I began \u2018Growing Pains\u2019 at 14-years-old. And I was suspicious that that stuff was going on behind the curtains even when I was working on \u2018Growing Pains.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cAnd there were several young boys like us [Cameron and Leonardo DiCaprio] that he [Peck] interacted with on a regular basis,\u201d Cameron said. \u201cSo, it\u2019s shocking. It\u2019s sickening.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In one of the episodes of the shocking documentary \u2014 which alleges abuse and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/you-gotta-wear-heels-staffers-describe-the-cuomo-way-of-working-for-nys-governor\/\" title=\"\u2018You Gotta Wear Heels\u2019: Staffers Describe \u2018The Cuomo Way\u2019 Of Working For NY\u2019s Governor\">toxic work environment<\/a> behind the scenes at Nickelodeon \u2014 a clip played from \u201cGrowing Pains\u201d showing a young DiCaprio with Peck constantly rubbing the young star\u2019s arms and touching him. Cameron said that\u2019s exactly how he recalled Peck behaving and just remembered \u201cthat\u2019s the kind of thing you would see and make you pause and go \u2018there\u2019s a little flag on the field,\u2019 but not enough to prove something worse.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_720367\" style=\"width: 876px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-720367\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">ABC Photo Archives\/Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Hollywood star shared that at the same time he worked on \u201cGrowing Pains\u201d (1985 \u2013 1992) with Peck, the executive producer and showrunner was Steven Marshall. In 2010, Marshall was arrested and convicted for possession and distribution of child pornography, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2010\/03\/16\/growing-pains-producer-sentenced-for-child-porn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">New York Post<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  reported.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He served 7\u00bd years in federal prison after he was <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arkansasonline.com\/news\/2010\/mar\/17\/child-porn-gets-ex-tv-exec-prison-20100317\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">arrested<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  by an undercover federal agent who was posing as a pedophile. In Marshall\u2019s chats with the agent, the former TV producer would <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arkansasonline.com\/news\/2010\/mar\/17\/child-porn-gets-ex-tv-exec-prison-20100317\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">brag<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  about \u201cchild abduction, bondage, rapes and murders,\u201d the outlet noted. It came out later in court that the exec. producer never actually had \u201cphysical contact\u201d with any of the kids he bragged about doing vile things to, Cameron noted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThank God I got out of there unscathed in the 1980s,\u201d Cameron said. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThose people who did this stuff to these kids are the same kind of people in the industry today. Still making twisted, sick, perverted material that\u2019s hurting children today. And they need to be completely rooted out and replaced.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cBut it\u2019s too late,\u201d Cameron continued. \u201cThese children, like Drake Bell \u2026 they have scars that they will carry with them permanently throughout their life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cameron also mentioned he recently spoke with former producers and writers of the show about working with Peck and Marshall, recalling their behavior on set.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cAnd the consensus was these individuals were charming, they ingratiated themselves into their victims\u2019 lives and were generally likable people when they were putting the \u2018nice guy\u2019 face on,\u201d Cameron said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cBut there was \u2026 always something smarmy about them,\u201d he added. \u201cYou know it was like your \u2018Spidey-senses\u2019 told you something\u2019s not right. They were handsy and physical in a smarmy kind of way. But not so overt that you could totally detect what was happening.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cameron said he \u201cabsolutely\u201d credited his parents with keeping him safe in the predatory environment, adding, \u201cMy mom was on the set every day when I was a minor on \u2018Growing Pains.\u2019\u201d He also credited his former \u201ccast and crew\u201d who served as additional sets of \u201cguardians.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_720403\" style=\"width: 394px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-720403\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Paul Morigi\/Getty Images for LIFEMARK Movie<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When asked if he thinks Hollywood protects the predator instead of the survivor, the longtime actor said what we are seeing now \u201c \u2026 is an industry that tries to indemnify, exonerate the very pedophiles that we say we want to get rid of, because they are the pedophiles.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When asked about the letters of support written in defense of Peck by his former on-screen parents, Alan Thicke and Joanna Kerns, Cameron noted, \u201cNobody wants to believe that the fun, charming, dialogue coach who\u2019s ingratiated himself into the lives of others \u2014 almost to the point of being a trusted family friend \u2014 would do something so wicked and evil.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The letters were used by Peck\u2019s attorneys before he was convicted of sexually assaulting a minor. Kearns has since walked back her letter of support. Thicke, however, passed away in 2016.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Following the documentary\u2019s release, former child star Bell came forward and said he was the John Doe from a sexual abuse case from 2004 involving former Nickelodeon dialogue coach Peck. Peck pleaded no contest to the charges, was sentenced to 16 months in prison, and ordered to register as a sex offender, as The Daily Wire previously <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/former-nickelodeon-star-drake-bell-details-alleged-sexual-abuse-by-dialogue-coach-it-was-extensive-and-brutal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">reported<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Docuseries contributors also spoke frequently about former Nickelodeon producer Dan Schneider, who they said perpetrated abuse by acting in a controlling manner and making sexually suggestive jokes, some of which were used in children\u2019s programming. They also alleged that Schneider was filmed in a hot tub with then-16-year-old actress Amanda Bynes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI definitely owe some people a pretty strong apology,\u201d Schneider said in a statement following the release of \u201cQuiet on Set.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_720375\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-720375\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sony Pictures Television\/Maxine Productions.

But now it\u2019s wide open. They\u2019ve gotten themselves intoxicated with their own perversion and they are so drunk on it that they don\u2019t even know what\u2019s wrong.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cameron said he \u201cone hundred percent\u201d thinks the lack of faith in Hollywood led to the darkness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe problem is when you take God out of Hollywood or politics they become corrupted.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is those experiences the actor went through and the things he\u2019s learned since about the people he worked with that he said motivates him to be part of the solution, to create a safe working environment for kids and children\u2019s programming like he had when he was growing up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That\u2019s why I\u2019m working with Brave Americans saying \u2018we\u2019re not waiting for Hollywood to get it right,\u2019\u201d the \u201cFireproof\u201d actor said. \u201cWe need to make this stuff ourselves.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cGod has exposed them,\u201d he added. \u201cHe\u2019s drug the evil out into the middle of the street in broad daylight and this is the time for brave Americans to take charge of their children\u2019s entertainment and their education and start doing something about it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The longtime actor said he wants this to \u201c\u2026 be a wakeup call, an incredible opportunity for parents and grandparents \u2026 to be the executive producer of our children\u2019s future.
