How do I contact Dateline? I have a story that needs investigating. I live in Lafayette, Co. It is regarding a very corrupt CPS and my granddaughter being molested in a supposed teen safe house called Chase House in Boulder, Co. CPS is trying to cover it up by taking my granddaughter wherever she wants to go and buying her whatever she wants. And going after me because I won’t let it go.
I don’t understand why all the ratings are only rated by the younger ages and they don’t ask or pole the older ages. My husband and I love this show. We find it better than 20/20. Please do not cancel this show. You haven’t taken my age into consideration for the poles. I am 73. Thank you.
I love Dateline
I love dateline. Please do not cancel the best show on TV.
