Unfortunately what usually happens is that child actors will have one parent or another close family member like an uncle, act as either an agent or manager for the child actor. Part of the reason is so that they can draw a salary + commission from the child's earnings, but it's also done because many of the parents are knowingly putting their children in positions where they are likely to be abused and then covering it up afterwards (as in, "just go with the nice man and do what he says"). I know this because I am a former child actor. I spent just over a year living in Hollywood and during that time met more other child actors than I can count - I remember being the only one who did not have a parent/family member as an agent/manager. Other kids were actually shocked when I told them that.  It creates a really bad situation because people are always reluctant to make an accusation that will likely destroy their entire family, regardless of the abuse they may have suffered. I have a friend whose life has literally been destroyed by this - he feels he cannot move on from the abuse he suffered, and cannot do anything to seek justice because his father would be implicated, and the rest of his family doesn't even know the whole story. It's a bad situation =(. Also I just wanna add that Bella Thorne is absolutely right about this happening all over the place with no one doing anything to stop it. I find it very hard to believe that anyone who was a child actor in the 90s and spent time in Hollywood could possibly be unaware of it (and that was what I noticed at around 11 years old, I can only imagine how much more obvious it would be had I been a few years older).
