A Different Reality: Ex-Participants Are Giving Us A Sneak Peak Into The Curious World of Reality TV Shows

Not every story that appears on Supernanny has a happy ending. In this case, a couple’s appearance on that show eventually led their neighbors to call the cops on them. The story does not indicate what the parents did to warrant that response, but it must have been pretty bad, considering the less-than-stellar parenting that the show commonly showcases.

The person telling the story recalls going to school with one of the older children from that family. As they state, that older child often missed school to take care of their younger siblings, which is not much of a surprise if your parents are so bad that your neighbors need to call the cops. The odds are it was not the only time that happened either.
