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.

UpVoat for this.
I've gotta say I was unfamiliar with this name, but if he was involved with all these shows, his specialty was child stars/shows. Of course, Polinsky doesn't name the abuser so we don't know yet who it was, but it stands to reason it was more than one person. These people work in "crews". It's what bullies do.

I do hope he names names....bring these sadistic bullies to their knees.

I do, too.
The only thing that's annoying is his insistence on talking to Scott Baio. He says that Mrs. Baio DM'ed him, but it wasn't good enough.
This is about personal power. It would be lovely if everyone woke up and was redpilled at the same time as everyone else, but it doesn't work like that. Polinsky needs to do what's good for him, and going after Baio is not ... not unless there's part of this story I'm missing. Go after the abuser. If push comes to shove, and he does file suit or if the molester is arrested, then witnesses can be called, even hostile ones.
But you can't MAKE someone a friend. You can't. Again, If that's what this is about.

Yeah I don't think victims should force other victims out into the open. He is free to tell his truth and should on his own two feet. Maybe there is shared story though and he wants to speak to Scott before he speaks about it publicly? All conjecture and we don't know anything really yet. Time will tell I guess
