#i had to live in a home in which children were beaten senselessly nearly every single day for years. even when i was in high school

at the end of the fourth episode on quiet on set, it releases a statement by dan schneider who said, "everything that happened on the shows i ran was carefully scrutinized by dozens of involved adults. all stories, dialogue, costumes and makeup were fully approved by network executives on two coasts, etc, etc." i guess he put that statement out to try and spin this narrative so that it doesn't sound so absolutely horrific, but all it does is highlight the fact that damn near every single adult knew. they knew and did nothing. dan was able to take advantage of these defenseless children and allow other predators to prey on them and not a single adult raised hell about it. he was able to do this for years, completely unscathed, and nickelodeon offered him a huge amount of money in order to drop him from the network. the sadness and rage i feel CANNOT be put into words.

#maybe this sounds a little dramatic but i genuinely don't care. not to trauma dump BUT #i had to live in a home in which children were beaten senselessly nearly every single day for years. even when i was in high school #i was too young to do anything. i was terrified every day and all the adults in my life just sat back and let it happen #so watching things like this just makes me so mad #quiet on set
