According to lawyer Gloria Allred, "Every state does regulate to protect the health, the safety and welfare of little child performers [...] And these little ones are only eight years old and five years old, they can't protect themselves, so the state has to be sure that they are safe in their workplace."
Lawyer Gloria Allred emphasizes that every state has laws and regulations to protect the health, safety, and welfare of young child performers, who are vulnerable and cannot take care of themselves.
