Kidnap TV: Rescue or Re-Abduction?
FoxNews.com | Monday, November 22 | Catherine Donaldson-Evans

A new reality show about capturing and returning kidnapped children might never "recover" from efforts to keep it off the air.

"Recovery" — the latest brainchild of reality-show kingpin Mark Burnett — features former military and government operatives performing surprise overnight captures of kids who have been abducted, usually by a parent who doesn’t have custody.
