Exploitive, plain and simple.
Reality shows are a tough thing to judge. Most of them aren't very good, mostly shallow and mindless entertainment. I'll admit a few of them have entertainment value to some extent but THIS... There's no entertainment here. This show is exceptionally poor and stereotypical and comes off as the most insincere, disgusting exploitation of a little girl with her loser trailer trash family I've ever seen. Yes, that means it's even worse than 16 and Pregnant. This family has no direction, no worthwhile future plans, nothing redeeming. Not only that, it's poorly written and lacks any considerable foresight or lessons learned. The mother only cares about the money, the rest of the family is uninteresting and disinterested in the whole ordeal. Makes everyone from Georgia look bad and I'm from Savannah. Why hasn't child services taken 'HBB' away from that sleeze of a mother and her pedo boyfriend?
Again, no this is definitely NOT representative of Georgia as a whole.
