Roux, Olivia; Lifetime Movie Network

So for the past day and a half I have been in Sarasota with family due to medical reasons and I've been hooked to the tv. One station that always seems to catch my attention is the Lifetime Movie Network. On this channel, movies get premiered mostly about every day issues such as teen abuse, rape, kidnapping, etc. As soon as my father saw what I was watching he told me to turn it off. I am in college and I looked at him like he was crazy. We then went into a 30 minute conversation on why he hates the channel.
I began by saying that I was excited for the Natalie Haulaway movie that was being premiered that night at 8pm and he couldn't believe his ears. His verdict was that it was crazy for any one to release their personal information to the public like they did. I told him it was education and that i think the movie is a good idea to help prevent things like this from happening again. He agreed on that idea but he was opposed to the fact that the family was probably going to be making money from their unhappiness and loss.
I continue to think that these movies are good ideas for the public to see because sometimes people need to be showed what can happen in certain situations. I say keep informing us of what is right and wrong.
