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.

Interestingly, AL BURTON was production manager/consultant for TV shows Charles in Charge, Facts of Life, Different Strokes, One Day at a Time and Silver Spoons which all had reports of child abuse and children acting out as they got older.

I am really not up on those, we never watched them, but I am thinking about them now in relation to all this pedophilia. Yes, how about Ricky Schroeder? I bet he has stories to tell. He was a beautiful looking boy, if you know what I mean. I think he would have been highly sought after in pedowood.

Take Different Strokes for example. 2 of the three kids are dead. 1 from overdose, 1 from fighting, the third was or still is a drug addict. No kids made it out of that show unscathed.
Ricky Schroeder was indeed a beautiful child. He was also a mighty fine actor even as a child. I was in massive tears watching him in the movie The Champ. He went on to have a pretty good career. And there is a chance he may not have ever fallen victim of the predators. His parents would have had to watch him like a hawk and keep him close. I hope he escaped ....I can hope.

Let's hope you are right. There must have been a few that were not damaged, let Ricky be one.
