OMG and Corey Haim was only 13 at the time! I wonder if Corey Feldman knew. He needs to speak up now

If you read the full article it does say that Corey Feldman had said the same thing about this happening to Corey Haim on that particular film a while back but didn't mention names. Corey Feldman has spoken out about abuse he suffered himself as well and was treated like a nutter

Yup, I hope he gets vindicated now that the things he has said for years and ridiculed for are now being taken seriously.

It's true; more seem to come out of it a bit messed up than not . There are still major question marks over Macaulay Culkin's childhood for me, too. As far as I know he's never accused anyone of anything but... although he seems to be doing a bit better now... he was an absolute mess with drug problems, depression, anxiety etc. for years. Highly suggests that there's something pretty messed up in his past.

I think even if it isn't a case of abuse just the fame itself can mess a child up if they're not being grounded by a good family. If they surround themselves with hangers on etc

Yes, but he doesn't want to name names. I get that he's scared, but I think he should just say who these people are. Otherwise there will never be justice.

I know, it just pisses me off how these perverts get away with it and probably are still abusing people

It's not just about being scared though. He's not the one in a position of power with money and legal aid at his disposal.

He was talking about the paedophilia in Hollywood on The View once and Barbara Walters accused him of "damaging an entire industry". But I read last night that he's given names to the LA police and they're now finally investigating the ring he's been trying to expose for years.

I wonder if they'd have investigated way back when, if the first step he took in trying to expose the ring was handing the list of names over to the police. Any excuse for them to not investigate are just bull - it's easy to say "the current climate is better for them to dig the dirt" or "recent revelations might make prosecution easier" - sure, the world might be more receptive now, but that's no excuse to let it continue, or to let people remain unpunished, so yea I have to wonder if Feldman was ever told to take his evidence somewhere else by the police.

Feldman was a victim too, let's not direct anger his way for him being forced into a lifetime of silence.
