Former child stars have a history of run-ins with the law regarding drugs and alcohol. Becoming famous so early in your life expose kids to a lot of things they normally wouldn’t see until much later. Added by the fact that when you are a star people are more likely to say yes no matter what. Also having lots of money gives you access to almost anything you want. Which all combined is a bad mix for children under a lot of pressure.
