Lifestyle network has announced a new show titled “America’s Supernanny” starring Deborah Tillman. “America’s Supernanny” is not a spin off of TLC’s excellent “Supernanny” TV series starring Britain’s child care expert Jo Frost. It’s an entirely new show centered around entrepreneur Tillman who owns multiple learning centers in Virginia.

“I feel blessed and privileged that I have been chosen to do exactly what I was put on earth to do,” the mother-of-one said in a statement, “and that is to help children and families come together, get it together and stay together.”

How ironic that bad parenting was the topic of fiery debate today on Sandrarose.com in response to a man who videotaped himself brutally abusing a 7-year-old boy .

Devery Michael Broox, 25, was arrested in Orlando, Florida on Sept. 26 after a video he sent to Worldstarhiphop.com was viewed by staff at the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, who then tipped off police.

Many lurkers were shocked at the reactions of my readers who defended Broox — even though he had clearly stepped over the line. It will take a lot more than a TV show to correct the beliefs of black parents who were taught by their grandparents that sparing the rod spoils the child.

But “America’s Supernanny” is a great start.
