxxd733 there is also a guy on youtube that has done interviews
@@minerdxxd733he’s a creep and a predator 🥴 why would you support JonTron?
We need one and also a follow up on where the Jesus camp kids are too

Shocked parents agreed to this….
im not
Stage parents? Puh-leez
I'm not shocked at all. Parents airways pimp their kids out hoping they will become a starrrrr⭐⭐⭐
Lol, This is the same thing as wilderness therapy in the Western United States. There’s tens of thousands of kids living like this right now.

Who is that kid with a neck tattoo drinking out of the bottle at 2:08 when he says there are beds for these kids? Why would they put that frame in?
@tonyfourpaws4511fr
Its not a kid, its a grown ass man
That's just a flash of Tyler's contribution to the film.
Looks almost sexual even when it’s slowed down

Still disturbs me to think about the one bullied girl who ended up just wanting to take care of the animals, only to have one of her bullies kill one of those animal right in front of her. And that was far from the worst of it.
WHAT
!?!???? Huh???
That's the best part, your trippin
That tripped me. I remember even as a kid I thought this is crazy. Where are the grown ups eek
Disturbing
Every time I see an update about Kid Nation I'm hoping to see a grown up Jared but every time my heart breaks.
He might not want anything to do with the show anymore
I cannot believe that an actor from one of my favorite shows as an adult (Chicago Fire) is from one of my favorite shows as a kid!
At 2:08, there is a very bizarre image spliced into the footage. Hmmm. 🤔
Gotta be an editor’s mistake - happens to me all the time, but i typically catch it lol! It’s such a blink of an image that i bet they could barely see this on their timeline! 😅
I saw that too.
Asian man drinking booze
I captured a snap of it, it looks like an asian kid drinking alcohol and someones arm around him
as a kid … I loved watching this. Now… holy hell no.
Exactly
I watched this whole show.
I remember they kids were actually really good at getting things done, figuring out who was good at what, and sussing out the phonies.
...until in the final episodes the teenage boys got in charge... and everything went to hell (including rewarding a girl who totally didn't deserve anything just because they had a crush on her).
I’m sorry any parent that agreed to this should be looked into
Yeo
Yo did anyone notice the image that appears for a millisecond at 2:08 ?
Yeah when the man is talking there is like a quick flash in red and other color but it's quick like a flash
Very random and bizarre 😂😂
It’s some random kid drinking alcohol
Its communication
@@DAT-TEXAS-DUDE slow it down all the way, it looks like someone laid out with a bleeding face.
2:08 Random image of an asian dude drinking in a club?
Whats that all about lol
'You saw nothing...' 👽
chill he's just getting lit
Yea that was kinda weird. What a short documentary, feel so bad these kids were exploited like this and wonder what they went through
@@VICE-TV 🫣 lol
@@VICE-TVnow it’s extra weird that the official channel is responding to this. Wtf is that about?
This show was a fever dream. I remember watching this when it aired
Sad. Is there going to be a part 2? Kind of ended abruptly
It's 45 minutes
This is just a promo, you gotta pay to see the whole thing lol
My mom almost put my on this show but we missed casting the first time and then the kid got burnt and she was like...nevermind
This is a really insightful documentary - if anyone wants to see long interviews with about half of the kids from Kid Nation i did them on my youtube channel a couple years ago!
"Lord of the flies" ring a bell?!
Did they even read the book before doing this?!
They literally mentioned that in the 1st minute.
In real life tho 😂
Very good book
thanks for ringing that bell and making that connection for us.. its not like they said that and showed footage from the film adaptation in the first 30 seconds
Of course they did. LOF was the inspiration. 😑
This was absolutely crazy to me. I could not believe they did it.
Oh my goodness!!! Seeing some of the cast mates as adults has me 🥹🥹 also crazy seeing some of these clips again - the flashbacks!
Reminds me of that Jimmy Neutron movie where all the adults weren't on Earth
hey that's what this show was missing!.... a boy band lmao
just can't remember if that was back street boys or nsync off the top of my head
@@bloodlove93 Nsync was the boy band in the soundtrack.
JonTron did a better vid than this.
That's 'cause this is a snippet of a 45 minute episode.
This isn't the full episode
JonTron just laughed almost the entire time throughout the whole the interview and he sometimes interrupted Jimmy.
Did anyone notice the very brief pic of a kid drinking at 2:08?
That's what that was? I was like wtf?!
I thought it was the picture of that creepy red smiling dog lmao
Yeah that was fucking weird
i just explain that if someone calls a "minor" to their home by forcing them to be born under parents that they are going to from now on be treated as adults because its these blue goggles in everyones skull.

What???

Why can an Under age child make money in "acting" and working "24" hrs a day but they can't work at Mc Donalds? lol jobs a job right?
I was wondering about this show!!! I couldn't remember the name but remembered watching it ! Glad i know im not crazy now !!
I remember watching this show and thinking it was cool. They did have adults with them helping them in case if they needed anything.

Did Tyler Durden Edit This 😂
🤣
I WAS OBSESSED WITH THIS SHOW
This is still a better filming location for the kids than _Epstein Island_ 🏝
What’s with the Asian dude downing whisky at 2:08
I don't remember watching "Kid Nation."
I remember this show!!!! I wanted to sign up for it so badly and my parents told me I was crazy and to forget it😂
I wanted to sign up too!! I thought the show is amazing & a unique experience!
please i need to find this and rewatch it. my friend got cast but her parents said no lol
I think I rewatched the episodes on RUclips a few years back
There needs to be longer segment!!!!!
The full video is 45 minutes
I remember watching this with my mom, I wanted to go on it so badly. I swore this was a fever dream that never happened
This whole thing was crazy.
How was this not illegal?
Definitely exploitative.
Definitely what the hell were the parents thinking?
I was asking those questions back then.
This is still one of the creepiest things in American TV.
Social Experiment, manipulating KIDS??? WTF.
Kid drinking liquor at 2:08
Where?
This is my roman empire, there is not a single day where this show doesn't cross my mind! I thought this was a fever dream because I thought this wasn't real for a while and BAM this video popped up!
Where’s the full episodes
Did anyone catch the screen flash at 2:09? Took me forever to pause it. It's some guy drinking out of a whiskey bottle. Not sure why it's there .
oh you can use the . and , keys to go frame by frame in the video, unless youre using mobile.

This is shocking I grew up watching this and this made me sad
Is there' going to be a part 2.?
The church on that same ranch is the same place where Alec Baldwin shot and killed his camera operator, on the movie set, "Rust".
I remember JonTron was covering this series for a bit and even had one of the kids on for an interview!
I knew a kid that was going to be on the show... the show was taken off the air before he got to appear.
Like for season 2?
all these parents explaining themselves is so funnjy lol
I was tasked in grade school to watch this and report on it weekly.
I don't care what people say
This show was pretty awesome.
It's my favorite show. I've shown like 5 people this show and they immediately binge watch the whole season in one sitting
Doesn't change the fact that it probably shouldn't have happened
