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.

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.
