Seems the parents are pimping out the kids for the almighty dollar.
Exactly. My family had a small biz that did some work out in Hollywood in the 50’s. One time, when Gparents were there, a well-known actress took a liking to my mom and set up a screen test for her. Gmother said NO WAY. Even back then she knew the score. Mom was mad at the time, but understood in later years. I’m glad, too! I would’ve HATED to have grown up in that atmosphere.
