Here we go! The children who were abused are starting to speak out. Alexander Polinsky is tweeting about his experiences on the set of CHARLES IN CHARGE.
He's reaching out to Scott Baio. Scott was a cast mate. Scott was also targeted by Erin Moran of HAPPY DAYS as someone she wanted to talk to. What did Scott witness? Think we'd all like to know.

For 30 years I’ve held in the embarrassment and shame of being abused daily on the set of Charles in Charge. I had to watch other children be abused as well. It was devastating, destroyed me personally and made me an angry person for many years. I’m not embarrassed anymore. RT!

I‘m trying to contact former castmate @ScottBaio and I am having no luck. I want to speak with him about the abuse I suffered and witnessed on the set of Charles in Charge. Physical, mental, verbal & sexual abuse. Please retweet this with maximum effort.

My abuser thought he was above the law, above morality and beyond judgment. To the quiet ones, the shy ones, the different, the unique ones, and you too. Fuck the pedos, the abusers and the sleazy womanizers... We are in charge now.

Libs gonna jump on this cause its Trump lovin' Scott Biao
Limpness ago
Heard of the Franklin scandal? Pedophelia is prevalent with US dems. and republicans..Nice for blackmail. People are targeted and helped to get elected for that reason . The clintons did a lot of this ..raising money for their chosen ones. If we unite, we won't need a revolution.

Scott Biao was likely targeted for abuse and not an abuser. I grew up liking the movie Bugsy Malone in which he stared. Now that I look back at a cast of children looking and acting like adults.... I certainly hope there were safeguards and watchdogs on that set to protect all those children.

Its a psychiatric maxim that the abused quite often, not always, become an abuser, and that is not limited to actual criminal abuse of another, that includes verbal and relationship abuse and self-harm (drug use;pornography). The factors that align for Mr. Baio since his childhood make it highly unlikely he escaped abuse, and since his career has taken him where it has and he has of yet not mentioned anything of the sort then I guess, like many and most 'artists' staying silent for the sake of the 'industry' and 'art', and otherwise being very vocal about politics, things are gonna just stay the same.
Readthesymbols ago
Agreed that a percentage of the abused become abusers. However, because his past cast members who were abused looked to him for support and seemed to think kindly of him, I doubt he was ever an abuser. He seems also to be one of the black sheep in Hollywood. What I mean is, there are those who go against the grain in Hollywood like Tim Allen, Charles Heston, Greg Kinnear etc. who are marginalized because they don't go along. Scott Baio is one of those odd ones out.

