It's crazy how censored this video is. I understand why you're doing it but it really highlights how bad KZbin has gotten. We can't even have a honest discussion about child predators, with KZbin's current regulations for content creators. Maybe that was the whole point. It wasn't to protect kids. It was to protect the bad guys.

Let's just make one thing really clear. There is no such thing as a "consenting minor". You cannot consent if you are a minor. Not fighting back or outright saying no doesn't equal consent. That's just coercion, manipulation, and grooming.

It's funny (weird?) how panicked parents were in the '80s and '90s about "stranger danger" and kids being abducted, meanwhile the reality is that most kids get assaulted by someone they know. They really had no clue how to protect us, or even where they actual threat was coming from. I hope we can do better for the next generation by teaching them to not have secrets with any adults, and to have confidence in their bodily autonomy and ability to say no and leave uncomfortable situations .

[@partysuvius]

It’s more that we should teach kids what red flags are and what the flags mean. To watch out. Count flags, count the warning signals that their bodies give them. Children are highly perceptive and we NEED to shape their perception to become accurate and strong. That will be a defining feature of their childhood to help them for the rest of their lives. I know too many people whose senses were dulled by their parents, teachers, peers, etc. and they couldn’t reverse this dulling of their senses. Some people are drug or alcohol abusers and I wish I could help them.

@@theoutsiderjess1869 exactly this! Parents would expect the worst from strangers but when little kids reveal that an uncle touched them inappropriately so many parents are quick to dismiss it as a lie. Kids have a hard time hiding their emotions, when they are in discomfort because of someone it's easy to tell but many parents choose to ignore obvious signs to protect someone they think they know. We really need to start telling people that a predator can be anyone, even someone that never did anything to you personally, even someone you like. Also kids have a hard time processing and explaining what happened to them in those situations, but when they really don't like being around some adults that make them uncomfortable in ways they don't quite know how to explain, parents tend to force them to comply and call them rude for not wanting to be touched. I believe that's also how those predators keep getting jobs in hollywood. Their friends don't take the accusors seriously because "he would never do that", meanwhile any child psychatrists would tell you the child accusing the guy is displaying obvious signs of trauma. People are more willing to believe that a child would deliver an oscar worthy performance and fool everyone, than to admit that adults are far better at lying and manipulating a child and also can have all sorts of sexual perversions.

when it comes to child molestation/rape charges, it's much harder to convict. According to the Shreveport Times, The conviction rate according to some estimates is around 45-50%, and experts cite multiple reasons for the disparities in sentencing and conviction rates. One is that young children often are difficult witnesses because they include "fantastical" elements in their testimonies or they cannot give detailed, accurate information to investigators, said Dr. Sharon Cooper. Cooper, a forensic pediatrician who has provided expert testimony in more than 300 cases involving internet and child sexual abuse crimes, also said that forensic interviews of children may not show any physical evidence of abuse, as many children wait years to disclose. Contrast that with child pornography cases, where the conviction rate is close to 100%, because there is clear and concrete evidence in the form of the photo on the PC.

[@kimm7611]

The debate between how easy it is to say “no” to producers really intrigued me because it definitely reflects on who these child actors turned into. I think Dylan was right that anyone can just say no if they don’t want to do something, but the problem was a lot of disney channel stars felt owned by the company, almost stockholmed into staying loyal. that’s why we see so many disney channel stars have a flop era, because after leaving the channel they had to cope with the emotional trauma of what working for disney is really like. Actors like bella thorne, miley cyrus, and demi lovato brand themselves with themes of drugs and sex in an unhealthy effort to separate themselves from the “innocence” of children’s programming as much as possible. The difference between the sprouse twins and the various other child actors was the presence of support in their lives during their career. it’s super obvious that cole and dylan were very close as twins and posed as anchors to each other throughout their childhood, but other actors, especially those with controlling families such as the jonas brothers were forced to blindly listen to any adults’ bidding at an age where they couldn’t distinguish good treatment from bad treatment. I find it really disappointing that young actors are actively not taught how to care for their wellbeing and identify when enough is enough, meanwhile being completely neglected by their families as theyre obviously using them as a moneymaking machine. There should definitely be some sort of protocol that requires a third-party advisor and emotional counselor on sets with minors on it who can explain things like contracts in order to finally give child actors the power of choice over their own lives

[@bellaaj5956]

I completely agree with everything you said. I also want to add how incredibly disheartening it was to hear Cole and Dylan speak as if everyone is given the same privilege as they were, even though support and the right to say no should be the bare minimum.

[@Starburst514]

Support is definitely the difference. Not just being close with each other, but (not done w the video so IDK if im about to be proven wrong) but I always got the impression that despite their parents putting them in the business, their parents were also supportive and assured them in many things. A lot of child stars having a solid/healthy to a close relationship with their parents can be the defining factor in how they fare.

Nothings changed from when Shirley Temple and Judy Garland where kids. The industry from the bottom to the hierarchy is full of them and people know what they are but turn a blind eye. It’s their parents I blame some of them aren’t bothered as long as their getting a backhander.

[@Samzillah]

I feel like Dylan and Cole got a very good run in Disney, and it kind of sucks that they look down on other child stars who ended up treated worse, or who had bad/weak management. They were established actors by the time they got their show, which put them in a good position, and they clearly had a decent team and were taught how to advocate for themselves. A lot of these disney stars are managed by desperate parents who force their kids into it and bend to every whim. The Jonas Brothers were far more valuable as a massive boyband/acting trio, and therefore were far more controlled than the twins. Dylan and Cole never had to contend with creeps leaking their private pictures, or sexualization, or scandal over how much skin they might show like the girls on Disney did. Its easy to say 'you can say no' when you're willing to lose everything, and actually have people on your team to support you.

My middle school hired a man who had gotten a 15 year old girl pregnant before he had started working there. He had been a PRIEST at the time. He hadn't been prosecuted but there was no room for speculation because she literally had his baby. I found this out because he was inappropriate with me. He made me really uncomfortable and I looked him up. There was a news article about how he had been transferred from teaching at the high school after the board found out about his past. They thought it was somehow better to have him around 11 year-olds. When my parents confronted the school about what he was doing to me, all they did was move me to the class next door. Thank God he didn't bother me anymore after that, but they allowed him the opportunity to do it to other kids.

[@corv1d770]

At the highschool I dropped out of (because it was just honestly that bad), there was one teacher caught sexually abusing and grooming a student, and they still allowed him to work. He wasn't even convicted, the family got intimidated into dropping the charges, and the only thing the sicko lost is his wife. He continues to work there because he's a "good football coach" and brings in money, but his access to the football team AND his double duty as a history teacher is disconcerting to say the least. I had his class, and he was weirdly friendly with me in retrospect. In the moment I thought he was the "cool teacher". He let us curse, he let us have snacks and drinks in class, he was charismatic. That's the scary part. That whole town is corrupt. It goes into the police force too. Small town America can be a dark place.
