Parents in the pen

One advantage of living with a seven-year-old: I know that tonight Nickelodeon is showing "Kids of Cons," a news program on children with parents in prison, including one kid from Tacoma.

The promo's up now, but after tonight the whole 22 minute feature should be available for streaming at the Nick News site.

(and now you also know whatever happened to Linda Ellerbee, now host of Nick News, and once co-host of the coolest TV news show ever, NBC News Overnight)
