Many child stars develop addictions. How do they get the drugs and alcohol in the first place? If their parents aren't celebrities out partying and their parents are pushing their child to be successful, why aren't they making sure their child doesn't get drugs and alcohol?

It's a combination of parental negligence and publicity. Parents of child stars are often caught up in the limelight with their children and they start to treat their children like they are their equals. The kids are their meal ticket to money, power and fame and some stage parents lose sight of what their role and often are pushing them to do adult things without any limits.
On the flip side, you have publicity hounds (agents, club owners, etc.) that will stop at nothing to make a their cut off child actors by offering alcohol, drugs and getting them into the right clubs and parties. And, young stars are probably the most vunerable to giving in and making poor decisions.
Years ago, I read in Rolling Stone how Jack Osbourne was allowed in to LA's most famous clubs and bars to scout bands for his dad's "Oz Fest" and he was 14! In the real world, this would be wrong on many levels. But, in Hollywood, he was just Ozzy Osbourne's kid, Ozzy and Sharon were condoning it and somebody was making money. Go figure!

You make a pretty good point. Why aren't the parents making sure their child doesn't get drugs and alcohol. The reason is the parents are so hell bent and so focus on their child success that they fail to look at what is really going on behind to scenes of their child lives. But then again these children are rich and have lots of money, they are the ones bringing the bread home to the parents. I they are working all types of hours and never really much sleep. I think some of the child stars use their money to their own advantage so that they can do whatever they want when they want. It could be the adults they are around in showbiz that is supplying them with the drugs and alcohol. The people they work around may not really care about their well-being and they can just be doing drugs and drinking right along with the child. It happens.

I'm no trained, however mostly an trained is not wanted. I'm in my mid 20s, simply obtained out of tuition and had two older brothers who threw the largest events on the town whilst I used to be more youthful. I've certainly not been a partier. Teens -heck tweens in this day and age (check out age eleven or 12) will move to events whilst a) they move to a peers' condominium and you do not name forward to grasp if the mother and father shall be there (and they don't seem to be) b) you move on holiday and go away your "accountable" 17yr ancient daughter house on my own b/c she has paintings. Btw, whilst you're long past if any person drowns for your pool IT IS YOUR FAULT c) the social gathering youngsters are mainly those who care soooooo a lot approximately being standard (they're additionally those to interact in very early intercourse) The great factor to do a) speak for your youngsters whilst they're younger approximately intercourse and medications. Tell them in vibrant element what occurs whilst you overdose (correctly, allow their healthcare professional inform them) b) NEVER allow the reverse intercourse of their room on my own and c) name forward so you recognize an grownup shall be there. It's an hassle in every single place the position however till rural and suburb cities placed extra matters in for young adults those binge events will preserve. They want youngster facilities in which the youngsters can come after institution to cool, dances at the wknds, and so on.

Not everyone is a responsible parent. And being a child star, I'm sure there are folks who are willing to please the children and give them what they want. If it's drugs and alcohol they want, that's what they'll get!

Because no one will say no to them. And they are exposed to very adult situations very early in life.
I dont' know why any parent would encourage or push this life on a young child. It's a shame.

because the parents don't really give a dam as long as their kid is still a commodity and lining their greedy pockets and unfortunately you can't watch a kid 24/7 otherwise your too over protective and ruining their image...mind you don't underestimate the kids either some can be smart manipulative little cretins if forced to grow up too quick
