The media won't touch anything like this when it comes from a single family because they hear it all the time and doesn't have enough shock value.

At the end of the day, the media - especially TV - are looking for the ratings and they want the stories that will make their ratings skyrocket.

And a parent doesn't want to write a single letter or email... They want to knock on the TV station's door with a group of other parents and refuse to leave until somebody (preferably a producer) listens to what they have to say.
