They simply do not respect their children. Yes, you should respect them no matter the age of the child. If a parent is pushing you and not genuinely listening to you, it’s going to be a problem down the road. Encouraging and pushing you into something is two different things.

Not calling the cops on a pedophile because you’re afraid you’ll LOOK like a bad parent is the thing that MAKES YOU a bad parent

"Disney eats child stars" is just an open secret as "Nickelodeon eats child stars" is, I used to think "Nickelodeon is a better company, they don't destroy actor's lives like Disney does." Yeah, that's outdated to what Nickelodeon did now in light of recent spotlighting (because Dan the Foot Man has been called out since me too, which I've been following for the 7 years since being brought up in a Twitter thread), I just bring it up to say I'm not surprised since Disney is definitely just as evil given their track record of ruining child actors.

My heart aches for Amanda. When I was 8 I wrote her a fan letter, and she sent me a signed headshot. While I could never equate my experiences to hers, as an adult, I’ve grappled with my own battles with mental health and substance abuse. This connection makes me empathize deeply with her recent struggles. I genuinely hope she finds the healing she deserves ❤

The same sort of nonces nowadays have TikTok, Instagram, and KZread et al - purposefully to create parasocial relationships with youngsters that they can exploit through a child's precocious journey into adulthood, like a vampire. They're even promoting gambling to children, so that once they hit 18, they think it will be an act of freedom and rebelliousness to immediately _accidentally_ gamble their rent and food money away - because strangely the real life odds to win are much lower than when the streamers play... 🤦🏻

This topic makes me think about the 1962 film “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?”. Throughout the movie we see just how badly damaged and stunted Jane is by her time in the vaudeville circuit. Everyone talked about how much they loved her when she sang “I’ve Written a Letter to Daddy” as a cherubic child. It becomes macabre and twisted when she sings it as a haggard, long-forgotten shell of a human being. Watching it back, it’s like they tried to subtly warn us 62 years ago.

Also, the writer’s rooms for Dan’s shows were always full of men and if women were present they were being humiliated or actively degraded. No surprise that was reflected in the shows themselves. Some people really enjoy humiliating others. Most all the sexual innuendo revolved around humiliation. It was “funny” because the kids were uncomfortable. And if you don’t laugh off or acquiesce to discomfort, clearly you were punished. And the code words like “pickle”, “sausage”, “goo” all reflect the ways groomers will make sexual ideas “fun-sized” for kids. The ultimate act for me was them doing all this with the intention of exposing children at large to these things and making it seem like normal childhood experiences. Really makes you wonder what tf happened to Dan. 🤢

Peck had worked for Disney before. He was on a Disney show called boy meets world, which aired on abc and evidently he creeped everyone out there. So Disney knew very well who Brian peck was long before Nickelodeon. There used to be another clip making the rounds of Brian peck gushing over a very young and very uncomfortable Leonardo de Caprio. Then Disney hire him for a show called the suite life on deck AFTER he was released from prison for child molesting. Disney supporters say that they fired him when they found out. He was in prison and had had a public trial. How could they not know? Disney already had him on one of their own shows where he was a creep and knew he was a creep. Disney is no better than Nickelodeon and in many cases far worse.

The only reason I can think of a parent wanting to put their child in these positions, knowing what we all have known for a while now, is because their child really wants it and the parents think they can protect the child and they won’t be like the “other” parents, or the more likely reason, is that they’re narcissistic and/or living vicariously through their kids and are money hungry and crave fame for themselves. It would seem to hardly ever be the child’s dream but more so the parents dream and it’s selfish. I would love for my family to be in a better position financially but it’s crazy to put that stress on a child and I would never put my kids in a position where they could be hurt or abused. I fear leaving my kids with babysitters. It’s just so sad and so low what parents will risk for wealth and fame. Such a shame.

I feel sorry for Amanda and Drake,they got messed with now it will be a struggle to live normal.

I really feel that this video should be watched by any professionals undertaking the care of children. The fact if someone is gay - touching is still inappropriate- Cognitive dissonance explained etc... This is an extremely insightful video.

This doctor was then attacked on all fronts, her professional reputation ruined, and all because she voiced legitimate medical concerns. This classic grooming behavior is now being normalized in the name of performative moralism. If you really want to hear about victimized children look up the German psychologist or coined the term cis, it is absolutely horrifying.

The more horror stories I hear about child actors and entertainers, the more I feel that there is no SAFE way to have a child be an actor, singer, dancer etc on a national stage/ mass media. Perhaps we should just make it illegal until they turn 18 or graduate from high school. Kids who want to be entertainers can do local school plays, sing in their small towns etc, but no TV, movies, albums/big concerts etc.

But, at the same time, rewatching some of those clips doesn’t even take a whole lot of imagination as to why he would make/keep them.

Nickelodeon could have had a background check for Brian and saw that it was “clean.” Just because someone’s background check appears to be “good” doesn’t mean they didn’t commit any crimes or they were let off the hook. Someone can get away with something and not yet get caught and charged and be put on record.

I like when you say "psychology "

I think the parents don't say anything because they know that will mean the end of the career and no more fame and money coming in. You WILL be blacklisted and the more you know the more danger you are in.

In older eras children would follow parents' footsteps building off from their elder's knowledge progressively instead of going to an academy, the enterprise would be multigenerational, sometimes stretching centuries. That must have left some mark on how people parent to this day

This is shadownbanned

Joe Rogan had hair then because that was before he started doing testosterone and possibly gear

I see a pattern of many of the parents of these kids wanted to be actors/singers themselves. Lots of living vicariously there. Also the money, of course.
