Sesame Street: Little Children Big Challenges: Incarceration

submitted by notarobot

1 decade 11 months 1 week ago

Highlights from Sesame Street's new initiative: Little Children, Big Challenges: Incarceration. Alex talks with Abby Cadabby, Rosita, and Sofia about his dad's incarceration, real families with young children share their own experiences with parental incarceration, and an animation shows a family's trip to visit a parent in prison.

Little Children, Big Challenges: Incarceration, a bilingual (English/Spanish) multimedia initiative, provides much-needed resources to support and comfort young children throughout their parents' incarceration. Learn more at http://www.sesamestreet.org/incarceration

Man, I can't wait for the war crimes episode. I hope there'll be a song in Pashto!

Where's the part where they detail how the economy, via private corporations, benefits from daddy being in prison?
You care about the economy, don't you kids?

jokingly says...

This is fucking sick. Cut to the black kid so we can hear his story!
Wait, we can't find any white kids with parents in jail? Animate it!

Moving this video to notarobot's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

@artician
Sesame Street did a whole set of videos and interviews with kids, muppets, and caregivers on this topic. There's some good representation if you watch the other clips.

jokingly says...

Yeah, I guess I find the whole thing offensive because of what it says about a society, when a large enough portion of the population has to be addressed like this. It's not like sesame street is responsible or can even do anything to fix it, but it's a good thing I don't run that show because I'd have turned it into a "Hey kids! Did the government throw your dad in jail? Well fuck them! Don't grow up to support a justice system that serves a twisted abortion of the concept!"

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Prison (HBO) has been added as a related post - related requested by notarobot on that post.
