Wife Swap: Viewers Report Mom's Behavior to Colorado Authorities
Writing by Jennifer_Brown on Friday, 4 April, 2008 at 10:48 am
ABC's Wife Swap is known for featuring moms whose behaviors are at times strange, shocking, and even
occasionally abhorrent. But some viewers feel that the parenting habits of one of the moms featured in last
week's episode exceeds "quirky," leading some viewers to contact Colorado authorities to report what they
believe to be child neglect.
Kate Martinez, the martial artist and former zookeeper from Colorado, shocked viewers last week with her
assertions that training animals and training humans is pretty much one and the same. Martinez made no
apologies that her step-son, 10-year old Alex, was left to fend for himself much of the time: waking
himself up and sending himself off to school in the mornings, cooking his own dinner four nights out of the
week, working at the family's martial arts school, and spending many evenings alone while mom and dad have
"couple time." Yet, at the same time, Martinez seemed to lavish attention on her pet cockatoo, Maki.
One outraged viewer claimed in a blog post, "Alex, in my opinion, is definitely being neglected...The family
is more concerned - dramatically so - about [Maki's] welfare than Alex's." Sources tell Reality TV Magazine
that the blogger later reported Martinez's behavior to Colorado authorities.
Comments on the blog post (and others) show that many viewers support this view that Alex is being abused,
and rumor has it more viewers have contacted authorities as well.
Wife Swap airs Wednesdays at 8:00 PM (ET) on ABC.

I think that Wife Swap is just a show that can take a tiny little problem and make it look like a huge problem.
yes, your right and it can also bring things to light too.
