A TikTok video about Amanda Bynes brought me here. I now know child actors don’t just go crazy and can’t handle fame; they were likely abused and silenced.

You're right, and I can think of quite a few, mostly young Actors & Rock Musicians, but also some female Rock Singers & Musicians, who went from happily successful to angry and rebellious within just a few years of being discovered, and in their rise to fame. Some Rock celebrities and Actors seem to accept the dark side of Hollywood\fame and fall in easily with it's immorality for a time, but a few older Rock celebrities seem to carry heavy secrets with them. But GOD loves still loves, even those who seem to have turned away from HIM, and HE hears the prayers of HIS people, so we must pray for them and for children here and around the World who have been, or could be victims of pedophile predators who know exactly what they're doing, but do not stop. Pray in the Name of Jesus that Our Father will place heavy conviction, and the fear of GOD, upon the minds and hearts of those predators, and to set a hedge of protection around the children, and send HIS Angels to minister healing to them. And we must also pray for the lost in Hollywood & similar Industries around the World, who were broken and seduced into wrong lifestyles, substance abuse, wrong ideologies & beliefs etc., that GOD will break the bondage that they have been put in, and open their eyes to see and hear the truth again so they can choose to know HIM and accept HIS gift of forgiveness and Redemption in HIS Son Yeshua HaMashiach, Jesus Christ. Evil things are manifesting much more quickly than ever before, we have entered into those days which we were warned of, and written of so clearly as in Scriptures like 2Timothy 3. Sorry for the long post.... HIS peace to you.

This video made me emotional for a few reasons, but the biggest one is, my own son. I wanted him to act when he was a baby, so I put him in commercials and had an agent for him. He auditioned for a major part with a huge director, but he didn’t get the part. It was between him and another baby, but they chose the other child. For the longest, I was very upset with God, and I didn’t understand why He had closed that door. Now, 4 years later, I see this video. I now have such a peace about why God closed that door. My son was diagnosed autistic two years ago; I can’t imagine him going through things that could’ve damaged him... thank you for speaking out about this!

I found you via Anthony Stine of Return to Tradition. I remembered you in the role of Alfalfa Switzer in the 1990s film, "The Little Rascals"; you fit perfectly in the role of the romantic protagonist of the story. Time has a way of changing us, and the path you took from child star to an adult trying to love God through a radically Catholic life is probably something many of us can relate to in some way, even if we didn't have the exact same experiences. It takes incredible courage to open up about past abuse and even your own sins and failings. May God bless you, Bug, and even if we never meet in this life I pray--God willing--we'll both make it to Heaven to enjoy eternal happiness with Our Lord, His Mother, all the Angels, and the entire Communion of Saints.

Memories from childhood sexual abuse can become so convoluted in a victim's mind during the passage of time. Suppressing memories is a protective mechanism that helps buffer pain and the lack of control one experiences from abuse. Compartmentalizing and packing horrors away, that could otherwise render one paralyzed from living life, is a survival technique and though the faces of perpetrators may never completely come back into focus their negative imprint forever remains. Courageous revealing of your Truth while respecting the potential limitations of your memory. Praying for you as you continue on this journey towards complete healing. The power that comes from recognizing God never abandoned you, even in your darkest days, is palpable. Be well....

It is so good hearing him take control of the narrative. The amount of child abuse is disturbing - the movie industry, the church, politics, etc. We're failing to adequately prevent it and hold the abusers accountable.

I had no idea, I'm currently watching the movie little rascals on Netflix, and decided to Google where are they now, and I ended up here. I'm so sorry for what you have been through! I can't believe you were able to separate at 9 years old! My heart goes out to you! I pray you have found peace and I know you are an amazing father and husband! You are such a precious soul! From a 41yo in South Carolina!

Hello Bug I also have come here from your interview. I had a conversion of heart which brought me back to my faith. This last year has been immensely challenging and I have had relapse into bad habits which have added to discouragement. But it’s encouraging to hear your story.

As an abuse victim myself a lot of my healing came when I came to recognize that perpetrators of abuse were not born that way. Perpetrators were once abused and have not done the hard work of healing from that abuse. Somehow, God showed me my own healing by handing over my abuser to God's judgement. I'm so grateful that the pattern was broken in my own life.

