  Pedophilia runs rampant in Hollywood and child actors are taught to always say yes and people-please adults. It's horrific!

  The idea of a child being the soul breadwinner of a family is disgusting, that is THEIR MONEY. The parents should be ashamed.

  I actually worked as an intern for Schneider's production company way back in the mid 1990's when he was just getting into kids TV with shows like "All That". My first impression was "Man this guy is cool! He would rather hang with the kids and interns than the suits!" but after a few weeks that had changed too, "Ok, now it's getting a bit weird, this guy is pushing 30 and he is telling lewd jokes and talking spicy to young teens." Needless to say, I was NOT surprised when stories about him broke decades latter.

  the Andi Mack cast was THERE when that predator actor got arrested?! That is so fucking horrific and especially for the boy actors. Imagine finding out you are your adult cast members type and they had bad intent the whole time. My heart goes out to every child actor

  I saw Demi Lovato (and the Jonas Brothers) when I was in the 8th grade, and when I watched the documentary about Demi and her struggles through stardom as a child actress/singer, it made me realize how she was only 3 years older than me when I saw her in concert. She was still just a kid, just like me. I can't imagine being put through that kind of career trajectory at such a young age and having to navigate the fame, demands, and pressures that come from being a child performer in Hollywood.

  It’s crazy how as a kid, I was so jealous of child actors. I wanted to be them so badly. Especially a Nick or Disney kid. Learning about their perspective makes me ridiculously grateful I never had to go through that.

  I’m really glad you’re speaking about this. Dan Schneider really made the shows that built up our childhoods, at the expense of the actors’ mental health

  Candace Owens actually said something that makes sense, Pedophiles will always go after child actors because those kids are taught to suppress their emotions and act like the adult tells you. Scary

  This is why we should go back to cartoons of child characters with professional adult voice actors instead of live action shows with child actors

  Isn't it ironic how in fiction, unhinged powerful people get jailed and in reality, they get a slap on the wrist? Only difference being that IRL law is rigged asf

  when i was younger, my parents found a child actor audition that we spent weeks getting me prepared for. right before my name was called, 6 year old me chickened out and ran out of the room with my mom chasing after me concerned on why i gave up even though I seemed so ecstatic initially. for years i was angry at myself for giving up such an opportunity, but as the years have passed and more videos like this about child actors have come out, i just want to give child-me the biggest hug ever.
