Hayden Panettiere on how tough it is growing-up as a child star in Hollywood!

Hayden Panettiere has just revealed how she as a child star avoided a lot of vices growing up in Hollywood!

This is what Hayden said with BBC Breakfast :

“I’m no different to anyone else and those same doors were opened to me and they were very easy to walk through—drugs, alcohol, being in inappropriate places where you shouldn’t be at a certain age—it’s a very tough position to be in, but I had great people to pull me back from it.”

On her thought of other child stars, specifically Amanda Bynes and Lindsay Lohan:

“Being a young female growing up in the industry is tough. I grew up in the generation of the wild child—I was guilty by association. So everyone sits there and waits for you to fall off your horse.”

Panettiere adds:

“But as long as you have people who are willing to tell you the truth and are not afraid to tell you the truth and give you a reality check—it makes a world of difference.”

Hayden is a good example of child star who still works as an adult and is living a clean life free of vices.

Willie Revillame Charged With Child Abuse Over Dancing Boy

MANILA, Philippines – Television host Willie Revillame was charged with violating the anti-child abuse law, Republic Act 7610, before a Quezon City court this week over a six-year-old boy’s sexually suggestive dance on his defunct show, Willing-Willie, two years ago.

The case was raffled off Monday to the Regional Trial Court Branch 86, a family court under the sala of Judge Roberto Buenaventura.

It was filed following the resolution issued by Assistant City Prosecutor Benjamin Samson, who found merit in the complaint filed by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and the Council for the Welfare of Children.

Reports said the separate cases filed by private individuals were dismissed as they do not have the authority to file a complaint under the law.

Section 27 of RA 7610 said that cases of unlawful acts against children can only be filed by the offended party; parents or guardians; ascendant or collateral relative; a representative of a licensed child caring institution; an officer of the DSWD; a village chief; or at least three citizens where the violation occurred.

In an interview with The STAR, blogger Noemi Lardizabal-Dado – one of the private complainants – said they have yet to receive a copy of the resolution involving the case.

The case was filed after Revillame allegedly cajoled the six-year-old boy into doing a sexually suggestive dance on the March 12, 2011 episode of his show on TV5.

The show, which was ordered suspended for 30 days by the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board, received flak after a clip of the incident went viral on the Internet.

Revillame earlier denied abusing the child, saying that there was nothing obscene about his performance.
