Fox News medical contributor has 'concerns' Sesame Street could be 'normalizing substance abuse with our youth'
A Sesame Street character who reveals her mother struggles with addiction is a new storyline intended to explain opioid addiction to kids in a way they can understand.played a brief clip of character Karli's online revelation Friday morning, host Steve Doocy asked radiologist and Fox News contributor Nicole Saphier what she thought about the show's decision.
"And I just don't want it to become a part of their normal discussion as preschoolers about substance abuse," Saphier added. Saphier, who worked on a documentary this year about the opioid crisis, agreed addiction is rampant in the United States, but suggested the pre-teen years are more appropriate for learning about it.
Karli, a character introduced in May, lives in foster care. In the segment, she confided to Elmo that her mom"needs help learning to take better care of herself, so she talks to people with the same problem," so she went away for a while to deal with a"grown-up problem."
