And for whoever\u2019s hammering my inbox, no, when I was Hollywood I did work with a management company that had a line in kids/teens but really I didn\u2019t see any dirty stuff
the \u201cdirty, exploitative\u201d gossip I heard was how aspiring stage moms would pay to go to \u201ctalent expos\u201d in, like, Hawai\u2019i, where agents would be paid to fly in and sleep with EACH OTHER and have a vacation and AT BEST some of these kids would get a chance to move to LA to try to make money for the agents
for all that there WERE hypersexual 14-year-olds with moms who vicariously enjoyed the attention
and the most earnest stage parents who would bend their morals - I remember an evangelical family who didn\u2019t want their elementary-age angel in stuff that said mild curses, but when Scientologists solicited him for an internal campaign that paid, and I called up saying \u201cyou probably aren\u2019t interested but it\u2019s my job to ask?\u201d they were like \u201cwelllllll\u201d
