Corey Feldman is on the record claiming that pedophilia is the biggest problem for child actors in Hollywood.
I have no doubt that he's telling the 100% truth.
If you look at the self destructive nature of Hollywood child celebs it's not too difficult to believe.
Not to mention that Corey Feldman blames one high powered Hollywood Mogul for destroying Corey Haim.
Quote:
Feldman blamed the adults around him, not just those looking to profit from charming children, but also some with far more sinister motives.
"I can tell you that the No. 1 problem in Hollywood was and is and always will be pedophilia. That's the biggest problem for children in this industry. ... It's the big secret," Feldman said.
"I was surrounded by [pedophiles] when I was 14 years old. … Didn't even know it. It wasn't until I was old enough to realize what they were and what they wanted … till I went, Oh, my God. They were everywhere," Feldman, 40, said.

It's the same in some of the children's modelling. There are predators everywhere. I believe him. Look at the Catholic church, and that's just an institution. Fame and fortune attract a lot of undesirables. Blackmailers, stalkers....psychological vampires...
A washed up has-been actor, heavy drinker and drug addict accusing people in hollywood.....
Yup, real believable........
Yes, believable, no sarcasm here. You realize that child sexual abuse often results in substance abuse and other problems all through the victim's life?

You do have a point there, and I don't doubt it's prevalent in the child acting world. As for modeling, my siblings & I were child models and never faced that crap... but that's not to say it doesn't exist. So what do you suggest should be done about that? Abolish acting roles for children, or just investigate/monitor them more closely? I'm asking seriously, btw, since I'm not really sure where the OP is going with this.
I'm going to watch the program to see what he has to say.
Of course there's only so much he CAN actually divulge because there's an unspoken code of "honor" that you never speak out publicly about anyone in the industry if you're "in" the industry.
Like the old saying goes... "you'll never work in this town again"...
There are others who have made the same claims as he has.
There's so much garbage going on in Hollywood that if people really knew what the truth is, there'd be a congressional investigation.

I'm going to assume then that you have boycotted the entire film industry?
On my tv guide, {Dish} it says "Karoke Battle USA" is on ABC at 10:00pm tonight.
