Even the children of rich people have to do what their parents say. It's probably even harder to help the abused child of rich parents than the abused child of poor parents. The rich are able to hide what they do in their own houses much more easily than poor people can in crowded, thin-walled apartment buildings and neighborhoods. Also, rich people have social power that poor people don't have. I'm sure it's much more difficult to get social services and the police to investigate abuse allegations against rich parents than against poor ones.
Child stars are the only people in the world who have so much more money than their parents that their parents can't really tell them what to do. Child stars are used to being surrounded by adults who try to keep them happy at all costs; that means that they also don't understand how much power all adults have over all children in general, even over children who aren't theirs. Child stars are, therefore, some of the least qualified people in the world to understand the anguish that the conglomerate's promotion of child molestation has undoubtedly caused countless children all around the world.
Unfortunately, many children and other young people idolize celebrities. That star power, along with the support of governments, corporations, the media, world organizations, and many other parts of the corrupted establishment, are dooming the future of human rights, even while that establishment pretends to be fighting for those rights.
It is a boundless tragedy.
