    I don’t understand why it’s not the other was around and the parents only get access to a certain percentage of the income. They’re profiting of another persons work.

      The idea is one parent is at the movie set with the child actor. That parent is no longer working a job with a salary. This the parent gets paid from the kid’s salary to replace the money they could be earning at a normal job.

      You don’t want to just leave your kid at a movie/tv set.

      We’d have to change a few laws in this country so that minors can do things like open a bank account and sign employment contracts without their parents.
