A routine morning broadcast transformed into viral gold when Channel 12's Dean Fisher's solution to summer break childcare – bringing son Sean to the studio – resulted in an unscripted family segment that showed viewers the human side of professional journalism.
The even, during Channel 12's "Morning News" transformed a standard report about Israeli travelers' compensation into a delightful family showcase that conquered social media.
Fisher, intimately familiar with Israeli families' summer vacation strategies, learned he operates his own exclusive day camp – except his version unfolds inside a television studio. His little son, Sean, determined that the moment had arrived to explore dad's professional environment firsthand, making his studio debut during live broadcasting.
"He has completely taken over the segment already," host Niv Raskin chuckled, immediately offering viewers context by explaining, "These reporters visiting us also work as full-time parents. We have an informal day camp operating outside, where sometimes children prefer not to participate, choosing instead to stay close to their fathers."

The most charming moment emerged when Sean, demonstrably unfazed by cameras and studio atmosphere, declared with obvious pride while continuing his snacking, "Dad, can people see me on television."
Fisher, attempting professional composure while barely containing his amusement, addressed the host directly, "Raskin, can you handle something like this" - expressing the universal sentiment of any parent compelled to bring children to work during extended school breaks.
