Why am I at the State Capitol? | A Dear Hollywood Update

I vlogged my experience visiting the Ohio state capitol to help introduce The Kidfluencer Protection Act! If you've been following Dear Hollywood, you know this is one part of the plan to help protect child performers - state legislation. The road is still long ahead, but feeling grateful for the movement and opportunity. Keep spreading the word!!
Thank you Representative Grim and Representative McNally for having me.

You really are creating change. Thank you for protecting children out there being exploited❤️

[@claudiasotelo6956]

Even if the legislation doesn’t pass (fingers crossed it does 🤞🏼) you’ve already planted the seed. You should be very proud of yourself!!❤

[@asmrearthchild3315]

This is how you use your privilege to bring change for good!! Thank U Alyson!!!!

[@jafbaxt3]

As an Ohioan this is awesome!!! We need more people like you advocating in the state!

[@kamsismith]

I heard that Illinois passed this law and I hope Ohio will do the same as well as other states and countries.

[@charlotteroberts]

Incredible work. Best of luck.

[@amandanoelle734]

look at you literally CHANGING things & making the world safer, I applaud you for all you do 💙

[@jerikeeley1361]

Thank you for using your position of power to work for children. You're doing such a good work!

[@ExploringTheTube-fd1oo]

It's kind of wild to witness your journey to change your country in real time. You're speaking to the public trying to change their minds and speaking to politicians to help protect your fellow countrymen. Maybe someday child celebrities becoming drug addicts or dying will become a stereotype of the past. I'm rooting for you!

[@angelaholmes8888]

alyson you are truly a remarkable person to do this 😊

[@evalynn1863]

I'm so proud of you. I can't even fathom how many kids are going to have drastically better lives because of the work you're doing.

[@Musicalowl12]

You are so well-spoken and careful with your words that I have no doubt you did a great job at that hearing. You also are very well-researched on the topic beyond just your personal experience. I'm glad there is someone like you out there advocating for this.

[@Nah-gw1np]

As someone living in Columbus! Thank you so much for being apart of policy and legislation!

[@MountainPearls]

I live in NC (the mountains)…I’m all for this (former teacher who has personally seen the fallout of family vlogging…including a whole school that went on lockdown for an hour because of a stalker spotted. The bullying the child went through was horrendous. I felt like I was putting out fires, instead of really teaching, all year long). I know a state rep.….we went to high school together (at least he *was*…he lives in a different district. Either way, he knows people and stands up for education and the rights of children). Lots of things are filmed here (in both the mountains and on the coast- Wilmington). If you reach out, I can put you in touch. (His name is Sam Searcy. I’m friends with his sister).

[@nightcoreeclub]

get her hooked up 😂

[@nightcoreeclub]

fr though. child entertainers need protections everywhere they can get them

[@MountainPearls]

@@Ark-ys2up I know many teachers with similar stories (including 4 family members in education-and 6 or 7 close friends. You’d be hard pressed to find a teacher who doesn’t have a negative opinion of family bloggers from their own experience. And they don’t have to be big. This family has less that 30 thousand followers. A reason the bigger family bloggers take their kids out of school is because no one, parents especially, want the kid in a class with their kid. It’s very sad).

[@MountainPearls]

Furthered, you’d be hard pressed to find teachers who think kids having social media is an idea. Bullying, and other problems on campus, have sky rocketed since kids started getting Social Media. At the very least, a kid needs a valid ID saying they are 16 to have it. I would argue 18).

[@bradybennett]

This video just gave me so much hope. It has been pretty grim these days with what's been circulating online. Thank you so much for doing the work and creating positive change. Such an inspiration.

[@dereklarberg6357]

I saw this on Spectrum news over the weekend. Great to see the attention you are bringing to the underside of child stardom

[@aliciamichelle955]

This is so awesome. I appreciate this so much. A movement I am wholeheartedly behind ❤

[@ChristineMichelle]

You are absolutely an incredible human! Thank you for fighting for kids ❤

[@Strawlighte]

As a fellow Ohioan, I’m so glad to see our home state making such important legislation!

[@PirateFrodoPotter]

[@the1law500]

Omg, I am nobody but I am so damn proud!! 😍😍😍 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Thank YOU Alyson!!

[@britpoppansy]

Proud of you!! I would have had a panic attack at the podium and ran out of the room, but that's just my weird problem. Yet I did plays in high school and loved it. Go figure. Haha.

[@davisneves]

excellent work Alyson! Thank You on behalf of all children!

[@Imallwrite212]

This is such a cool example of how to implement change. Thank you!

[@nightcoreeclub]

thank you for doing something to protect kid entertainers as you used to be. nothing more wholesome than a powerful person using said power to try to change things for the better.

[@RatedTForTravis]

I'm so freaking proud of you! Look at you getting SH!T DONE!!

[@LucasworldTV]

WHY IS THIS NOT ALL OVER THE NEWS?!!!!!

[@DaShelbzzz]

You walk the walk. It's one thing to spread awareness and to educate, it's another to be a mover. Alyson striving for meaningful change as per usual, hell yeah.

[@kristin.1124]

Super great news!!! Really loved your podcast, was shocked a lot of the times & recommended it to so many friends. Can't wait for the 2nd season. Thanks for your work!!!! :)

[@HaleyMary]

You are so amazing, Alyson! Thank you for protecting the children!

[@baxatakbaxatak2014]

You ought to be a counselor on set for child stars. You’ve got a warmth and an understanding.

