Rejected petition To stop Can't Pay Take it Away, TV programme on channel 5.

I've been in financial difficulties in the past, at the same time suffering with depression due to personal circumstances. Had I'd been filmed then it had been put out on national tv, I don't think I'd have recovered from the embarrassment/shame and would have most defiantly ended my life.

More details

I'm now in a good place but I feel for those people that are exploited for entertaining viewers. Although children are obscured their parents are clearly identifiable, this would most defiantly lead to be bullied by peers.
