" The cast of Skins USA have responded to the Parents Television Council&amp;#039;s recent criticisms of the show. Earlier, the PTC claimed that the MTV series could be &amp;quot;the most dangerous show for children on television&amp;quot;. However, the cast have now defended the programme in an interview with TV Squad. Rachel Thevenard pointed out that the PTC has only seen a preview and insisted that Skins &amp;quot;is about so much more than that&amp;quot;, while Ron Mustafaa said: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s a show. Your kids might be doing this or they might not. We&amp;#039;re not saying that they should do it.&amp;quot; Meanwhile, Daniel Flaherty pointed out that people don&amp;#039;t have to watch the show and suggested that it could be a good conversation opener. &amp;quot;There already are shows like this,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;Just because they&amp;#039;re not as edgy doesn&amp;#039;t mean this is going to be the most dangerous thing ever. It&amp;#039;s actually good potentially because it&amp;#039;s more real and showing what teenagers actually do... It does show consequences for bad actions as well.&amp;quot; Camille Cresencia-Mills, who plays Daisy, added: &amp;quot;The reason it&amp;#039;s dangerous and scary for parents is it&amp;#039;s the unknown, and people are scared of things they don&amp;#039;t know. If you go into your daughter&amp;#039;s room and read her diary you&amp;#039;re going to find the exact same thing and it&amp;#039;s just as scary, but sorry we&amp;#039;re, like, showing it on TV. Hopefully the parents can see it and realise that teenagers, yeah they go and party and stuff, but they&amp;#039;re also having issues and they also care about their families, and this might be a way to deal with it for some people.&amp;quot; Skins will premiere on Monday at 10/9c on MTV.
