Why are people so afraid of the truth? HOLLYWOOD IS SICK!

Yes, you are right. However, I think it's all very nice. At least, when we look at the big picture.
You see, someone has to pay the price for our entertainment gluttony. They are the sacrificial lambs, consumed by the "dark side of Hollywood" you mention. And for their sacrifice, I thank them! Thank you, actors of the world who got diddled, and touched in the yarbles.
I mean, you want an omelet, you gotta break some eggiwegs, right right?
So, who cares what the identity of this "mystery perv" is? If it wasn't him, it would have been someone else. I say, let them eat cake! After all, it's not OUR children, right?
And I must confess, I do love me some good films. Just so long as I don't have to see the cow before it's butchered, I'm ok with it. I want my steak!
Simply view it as a necessary offering to the Gods of film. They are vengeful, spiteful, and hungry Gods, and must have their sacrifices. It's for the greater good. -

The parents don't give a f! This is Hollywood, fame and money is everything.
Parents in Hollywood will practically give their kids up for a chance at riches and fame. Like you said, the parents serve as their 'managers,' they give up their real jobs and buy expensive homes and cars based on what their kids make. You wouldn't believe how many parents in Hollywood would do anything for the chance. Tyra did an episode once where she held a fake audition for a movie and hired an actor to be the casting director. A mother was asked if she would get her 7 year old daughter plastic surgery if it meant getting a movie role. Her answer was Yes. Other parents were asked by the casting director if they could leave the room so the casting coaches could be alone with the kids. All the parents said Yes.
Despite being abused at this time, Corey Feldman himself was sued by his very own parents when he didn't give them enough of his money at age 14/15. That's where the priorities of Hollywood parents belong.
I know a woman in her mid-30s from LA, she says everyone who lives in Hollywood wants to be famous. Everyone there is either rich with connections, or a total wonnabe. She told me that she use to love it when she was young and shallow but eventually just got tired of the entire scene. It's all about money and fame, it's all they care about. -

Spot on. Hollywood would need to hold these parents accountable who exploit their kids.
For any child experiencing physical or sexual abuse, you have to encourage them to reach out beyond their own family.

You're very brave for sharing your story, Corey, and I'm very happy that you're still here as a survivor. Heartbroken for the ones who lost the fight. Thank you for showing the strength to overcome.

Again, what is wrong with you? Victims are silenced. Try and understand the need (if not the compassion) to help people, especially children, not to remain silent. I don't know why you're so bitter, but I don't appreciate you making this about yourself. The list I gave was for anyone in need of resources for help.

Tabby, go an stroke your pussy and no-one cares what you do or don't appreciate. You are not as special or endearing as you like to think you are.

I wouldn't feel impressed or rely on a twit like you to raise awareness, you couldn't raise 5 cents. In fact, the paradox here is that you lack self-awareness, due to your self-indulgence.

I would say the self-righteousness is all the other way, looking at your IMDB bio. Does praying to Jesus make things so much easier for you? You are one very self-absorbed individual who deludely thinks she is making some sort of impact by being phony and nave.

Let me re-post from the OP so you can stay on topic.
So, I think he's brave enough with what he's done. He's already sound the alarm.
He can't do this alone, others must step forward.
Corey is speaking so that others may step forward. As a group, they have more strength.
There is nothing wrong with posting resources for victims/survivors on a
public
forum.

To do what, prevent it from happening? It doesn't change a darn thing. The system thrives of "victim" mentalities like yours and I wouldn't be surprised if Feldman is blaming abuse on his lack of a career.

Poor achievement a symptom of sexual trauma? Since that's your accusation. Not to mention the bullies that silence you. So you're right, the dark underbelly isn't limited to Hollywood. Thank you for being an example human being who contributes to the victims' mentalities.
