At a panel for Quiet On Set: The Dark Side Of Kids TV, Drake Bell said parents are 'learning along with' their children on set
At a recent panel event following a screening of Quiet On Set: The Dark Side Of Kids TV, Drake Bell and All That alums Giovonnie Samuels and Bryan Hearne addressed criticism of the parents of child stars, who ostensibly didn’t protect their children from the “dark side” that the docuseries covered. “We hear a lot ‘Where were their parents? If I was there—where were their parents?’” Bell said . “And you have to understand — we’re kids. Some of these were our first jobs.
“I completely understand how he just pulled the wool over everyone’s eyes,” Bell shared. “It’s tragic.” Hearne, whose relationship with his mother was also a focal point of Quiet On Set, expressed similar sentiments. “I don’t think it’s on the parents,” he said at the panel. “I think that it’s important that there are people on set...who are tasked to give care and caretake to the emotions of the children on set. That’s the most important thing. The parents can only do so much.
