>> sesame street taking on the opioid crisis was the iconic children's to revealing a new character who lives in foster care while her mother battle addiction. >> my mom needs help learning to take better care of herself so she talks to people with the same problem. >> should we be forcing this conversation on little kids in our society? it to the bait that, liberal analyst kathy a rule and kathy barnett. a lot of people have opinions on this. >> a lot of people do have opinions on this but sesame street started 50 years ago and they started to show children real life. the trend for real life, they
2:52 am
have introduced homelessness, hunger, poverty, so many issues. for them to be on the cutting edge of something like addiction is not unusual. this is normal for sesame street to be doing this. this is real life, children are tackling these things at home. rob: your response? obviously it is a big problem. opioid addiction is a problem and it does affect kids. >> it does but when you consider that sesame street's target audience is ages 2 to 5 years old maybe this is a little too much reality. for those kids with parents who are battling addiction, perhaps it would be nice if sesame street was a safe place for them to go instead of having to deal with that but i earnestly
2:53 am
believe we should allow children to be children, let them play and have fun. this is not something impressionable little minds should be burdened with. we are so focused in this country of growing our children up like little mushrooms. they bypass childhood and go straight to adulthood and we are not allowing them to just have fun and play and not become little worrywart and that is what our culture is doing, anxiety ridden children instead of allowing them to just play. rob: does it change anything that it is only online? you are going to have to seek it out on the internet? >> we also know the online presence is a growing market and once again yes, addiction is a very real issue. i am the parent. sesame street should take notice of the fact that you enter time my children and allow me to do
2:54 am
that and figure out -- rob: respond to that. a lot of kids out there don't have this problem and maybe don't need to see this. >> there are a lot of kids who have friends with these problems. they are not getting anxiety from watching a show. they are getting anxiety from life in general. just a couple weeks ago i was visiting a classroom. i am a certified teacher and i go in and out of public schools and a child when asked if her child would visit the classroom on dad's day, my daddy is in jail. sesame street -- sesame street has addressed parents in jail. >> sesame street at their own words, 6 million kids age 11 and under are dealing with a parent struggling with addiction. they are age 11 and other, 13%
2:55 am
of the population, that means 87% of kids are not dealing with these issues. rob: not directly. we have to cut it there because the show is getting a little tight. thanks for your time, appreciate it, an interesting debate, interesting story. if we could go back up from sesame street, addiction is often seen as a grown-up issue but it impacts children in ways that are not always visible. we will be right back. ah! come on! let's hide in the attic. no. in the basement. why can't we just get in the running car? are you crazy? let's hide behind the chainsaws. . this was a good idea. shhhh. i'm being quiet. you're breathing on me!
