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.

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.

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.'

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.

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...

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.
