Over an eight year span this site said Hello to a half-million visitors. Last year’s traffic increased dramatically as the same worries we’ve expressed countless times when it comes to professional young performers began to manifest themselves in utterly innocent reality show children whose parents, for fame, for money, perhaps for validation, literally put them on fame’s railroad tracks with no idea that the Super Chief was bearing down on them. 100,000 visitors arrived here last year, most of them driven by an anxiety that had no name, people who instinctively shared our concern as the widely broadcast meltdowns of reality show families bought and paid for by arrogant networks that would have us believe that the uncompensated children on their artificially contrived reality shows live in a bubble world and will be untouched by their notoriety. We know better, and so do you. Too many parents don’t understand that industry people and their hirelings don’t mind earning dirty money. Our concern is the mess they leave behind in the lives of both the children they exploit on camera and the children who watch their mindless product.

Already looking remarkably adult-like at the tender age of 14, she was quickly cast as Heidi in the 1944 British production "Give Us the Moon," and ...

THE NEW YEAR’S PROMISE
Everything Old Is New Again
We here at AMC are relieved to see 2009 pass into history. The death of Michael Jackson, easily the most triumphant child star of this or any other age, revealed for all to see the profound consequences of fame won young. Lost, and consciously avoided by a world that remembered the music and forgot the cost, was the warped and cruelly distorted character that emerged from the spotlight’s shadows.
Death in another mask arrived with the conviction of Skylar Deleon, a marginal celebrity who nonetheless was portrayed in the Press as a Child Star who used his brief and unremarkable work history to seduce a yachting couple into parting with their yacht and their lives in what was one of the most brutal murders in the annals of maritime crime, especially when it was revealed that the couple was wrapped in anchor chains and, still alive, shoved into the uncaring sea. This conviction marked a first for kids in the business and we note the absolute absence of conscience that delineated the outer edges of social dislocation that stalks unwary families who involve their kids in show
