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.

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.

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....

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?

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...

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.

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."

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".
