Online Journalism: Followers of the Indigo Children movement, which started in the 1970s, say a new generation of highly sensitive and spiritually gifted kids are here to save the world. They claim many of these kids are exceptionally smart, self-motivated and sometimes able to read minds. But some doctors say these so-called Indigo Children exhibit characteristics of bipolar and attention deficit disorders. Shin, Watts and Zamora have the story, complete with photos and video interviews.
Shin also produced a radio report profiling the Wertz family and supporters and detractors of the Indigo Children movement.
