Summary
Collin Gosselin says his memoir details how "Jon & Kate Plus 8" put children at risk, with adults ignoring distress and body language to keep filming.
The former child star said production priorities overrode his and his siblings' welfare, arguing the family's TV image mattered more than how the children actually felt.
Collin also revisited being sent to a treatment facility at 13 and medicated, saying he was isolated, publicly discredited and left with little control over his life.
His account broadens from family grievance to industry criticism, urging adults to stop filming when children object and to act before visible harm is ignored.
