Jan-Jan's parents, Jojo and Diana Suan, claimed that they have been transferring homes since controversy over the March-12 episode of Willing Willie, where their son appeared, started. Willing Willie is a game-variety show hosted by Willie Revillame (in photo).

Nagsampa ng kasong libelo ang mga magulang ni Jan-Jan Suan, ang six-year-old contestant sa March 12 episode ng variety-game show na Willing Willie, laban sa child psychologist na si Dr. Ma. Lourdes "Honey" Carandang kaninang umaga, Abril 13, sa Quezon City Prosecutor's Office.

Kasama rin sa kinasuhan ng mag-asawa ang mga bloggers na sina John Silva at Froilan Grate. Matatandaan na pareho nilang inilathala sa Internet, sa blog, at sa Facebook ang kanilang pagkadismaya sa March 12 episode ng Willing Willie, kung saan makailang ulit na nagsayaw ng "macho-dance routine" ang bata.

Sa ulat ni Jing Castañeda ng ABS-CBN News, sinabi nina Jojo at Diana Suan na ang patuloy na pagsabing biktima ng child abuse ang kanilang anak ay nagdulot sa kanila ng "dishonor, discredit or contempt."

Muli ring inulit ng mga magulang ni Jan-Jan na hindi nila pinilit ang kanilang anak na sumayaw. Gayundin, hindi rin sila naniniwala na may pang-aabusong nangyari, lalo pa ang hayaan maabuso ang kanilang anak kapalit ng pera.

Iginiit din ni Jojo na ang mga taong nang-aabuso sa kanilang anak ay yung mga patuloy na umaakusa at nagsasabi ng negatibong komento tungkol sa kanila.

Binanggit din ng ama ni Jan-Jan na dahil sa mga pangyayari, hindi na sila nakakatulog nang maayos nitong mga nakaraang linggo at palipat-lipat na rin sila upang magkaroon ng kaunting privacy.

Samantala, muling kinuwestiyon ni Atty. Leonard de Vera, ang legal counsel ng Willing Willie host na si Willie Revillame, ang akusasyon ni Dr. Carandang na naabuso ang bata dahil hindi pa man umano niya nakakausap nang personal si Jan-Jan o ang kanyang pamilya.

Para kay Atty. de Vera, ang sulat ni Dr. Carandang sa Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) ay naging dahilan din ng pagsasagawa ng imbestigasyon ng Commission on Human Rights (CHR), Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), at MTRCB.

Sinabi pa niya na maaring bahagi si Dr. Carandang ng kilusan upang sirain si Willie at ang programa niya.

At katulad ng kanyang mga naunang pahayag, muling inulit ni Atty. de Vera na konektado si Dr. Carandang sa ABS-CBN.

Aniya, si Dr. Carandang ay nagtratrabaho bilang consultant at resource person ng ABS-CBN personnel-related activities ng kumpanya.

Matatandaang may alitan ang ABS-CBN at si Willie Revillame, na humantong sa korte, dahil sa paglipat ng host sa TV5 habang may kontrata pa ito sa ABS-CBN.

    hindi naman sa nangmamata yong ibang tao dito, it's obvious naman they can't afford it, otherwise, hindi nila papasalihin ang anak nila at yong anak nila walang desire to earn money if he is being provided for, i understand the pro bono and yes, they are entitled to anything and so is the opinion of the psychologist and the bloggers, we all have the freedom of speech, but freedom has it's responsibility too! but most importantly, we need to show our kids who are the adults to whom they can depend on, to provide them shelter, food, security and love and not to worry to earn money, kasi yong parents nya ang bahala doon. please let's focus on that, the problem is beyond Willie Revillame, it is how we see Filipino children.

    Ayan kasi mahilig gumamit si WR, di ba sabi Nya yong show Nya ay para sa mga bata at mahihirap. Ayan tuloy napahamak! May bata ngang sumali pero 6 years old Lang sya. Dapat ang sisihin ay yong producer at tv 5. Kasi Hindi sila gumawa ng rules dapat bata ay limitado at dapat pilihin yong tamang edad bago ilabas sa tv. At alam po natin lahat na noong march 12 sumayaw nga yong bata at umiiyak pa. Tapos pinagtatawanan pa ng lahat sa studio kasama na ang host. Tapos pinaulit ulit pa. Hindi naman sana sasayaw yong bata Kung Hindi si Willie. Di ba noon tumayo si Willie sa tabi ng bata tapos gumalaw si willie para pasayawin ulit yong bata at ayon sumayaw ulit ng paulit-ulit. Yong edited video at sa actual na video ay parehas Lang wala pinagiba. Makikita mo doon na sumasayaw yong bata, pinagtatawanan yong bata, umiiyak yong bata at pinaulit-ulit yong bata na sumayaw.

    to all peeps who are saying parents of janjan have no right to sue or cant afford a lawyer, you all peeps are exposing your intelligence. mo where in the penal code say that only the rich and well known names can file a libel suit. the rich and the poor have equal rights to file slander, defamation or libel case. have you heard of PROBONO lawyers or CONTIINGECY lawyers, if you dont, just google it.

    all the parents have to do is to admit the fact that they made a mistake and that they need parenting skills para matulungan sila! gumagaya sila kay Willie Revillame who is on his own world, where he can never be wrong, a person who is arrogant, will always be arrogant to the end! sabi nga sa bible, those who exults themselves will be humbled, and those who are humble will be exulted! wag mayabang, magpakumbaba!

    prettywoman, you use references when you are oblige to back up some uncertain stories. Meaning you are getting information from authors that were already written in the past event. I just mentioned references as to site example in writing thesis to make it accurate. This janjan issue is not a study but a sort of alleged crime committed by willie. We need here strong evidences and not references.

    wow, the parents have the nerve to sue for dishonor, very funny, the mere fact that you allowed your child to appear on TV so he can earn money is a dishonor! the nerve! on the basis that the child was not force? what's not to force? he is a child! he didn't know any better! dapat tayong mga matatanda ang magshield sa mga bata, not to force them to grow up too fast! this is so sad, very very sad, ultimate reasoning of child abusers!
