Terrible Ad on TTC

ttc

Laurence Lui just tweeted an ad seen on the TTC.  It seems to be for some bible studies service and it's an answer to a very serious question from a kid.  "My mom and dad do drugs at home and it scares me. Will you help them stop?"

The ad answers that question by telling the kid not to worry but to just pray.

If a kid happens to land on this page after Googling "My mom and dad do drugs at home and it scares me. Will you help them stop?", I'd ask that they please call 1-800-668-6868 now.  That's the Kids Help Phone folks and they do good work.

The TTC should be ashamed for accepting this bible study ad. It might be the worst possible advice, a kin to telling the kid to STFU and deal with it.  I hope it gets pulled before someone actually follows the awful advice.
