This was a weak drawn out attack on a guy who was very obviously yea a jerk; and who didn't treat people right all the time; however people allowed themselves to be "controlled" by him ultimately for money or to not loose their jobs. They all had a choice. The way they banged on about Dan Schneider getting daily massages was just ridiculous, at any time any one of those people could have said no. And if they decided their jobs were more important then their self worth then that's on them. These failed child actors from the 80's talking about their insecurities at not being able to maintain fame are insecurities I'm sure we have all felt at one time or another, and are not specifically a trauma from being child actors
What this documentary highlighted was that kids ultimately were not protected by their parents. The few parents who did have concerns and spoke up seemed very easily placated by the responses they received. At any time they could have removed their children from that environment if they had wanted to.
This doco grasped at straws, drake bells mum allowing him to be alone with the pedophile after the dad specifically said not to, for drakes safety, there is so much responsibility on her for that as well. Who lets their kids sleep at another adults house because they "didn't like driving"
Nikelodean did the right thing by sacking Dan eventually. While things could have and should have been done differently; I think we can all acknowledge that the world has come a long way since the 80's and to make a 4 part series about the way a guy behaved in the 80's is as ridiculous as old playboy bunnies accusing Hugh Hefner of being a pervert.