I’m so sorry this happened to you. One of my earliest memories is going to see ‘The Little Rascals’ for my 5th birthday. I’m 31 now. You really stood out in that film, and it’s a film I continued to revisit throughout childhood, and adulthood. I also remember loving ‘The Big Green’, and ‘The Stupids’. It breaks my heart that the same thing could have been happening on those films too. I think I can gather from what you said about Disney and the cast member of ‘The Little Rascals’ who experienced the same thing, and didn’t attend the reunion. I know one person who played G.G in a popular Disney show. So, so, so sad. Particularly when you know how the character they played was quite anxious in general. All I can say for now - you do whatever make you happy, content, healthy, and living your best life. You deserve all the happiness in the world. Stay strong xxxxxx

I was sexually abused as a child as well. The emotional scars that are left behind bleed into every aspect of your life, especially your relationships. I am so sorry you have also been through this, but I am so glad you're talking about it. Keep telling people about your experience. It may help someone else reach out for help. So many people didn't believe Corey Feldman when he told them what happened to him, but I never doubted his sincerity. When you have gone through something that horrible, your heart breaks for others that also have gone through that, It's something that never leaves you. I never understood others saying they were abused and that is why they abused others. I could NEVER do that to anyone. I pray that you find the peace and happiness as I have.

Bug, as traditional Catholic husband and father, I admire the courage with which you are pursuing Our Lord and our faith. Our family moved to Texas to come to a FSSP parish (Mater Dei). We may know some of the same folks. I enjoyed all of your insights in your interview with Voris. Our families have similar aspirations and I’d enjoy learn more of your approaches to a family rule and the interior life. God bless you and your family!

As a 24 year old, having grown up within the Catholic church I sometimes find it difficult to go against my friends or speak up but testimonies like these remind me to always turn to God and voice my faith. Thank you.

I’m 24 and an actress and grew up watching The Little Rascals religiously. I started my own “She Woman Man Haters Club” inspired by the film lol (not a Nazi feminist these days don’t worry). Alfalfa was by far my favorite Rascal who taught me so much among all the Rascals. I still feel like I’m in the Gang with you all. And I’m devastated that this happened to you and you weren’t protected. I want a son myself one day and I would do anything to protect him. You are such a strong, bright brilliant light and it’s amazing to see you grow and raise your family and move on from the toxicity and find God and family. I still hear your voice singing You are so beautiful to meeee. You brought so much happiness despite what you’ve been through, which shows your strength and wisdom. You are such an inspiration and light. ❤❤❤❤

I just finished watching "The Little Rascals" (I've watched it a lot of times but the last time I did was years ago so I decided to watch it again this year) and then looked you up on Instagram to see how you're doing now. I saw your post about this video and clicked the link on your bio. You talking for almost an hour was not a waste of time for me. I am glad you were able to strongly open up about this even if it is still a struggle when you talk about it considering that bad memories in the past will surely enter your mind as you dive deeper into your life's story. You are heard and you serve as an inspiration for simply sharing your experience. I am a fan of Macaulay Culkin because of "Home Alone" and when the media taunted him of becoming a drug abuser, I didn't judge him like the others. Because there are just moments in your life that can make you lose hope and become vulnerable. Embracing that vulnerability is just being human. He was lost, just like you. And as a fan, I am so happy that both of you are sober now and that your mental health is currently okay. Depression can make people do things or get addicted to stuff. People who are not open-minded can be quickly judgmental to those victims of the world's imperfections. :( I hope that telling the truth here would finally set you free from the dark past you were forced into. Wounds heal and I wish yours would, someday. :) Thank you, Mr. Bug Hall. ❤️ (Sorry for the long post, I don't know if you'll even read the whole comment but I hope you and your family are safe in this pandemic.)

As a fellow Catholic of narrow persuasion, who agrees 💯 % that it’s harder to be a faithful Catholic than anything else, I commend you for your bravery in speaking out. “God’s not asking us to be saints in some abstract future.” 😭😭😭 Yes. This strengthens me in my journey. I had the privilege of some brief dialogue with your lovely wife on Instagram years ago when we were both expecting our first babies and because of that, your family has been in my heart. We stand with you in prayer on your journey and thank God for how He is using you. We’d love to hear more about the medieval morality you speak to (assuming you’re speaking to the hight of Christendom). Any books or articles you can refer us to? Also- we are from Tulsa and love the dear priest to whom you refer. Thanks be to God for him. And last, I am so deeply sorry for the pain you underwent as a child. Pedophilia is the most heinous crime. OPERATION UNDERGROUND RAILROAD is a great organization to get involved with; they do amazing work to end human trafficking. Fight the good fight brother.

I came here after watching your interview on a different Christian/catholic youtube channel. I really think youd be surprised how much you have to offer with these types of videos. (In the sense that itd almost be doing a service talking to people as a brother in christ in this type of setting) More than ever people need to hear about the truth and learn how to imply that in whole in the way we live. You speak well and are interesting to listen to. I can speak for many when I say you should do more videos similar to this talking about faith and ways we can live it out in today's age. Sidenote*the moment you talked about your wife and started smiling was so precious. I can just see the love of the lord in you brother. God bless yall
