I was wondering what your thoughts were regarding kids and paranormal investigating.
What leads me to this inquiry is the recent announcement of Cartoon Networks "The Othersiders" reality based series due out soon engaging 5 kids ages 9-17 doing investigations of some pretty well known haunts.
The Othersiders:
This thrilling reality adventure series follows five friends on real missions to
explore mysterious, potentially haunted locations in search of evidence
that will confirm or deny the existence of paranormal activity.
Where I understand the difference in the full bloomin "entertainment" side of this paranormal thing, I am a bit concerned that this has finally gone too far in the name of ratings and paranormal for profit.
What does it mean for the kids involved in the long term?
What does it mean to the serious side of investigating paranormal and otherworldly things that we are trying to get answers to?
When does TV lands attempt to shock and scare finally become so ridiculous we whom are serious are reduced back to the quiet fringes in an attempt to not have society view us as Ghostbuster characters?
I dunno. it is sorta buggin Roux today.
Anyone?? Anyone???

We encourage kids to come along IF its something simple. The age bracket starts at 13 with us depending on maturity and interest. I feel they are our next generation of Investigators. Our knowledge topped onto what they would learn in the future will make them stronger in the field.
