Here are some comments collected under the video:
“I am completely flabbergasted to have witnessed a public humiliation of children who did not ask to be used as bait for reality TV. This wound will remain forever and I can hardly imagine how they will be able to forgive this lack of competence to parents who prefer television glory instead of protecting them. This show has always made me uncomfortable, it’s time to move on. You are infinitely embarrassing.”
“Children who cry because they feel humiliated… We didn’t have to witness that”
“I felt uncomfortable during this episode. I felt bad for Haylee and Logan”

At the other end of the spectrum, other people in the public rather defended Pascal et Tara.
“Most of you have been listening to the show from the start. They didn’t yell at their children. Unlike some parents who pass comments would raise their voices when they see your children’s grades. You love the Groulx family. Do you think everything in a family is pink and butterfly? Nope! They open their door with pleasure, they show you how they manage their problem while some parents do not do their duty as parents! So I take my hat off to Pascal and Tara who are doing their best! And thinking a kid doesn’t come with an instruction book! If you didn’t like this moment, you didn’t care about the skipper!”
“Uncomfortable to watch certainly but also to read the comments here… imagine how hurtful it becomes for children who come to the defense of their parents. Phew…»

Moreover, in the comments, we also note that two of the children wanted to speak to set the record straight regarding what was being said about their parents.
“My parents didn’t do anything wrong, my parents always support me with my dyslexic problem and with school I couldn’t be where I am without them! It bothers me that the world has misunderstood that they just want to do the same for my brother and my sister,” wrote Tristan, the eldest of the family.
“I wasn’t embarrassed, and I didn’t mind sharing my grades, I was crying because I knew I hadn’t tried hard, but your comments hurt me about the way you talk about my parents “, for its part mentioned Haylee, which we could also see in the scene.
Don’t miss The Groulx family Thursdays at 8 p.m., at Canal Vie.
