Not good program for children

I was deeply disturbed by a reality crime show aired by Metro TV on May 25. It showed a street prostitute and her client who were nabbed by policemen at night. Surprized by the arrest, the prostitute and her client had to put their clothes on in a hurry. Unfortunately, they accidentally put on each other's underwear.

The camera remained on, filming all of this. The prostitute grumbled, not only because her client had not paid her yet but also because they had exchanged underwear unintentionally. Her client, meanwhile, laughed like he had no problem at all. The camera remained on as they arrived at the police station and then followed the pair into the toilet as they changed clothes.

What I'm concerned about is the lack of responsibility TV crews have when handling news and current affairs. I didn't see any news value in this program, which only offered sensationalism. The worst thing was it aired at noon when children could watch.
