Watch the Youtube movie:
an Open Secret
it’s about Hollywood movie moguls abusing young boys trying to break into the movie business.
no Hollywood studio would back the film and no chain of theaters would show.
it it will quickly be obvious to you why.
One of my boys is really tiny. When he was 5 he looked 2.5. He had the look some people wanted for commercials etc. People would say that he could play a baby and since he could read, he could do lines easily. So I thought maybe I should take him in and see if he could make a little $ and put it away for his future and get out before he was 7. I went down to an agent my friend used for her kids who were working. This wasn’t that long ago. THEY MADE ME LEAVE THE ROOM so they could see how he was without me. I actually did leave and regretted it. He was fine but we never went back. In this day and age no sport or appointment for a child should be without the parent unless it was if the parent is feared to be physically abusing the child. And even then, one of the people in the room needs to be an observing mental health professional (not that they are always paragons of virtue).
