Alyson Stoner Opens Up About the Damaging Effects of Hollywood on Children

Alyson Stoner is speaking out about the damaging effects Hollywood has on child stars. In an op-ed entitled, “The Toddler-to-Trainwreck Industrial Complex”, Stoner talks her own experience as a child star in Hollywood and how the industry needs to do more to protect this from happening to future child actors.

It is an extremely moving piece and one that we have heard far too many times. Hopefully, the industry sees the light and begins to make a change.
