One of the most vile scenarios I've come across on radio.

There are some shock jocks on Australian Radio who run a show where they strap people to a lie detector and get loved ones (sic) to ask difficult questions.

A mother brought her 14 year old daughter onto the show against her will. The following is a transcript of a part of that show:

Quote:

---

Jackie O: All right, we have her hooked up to the lie detector.

Sandilands: Awwww.

Jackie O: She’s not happy! I just saw her listening to that replay.

Sandilands: How are you (girl’s name)?

Girl: I’m scared. It’s not fair.

Jackie O: It wouldn’t be fair on any kid, I tell you, I sympathise with you . . .

Sandilands: She is scared, everyone, yeah.

(The girl is then asked whether she’s wagged school. She denies it, and the lie detector registers a lie.)

Jackie O: OK, what’s your next question, mum?

Mother: OK, Have you had sex?

Girl: I’ve already told you the story of this. Don’t look at me and smile because it’s not funny. (Shouts) Oh, OK, I got raped when I was 12 years old.

(Silence)

Sandilands: Right. (Pause.) And is that the only experience you’ve had?

Mother: I only found out about that a couple of months ago. Yes, I knew . . .

Girl: And yet you still ask me the question.

Mother: I was, the question was, have you had sex, other than that.

So umm wow.

Mother: drags a 14 year old girl (against her will) who she knows has been raped onto a HUGELY popular radio show and asks her questions that shouldn't even be asked of a frickin adult. Why wasn't the girl given counselling FFS, wtf does the mother think she's doing

Kyle: vile

Radio station: what? they don't have a 7 second panic button? Was it prerecorded? They dont' think there's something wrong with discussing a 14 year old girls sex life and child rape against her will?

Listening Public: WTF? Why are you listening to this fucking perverted shit?

Mum went on the show to win tickets to see Pink.

That's not to say that the radio station and everyone else involved shouldn't be horse drawn and quartered.

I read about this other day as well. Fucking despicable. What kind of twisted bitch would do that to her daughter? I mean, everybody involved was either stupid or scum, most of them were both, but a mother has a fucking duty to her children.

I hope the poor girl is getting some help. And I hope the woman that finally had the sense to put a stop to the bullshit takes a good hard look at herself and thinks about the fact that she makes money off of this shit.

Hopefully people are putting pressure on the companies that advertise on this station. "Shock jocks" live for bad publicity, so unless advertisers start pulling out they aren't going to suffer much from this situation. I don't think it would take many angry phone calls/emails towards advertisers to convince some of them that they don't want to be associated with this though. Hitting these idiots in the pocket book will have far greater effect than giving them bad publicity.

Last I heard the public/public officials are surrounding the girl with all counseling efforts and such.

As a radio jock myself, I too, found it awful. I've read a few apologies from the shock jocks themselves saying everyone was just in shock that nobody knew what to say/do after such a bomb dropped.

Most live talk radio shows run off a 2-3 second delay (at least in canada) so they can bleep out any unfortunate words.

I don't think that there's any excuse for Jackie O or Kyle. They knowingly strapped down a 14 year old to a lie detector test against her will, and asked her question about her sex life.

By definition, any sex she's had is non consensual.

They knew they were going there. They might not have expected her to yell out about being raped, but wtf WERE they expecting? Seriously, if they didn't think this through then they were insanely moronic. If they did, they are insanely moronic and sociopathic.

Wow. That's horrible.

I agree that by just putting a 14 year old in that situation was a giant mistake right away. As soon as sex was the topic, it should have been immediately stopped.

We live in a sick sick world where underage sex and sexual assault are used as topical draws to get attention. I do my part by not watching/listening to these types of programs, but most people would rather watch the program, and assuage their guilt by talking about how horrible it is after the fact.

Sounds like the Jerry Springer show

If it was TV they would have had the Rapist there so mom could attack him and they would break it up.

Sometimes Im not sure what is not staged for the $
and what isn't.. Why I Thresh and don't watch TV

This is the latest manifestation of the ancient Roman Colosseum. People get off watching, or in this case listening to other people suffering.
I personally would like to see the mother get charged with some form of child abuse for willingly putting her daughter through this humiliating ordeal.
She found out about the sexual abuse a few months ago, and somehow thought it'd be a good idea to put her child through a ridiculous polygraph test?
Why do people like this insist on reproducing?
