Sorry, this whole thread is stupid. These kids are lucky enough to grow up in the wealthiest nation IN THE WORLD. Have parents with enough money to be taken to these games. I know kids who have been raped, mutilated, abused, dirt poor, think of it and it happens. IF YOU ALL CANNOT SEE THAT BEING SHOWN ON TV CRYING IS NOT A BIG DEAL. (not matter how many times) Then there is nothing left to say because you all can say that you "get it" all you want, but YOU DON'T SEE THE BIG PICTURE. period.
That kid being shown crying on TV will be forgotten in less than 24 hours. I bet a lot of them either don't know they are being mocked or don't care. CHILDREN FORGET REALLY FAST. Most of them will laugh about it later if they even know about it AT ALL. Kids getting murdered across the world will get ZERO press cover and I'm sure they would trade ANYTHING to be shown crying on TV compared to the crappy lives they have...this is just asinine at this point by all the "get crying kids off tv" crowd. I'm done.
