Perhaps her claims are legitimate, but Janis Miles is not talking unless CBS gives her the okay. The Fayetteville mother reportedly told authorities her 12-year-old daughter was injured during the filming of the upcoming “Kid Nation” children’s reality show on CBS, an experience she claims borders on abuse and neglect.

Filmed near Santa Fe, New Mexico, over a 40-day period during April and May, the reality show is being advertised as “kids on their own, without adults present.”

Miles was quoted as saying her daughter Divad was sprayed on her face with grease while cooking potatoes on a wood stove and suffered a rash that caused scarring. Miles was also cited as claiming that four other children required medical attention after accidentally drinking bleach.

Miles was reported as saying there was no adult supervision present at the time of the incidents and that the injuries bordered on abuse and neglect.

A message returned by Miles Monday said she was unable to comment on the issue. All interviews have to be approved by CBS, she said.

A call by The Citizen to the CBS corporate office in New York about Miles’ ability to speak on the issue was not returned. CBS issued an earlier statement claiming the Miles’ claims are “distorting the true picture of the Kid Nation experience.”

New Mexico attorney general’s office said parents signed a 22-page agreement waiving their right to sue if their children were injured or killed during production.

Numerous news sources have quoted CBS as confirming the incidents of grease-splattering and ingesting bleach. Kid Nation executive producer Tom Forman confirmed the incidents, adding that those types of accidents can happen in any home or school. The children in each of the incidents received immediate medical attention, he said.

“Kid Nation” was filmed at a New Mexico ghost town. The reality show was shot with 40 children ages 8-15 with the idea of building their own society without the presence of adults. “Kid Nation” is scheduled to premier in September.