Wow! You just Sparked Something. It just dawned on me about Bad News Bears. This was really not my generation, but we went with a friend because their kids were on a BB Team. Think of all the children in there. These movies were surely thought up to cast as many minors as possible. Bringing them into the studio day after day. Hard to think about now.
elephantdoesntforget ago
Good point. 'Bad News Bears' always evokes chilling feelings in me. The term seemed to be used a lot among pedophiles.
As in, 'You're going to be Bad News Bears if you don't do what I'm asking you to do.'
carmencita ago
Wow. Never heard of that saying before. Wonder if it was one of those Hiding In Plain Sight Messages @millennial_vulcan Might be worth looking into who was in it.
elephantdoesntforget ago
Yeah, the term even leaked into mainstream TV / pop culture when the remade movie came out several years ago.
carmencita ago
Wow. Just wow. Can't get over it. Hope I don't forget to check who was in that movie. Was Tatum O'Neal in that movie. If she was, her Dad was a woman abuser.
millennial_vulcan ago
um, her dad was a CHILD abuser. Ryan O Neal was/is the biggest piece of shit in all of Hollywood and that's saying something...
carmencita ago
Well, I kind of figured he abused her too, not only Farrah who def was MK Ultra. But have not seen much one here about him. I can't remember the last time I saw him on TV but all I kept thinking of was, He is coming off as a Scumbag. So full of himself.
Readthesymbols ago
wasn't Corey Feldman in Bad News Bears at one point?
elephantdoesntforget ago
Not sure. The point I guess is notoriety... everyone knew to fear someone who mentioned working on Bad News Bears... you could just utter the term 'Bad News Bears' and people would jump.
Common thread in a spiders web.
migratorypatterns ago
Yes, but Polinsky is not alleging Baio was culpable or part of the abuse. He said he was reaching out ...
It's the same thing Moran did, and Baio did speak with her. He's one of the few that remained open and got blasted because he didn't do enough. I'm waiting for other names to come out re: Happy Days. There are at least three people from that show that are on my radar -- BIG TIME!!!
But you're right ... Baio is again going to get hammered because he's the Trump supporter. While everyone should be going after the abusers, they'll go after Scott.
ASolo ago
Great thread, keep tossing candles in that dark pit that is Happy Days to see if you spook out a bunch of demons that wove huge webs throughout Hollywood.
What 3 names were ya thinkin? Howard, Winkler and Most?
migratorypatterns ago
Just found where Winkler did defend Kevin Clash after he was fired for allegedly sexually abusing teen.
migratorypatterns ago
Exactly.
The names I was thinking -- and there's absolutely no proof to suggest these names are in any way connected to abuse in any form (gotta be careful not to accuse innocent people) -- are: Henry Winkler, Ron Howard, and Gary Marshall. They would have had the most access to Erin Moran and be high enough on the food chain to be able to implement abuse. And Winkler's comments/tweets to Moran, especially on her passing:
Creepy or is just me? And, naturally, he didn't attend the funeral. TOO BUSY?!!!! Yeah, right! Too busy to take five minutes out of that hectic schedule he must have.
finska ago
Another childrens book with a title/theme that has a possible double meaning..... butts....?
migratorypatterns ago
Right!
millennial_vulcan ago
Garry Marshall 100% guaranteed.
Happy Days, Princess Diaries, Pretty Woman,.,.all the classics.
migratorypatterns ago
Well, the other reason is his sister is way overrated and given directorial credits ala Angelina Jolie. When someone talentless gets that kind of opportunity, you can bet something is behind it because she sure didn't earn it. Come to think of it, didn't she direct Tom Hanks? He was just accused of the same thing.
Birds of a feather.
carmencita ago
Sink the Howard Ship! He is featured in that video with Tom Hanks, Toddlers and Tiaras. It is a Hiding in Plain Sight Message. Time to Take These Suckers Down. These are people that lied to us for decades. Where these people that partied out in the open and took drugs and got arrested for DUIs? No. They paraded around with Goody Two Shoes Families. Opie of All Things! $tring Them Up.

Oh, thanks for posting it. I watched it again last night. Not wanting to after seeing it at least 10 times, months ago. I have known about this pervert and Kimmel and Howard since then. People need to watch this for it will solidify any thoughts you may have that this is just something that warrants a slap on the wrist. The woman that accused him is a victim of SRA. I am hoping that others will come forward, for I am sure they are out there. Hanks has people feelers out there, we can suppose, ready to buy them off. Or frighten them into silence. These pedos are extremely manipulative and can be violent at times. Let's hope this take down is going to spread.
millennial_vulcan ago
great point. I had forgotten about poor Erin Moran. Jeez, such a cute kid who obviously had terribly demons.
FUCK! Her too??
Next we'll be hearing about little Laura Ingalls Wilder and Michael fucking Landon....
ASolo ago
There is this: Melissa Gilbert: I was sexually harassed by Oliver Stone , and in my mind there is undoubtedly more.
I was shocked as hell and totally destroyed my perception of Melissa Gilbert when she was in a Nip/Tuck episode embroiled in a horrible story whereby her husband had to kill the family's germany shepherd because Gilbert's character was using peanut butter to lure the dog lick her genitals. That told me all I needed to know about her, how could any actor accept that role for purely Hollywood shock aesthetic?
Remember the weird and creepy kind of 'MILF' spin they attempted to put on the 'mothers' of these sitcoms like Brady bunch, Partridge family and even happy days?
Was it a deliberate attempt at inculcating the Oedipus complex in boys or was it because they knew these actors, male and female, were all sluts?
millennial_vulcan ago
She was also President of SAG AFTRA (the actors union) for years and her grandfather created the very first ALL AMERICAN sitcom The Honeymooners
Take a read. She has fingers everywhere. God knows what abuse she knows about and is protecting...