[@somebodythatiusetoknow2027]

I really really hope they pass these laws for kiddos in the entertainment industry

[@captainkacke1651]

Thank you for fighting for this❤️

[@reddenver]

It seems like a whole different arena of media literacy and readiness to operate in the political spectrum. Can’t wait to see how you navigate this, you’re amazing.

[@shyeahright]

Outstanding. You are a force. 💕

[@katsu_fries]

So proud of your work! Thank you for using your own journey to help others, it means so much.

[@ryanmarthaller]

Absolutely phenomenal! 👏

[@phillyroots702]

The Awesome Alyson Stoner! Gotta Love Her Passion in doing sooooo much good in the world!!!

[@lesliesheppard6112]

More states need to make regulations when it comes to kids on the internet. Thank you for speaking up for those who don’t yet have a voice.

[@random_envuelto]

Congrats Alyson 💛 I'm pretty grateful because there are people with good heart like you doing something to change the life of someone that its growing and doesn't know how to manage that impact. Sending tons of love from Colombia 💞💞💞

[@queenofdramatech]

OMG! My parents are from OHIO. I was born in NY but feel an affinity towards Ohio. Congrats on what you accomplished! I hope the bill passes!

[@briannakadlecik4304]

This is awesome! Keep using your voice to advocate for change!

[@giabarrone7422]

I’m so proud of you! Keep changing the world!

[@cpkgrownup9496]

That’s amazing. Congrats! Looking forward to see what you do in the future. You’re appreciated.

[@cityscape2818]

This is such a positive thing that you’re doing. I’m praying for your mind to be refreshed and rested because it sounds very time consuming but very worth it to see through to the end. A lot of good can come as a result and I see a lot of good things happening for you. Stay blessed 🙏🏾

[@chelseacuzzocrea6956]

WOAH! I got 100 flashbacks to various speaking engagements in these spaces, so excited to see where this story goes next!!!!

[@Lilybet1316]

Great job Alyson!!🙌

[@nittyarizza]

Amazing!! Great work Alyson

[@goldenstatepkr]

HUGE WIN! Thank you.

[@gabryella.carranza]

Well done!

[@casperblue3668]

You're the dopest person out there thank you for all your hard work

[@TheJanaRina]

Congratulations Alyson! That's amazing news!

[@lindabuck2777]

You’re so awesome and making a change!!! You go girl!🙏🏻❤️🤔

[@maikibordercollie]

A great initiative. Thanks for your involvement.

[@itsmarthai]

Thank you

[@amandaalexopoulou7089]

Congratulations !!!!!

[@missladypaigee]

Alyson this is amazing! Thank you for doing this for our littles. It takes this type of action for positive impact to be made. You going through the experiences you now work to help avoid are beneficial for future well beings. Some child stars are dead, or still hurting and or in conservatorship and then there is you working to bring CHANGE 👏🏻 I’m so happy you are able to do so. Proud of you

[@CaliMel184]

This is great. I really really hope that all places make this the norm from now on.

[@mikerealness3551]

Much love Alyson! So very proud of you! ❤

[@lijntje266]

epic =D so proud of you

[@ThisIsJessPaul]

This is really amazing and such a great step forward. It's only unfortunate that once a child influencer has become popular, taking their Vlogs down off their main channel after a certain age is almost completely useless if anyone in the community has ever easily downloaded the videos, and can re-upload.

[@challienorrington]

thank you for leading the way

[@katmaria3335]

This is incredible work!

[@RockinGirlx93]

You’re doing such a great work!

[@angelharmon2465]

So proud of u thank u for ur bravery ❤

[@catscats664]

You’re doing it, Alyson!!

[@MyTran-uu5rq]

Omg!! I saw you on the news but it's been so long I didn't recognize you at all with your hair cut! You did amazing!

[@mitzifelix7966]

Good work!!!

[@jessicalopez9629]

Love it❤!

[@here5D]

Thank you :D

[@WendyMcCleskey]

Goodness I’m so proud of you! 🥳

[@lavilish]

This is amazing news! Keep at it :D

[@harrisonbaker1738]

[@Lavender444xxx]

Revolutionary!

[@darkforestcinema]

Awesome job, you're doing great! -Sage

[@JuniorBaconSleezeburger]

Thank you for making me proud of my state legislators for once, plot twist

[@camillemarie_23]

Petition to see the finished product of what you built with the Legos 👀 haha In all seriousness though, great work on this! This is just the beginning of the changes that will be made as a result of your efforts. 👏🏻😊

[@Hank.Will.I.Ams.]

Heck yeah dude!!!

[@mohriagatlin7581]

The symbolism.. thank you

[@astrinymris9953]

Congratulations! Here's hoping this bill passes! 🤞🤞🤞

[@JamieSmile14]

[@spider-mantobeymaguirefanc9469]

wow!!!

[@pokeminleaugeman1490]

Yeah it got passed in my state go Ohio

[@GARYofficialmusic]

This is incredible Alyson, thank you for being such an inspiring person and creating real change! Is there somewhere to read the proposed bill? Would love to peruse it.

[@Don-C.L.]

You're the best thing to have come from Ohio. Lately, the only news you ever hear is about the East Palestine's water pollution or certain securities not afforded to them.

[@DandyLion728]

Hello from Ohio! ❤

[@myaleeza]

👏🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾

[@TheSneezefreak]

I'd love to see the full version of this bill being presented
