That is where the alleged abuses have been known to occur. As well as when the child is sent to be coached for jobs by a manager/agent, etc.

The parent doesn't sit in during coaching or casting sessions.
Well I was watching one of the child actors on tv the other day from Witches of Waverly Place being interviewed, and he was discussing that parents needed to be present due to child labor laws.

On set. But not during a casting.

You go on castings to be screened for potential jobs. There's no labor done there, no "work" it's like a "screen test".

On set there are teachers and chaparones and all sorts of people to look after the child's welfare on set.

NOT during a casting session, NOT during an acting class or coaching session with an acting coach, manager, or agent.

OK, so these people may say that during these "sessions" a child may be distracted if a parent is present........

however........

There is absolutetly NO REASON why the parents shouldn't be able to observe these sessions from nearby, in real time, using a "nannycam" system.

Parents need to start demanding it.

This news doesn't surprise me. It's sad but Hollyweird is the land of the liberal perverts who want to teach the joys of sodomy to small children beginning in kindergarten. They call this being "progressive" and "leaning forward". They hate Middle America and how it "clings to guns and religion".

So, is there a video of this episode available online to watch?

The ABC interview with Corey Feldman where he discussed "Hollywood's little secret" never aired.

There are only video links to excerpts of the interview on the article in the original post.

I'm inclined to believe that the last posts I included here about the casting director and talent agent never made news outside of Los Angeles.

I posted about this scumbag a week or so ago. I think you are correct. This got very little coverage at least outside of southern California. I was amazed to read that this guy had gotten only 5 years for kidnapping, flying him across the country and sexually molesting a 7 year old boy. Then when he got released from that ridiculously short sentence, he moved to California, illegally changed his name without notifying the authorities and got a job in Hollywood working with children, showing how easy it is for these predators to work their way around the sex offender lists. I'm sure it helps to be applying for work in sex crazy/kids are our toys Hollywood. But, based on the news lately, it would have probably been easy for him to get work within the Boy Scouts, the Catholic Church, the Public School System or College Sports Teams.

Waaaaaaaaay too many Guys out there molesting young boys. Gotta be stopped.

You cant demand anything once applying for job at a corporation. parents prolly have to sign a legal disclaimer when a kid gets hired at ICM. Look where the money is...and thats when "civil rights" fly out the window.

Always true in corporate law, sadly.

Well then, I guess here is another instance where corporate America needs to be legislated into doing the right thing.

We just can't seem to get away from it.

Anytime a disclaimer is signed the job candidate is in the hands of that corporation. Civil rights have no power over a huge conglomerate, in a court of law.

It is yet another symptom of whats wrong here.

It is clear that there is a sinister network in entertainment and sports. Most recently this has occurred with Penn State and another college in Ohio. There is a connection. A lot of these people are in the occult. Since Polanski was mentioned, he is an absolute scumbag and there have been theories that the murder of his wife and her friends by the Manson clan was some sort of Satanic sacrifice. Of course the scumbag denies this, but those of us in the know are onto him.