Same Subject - Different People. Read This http://variety.com/2017/film/news/john-oliver-dustin-hoffman-sexual-harassment-1202630709/ Very Odd discussion between John Oliver and Dustin Hoffman. Also on the panel was Robert DE NIRO!!! Wow! But at the end of the article was something interesting. Their discussion was about the one accusation and they never talked about the NEW ones. Read the last paragraph.
migratorypatterns ago
OMG! Hoffman is scum. And he's another one with this sterling reputation.
carmencita ago
Melissa sounds as if she may have been MK Ultra. These antics sound a little nuts. Her father could have passed her around like RR was by Carl. Too many different involvements for me. AFL-CIO speaks Mob to me as well. Also do you remember the girl Nellie on the Prairie Show? She came out as having been sexually abused by a family member and in an interview by Ann Curry she said that Landon was not as he portrayed, family man and such. She said he smoked, drank and sweared on the show. I happen to know his kids had problems with drug addiction and bulimia while growing up. I somehow have a feeling some nasty things may have happened on that show. Landon died of cancer in 91.
InnocentAngels ago
You won't believe this, but on The Talk today Sarah brought up A Open Secret. She said a friend had told her to watch it. She then said she remembers when she was young she knew of child predators on set. I was really shocked after us talking about her and her sister yesterday. Great news, will bring more awareness nationwide.
carmencita ago
This is great news! Hopefully people will be looking it up on the internet. If they do, I am sure they will see her Tweet.
InnocentAngels ago
Thought you might like to see it. Start at 4:30. http://www.cbs.com/shows/the_talk/video/QWW8O1Or3iI8f43R_a02flM3ZoPxgd7f/the-talk-12-6-2017/
carmencita ago
I know what it is. For some reason I am not getting the sound. I have tried everything but to no avail. This happens every once in a while. Thank You.
InnocentAngels ago
Sorry no sound. It played for me. Just so glad to see it in MSM on a show watched by many women.
carmencita ago
I was surprised that a show that featured Sharon Ozborne would feature her. Amazing.
millennial_vulcan ago
Great minds Carm....did you read my comment from below posted earlier:
"the actress that played Nellie Olson is a very messed up adult who became a B list comedian over the years. She has alluded to sketchy stuff re ML in her material, interviews etc."
carmencita ago
Another Non Arrival by our Crack Voat Mail Rm. Not surprised about him now. I have been wondering since a lot of them have been accused, especially the "Untouchables".
InnocentAngels ago
Also, Melissa's sister is Sara Gilbert who was in Roseanne Barr's TV show. And we all know Roseanne talks about MK Ultra a lot.
Shizy ago
She was also on the show with the old cackling hens, aka the view
carmencita ago
I have felt for some time that all the Presidents of The Screen Actor's Guild have been MKU.
InnocentAngels ago
Very possible knowing all we know now.
migratorypatterns ago
Awesome.
Thanks.

I'm not accusing Michael Landon of anything, but I do recall a older gay man I worked for in college telling me that he confronted Michael Landon in a gay bar in LA during the '70's about being a hypocrite. Maybe Landon was there with friends and he was straight, but I did not get that impression from his story.
millennial_vulcan ago

It'll be the next one to blow up, for sure.
migratorypatterns ago
I wouldn't be surprised.
And the thing is that it's all so unnecessary. It's a goddamn TV show, for Christ's sake!!!!! It should be fun ... for the kids and for the everyone. Yes, there's a lot of hard work, but there's no need for this salacious, ILLEGAL, perverse element to be sliding in and ruining children's lives!
These pedos are DESTROYERS!!!! They are so fixed and so obsessed that they allow nothing to get in their way of destroying innocence.
