As a recovering adult TV addict, I discovered the Disney channel. I figured it was safer to watch with my children than say, soap operas.
But there was an unwelcome spirit that came across, even in the syndicated shows. All the children on Disney were sexualized. It was too weird seeing even little children having crushes on older people, and it was all ‘perfectly normal.’
One by one, we stopped letting the children watch shows on Disney, (I’m ashamed how long it took my addicted self)–until we stopped watching it altogether.
Then we discovered Hannah Montana, etc., and have subsequently cut that off as well.
I just saw this. It got my gander all up, reminding me of when I saw Dumbo, The Jungle Book and Song of the South. Then, right at the end of video, it mentions Disney’s history of pedophilia.
That stood the hairs up on the back of my neck. So I googled it. That was an eyeful. And I read that it was not just historical Disney, but current day Disney with the pedophilia issues. Like the incident in 2007 when they ‘accidently’ broadcast porn through Comcast over the Playhouse Disney channel.
Or how in 2007 they canceled an ABC news piece on pedophilia in Disney, but ran a piece on 20/20 in 2008 that was more favorable towards pedophiles.
And the list of Disney employees arrested for child molestation makes my skin crawl.
Disney is like the old man in UP–luring children in with colorful balloons. We can’t fall for this trap. We must protect our children. Do the research yourself. Tell me what you think.

Hello Angela,
This piece on Disney is so true. The magic of Disney is packed with lies, filth and deception. You may be interested in our piece on PERVERSE TOYS FOR CHILDREN by Fail Tails. It can be viewed at the link below.

I saw that piece on perverse toys for children. I am thinking about writing about that as well. Thanks!

I agree completely. As a family we have struggled with the issue of what to do about the “one eyed monster” (television)in the living room. DH would love to roll it out the back door. I argue that it helps me occupy the youger ones with educational programming while I work with the older ones. I once thought Disney was a safe spot to park the set on. Was I wrong. The programming presents children with far to many ideas that their young minds should not have to focus on.
