Hello,

I am doing a research assignment on child actors. If you could possibly answer these questions and email them to me it would be so much help. Please note: Your email address and name will be kept confidentail. The only other person who may see this information is my teacher. For more info please email at - jassy_jase@yahoo.com

Q1:
Do you believe its right for mothers to push their children, some as young as 2 into modeling and talent agency's?

Q2:
At what age do you belive children should be allowed to work in the arts industry?

Q3:
Do you think it's right for theatre companies to use children to rope in profit. Eg. Annie, Oliver, Sound of Music.

Q4:
Should we wipe out child performing all together in television/theatre. Allowing only children from 15 onwards to enter this field?

Q5:
In your own opinion, what is a normal childhood?


Thank you for your time,

Jason Triggs.

Interesting use of language here Jason. I'm guessing this is not a totally unbaised report?
