Honestly, can you think of a single mentally balanced and normal child star? I can't imagine all child stars have terrible parents.

Look closely and more often than not the common denominator with these child stars is shitty parents.

Some child stars that turned out alright as adults: Jerry O'Connell, Claire Danes, Anna Paquin, Jodie Foster, Natalie Portman, Brooke Shields, Ron Howard.
