WEBSTER: THE UH-OH FEELING (TV)
Summary
One in this comedy series about a diminutive African-American child and his white guardians. In this episode, Webster learns that his classmate Beth is being sexually abused by their substitute math teacher and fears that he will be next. He promises Beth that he will not tell anyone about what he knows. Fearing the teacher, Webster tells Katherine and George that he does not want to go to school, but won't say why. Finally, they learn what is going on and inform Beth's mother, Amanda. Amanda remains skeptical until Katherine tells her the clues that the child abuse center said to look for in cases of molestation. Amanda realizes that these signs match Beth's recent behavior. The next day Katherine's friend Jan talks to Webster's class about what to do if someone touches them in a way that they feel is wrong. Includes commercials, promos, PSAs, and an ABC News Business Brief.
