Kinda crazy to me that the MEN who were arrested for actual heinous crimes got honorable mentions yet Amanda and Lindsay are the top two spots?

[trinaq]

I'm glad that Lindsay is thriving now, with a husband and adorable baby boy, and is pursuing acting roles again.

I really feel for many of these former child stars. It can't be easy growing up in public scrunity as a vulnerable child or teenager, and it's inevitable that many of them grow into messed up adults as a result.

They are some other child stars who didn't get arrested like Melissa Joan Hart, Tia & Tamera Mowry, Michelle Trachtenberg, Raven-Symone, Joey Lawrence and others have remained active and having some on-screen appearances from time to time.

I think a lot of it has to do with what kind of support system you have. If your parents or guardians are only in for their money, it’s not going to go well for the child. It’s been proven more than once too, which is a shame.

I feel Drake Bell should’ve been on the actual list. Leave Lindsay alone lol she’s risen above it all

Bobby Driscoll, who played the role of Peter Pan in the Disney movie "Peter Pan, " was also arrested by police for drug possession.

It's sad when you see these young stars gain fame so rapidly. Rarely do they blossom into adult stars. Too much fame too soon. Thank you😊

Amazing video ms mojo of child stars that got arrested, fantastic job.

[EvaFull]

“Ned” from Ned’s Declassified was the one that surprised me the most. He talked about it on the podcast he does with the other two stars of the show.

Anakin was just reliving his pod racing days

[COMPFUNK]

Interesting how when people mention Orlando Brown’s career, no one ever mentions Family Matters.

[NCTStudio]

Drake Bell is something of an arrested child star himself

[bennymora]

LaBeouf stealing shoes at age 9 almost got me!😆🤪👎🏼👟

[hannahdelvecchio]

I’m surprised you didn’t mention that he was gonna check up prank stars

2:27 - Obstruction of Justice?
Please.
That's what cops think not answering questions is illegal when in fact it's someone exercising their 5th Amendment right not to self-incriminate.
I bet that charge4 was thrown out.
