"Even after broadening my perspective on women in prison by watching Orange Is the New Black, I understand that this is horrifying: Teresa Giudice of Real Housewives of New Jersey is facing possible jail time (so is husband Joe). The couple have been indicted on 39 counts of fraud, stemming from illegal mortgage and bad lending activity that allegedly went on during their bankruptcy case dealings&amp;amp;#8212;as well as a failure to report income. The Giudices are expected in federal court mere minutes from now in Newark, N.J. (Teresa has gone on record saying she&amp;#x27;ll plead not guilty.) Teresa tweeted a comment on the proceedings yesterday: I&amp;#x27;m not about to kick someone when they&amp;#x27;re down, so let me say something from a place of as little judgment as possible: I completely understand why Teresa would say yesterday that she will continue her career. Obviously, the family needs the money now more than ever. But as I&amp;#x27;m writing this post, I feel the same way I usually do when discussing such matters: really bad for the kids. The saga of the Giudices&amp;amp;#8212;which doesn&amp;#x27;t make them bad people, and which certainly could have played out the same way even if they weren&amp;#x27;t on TV&amp;amp;#8212;is, in my estimation, as good a case as any for wholly banning children on reality television. It&amp;#x27;s not the kids&amp;#x27; choice to weather everything from braces to their parents&amp;#x27; legal problems in full view of anyone who feels like turning on the TV. And I think that now&amp;amp;#8212;before a whole generation of these kids grows up with potential emotional scarring&amp;amp;#8212;is the time for networks to take that decision out of parents&amp;#x27; hands altogether. Easy. Clean. Fair. Necessary. Just my two cents&amp;amp;#8212;what do you think? Photo: Bravo"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
