Can anyone answer this? Because Timothy admitted to doing just that.

The answer is it’s not ok.

Busfield is horrible. But I do think it is wrong to have children in acting or modeling. You are inviting potential pedophiles into your child’s life while also destroying his/her childhood.

It’s funny - all the Busfield defenders are now oddly quiet. Have they suddenly realized tickling kids on set is gross, weird and inappropriate?

I mean, it probably is, in that context, but "gross, weird, and inappropriate" isn't SA.

Given concerns over abuse, and concerns over potentially false claims of abuse, it seems like a very bad idea. But I wouldn't infer guilt from it.

Perhaps I have an unusual view on ticking. My son gets tickles from his therapist- that was ultimately the best reward we could find to use with behavioral therapy. Is that "gross, weird, and appropriate"?

I don't think tickles are gross, weird and inappropriate. Presumably a parent was supervising and unconcerned at that time as well.

Wait, kids aren’t allowed to be tickled anymore?

Certainly not by their boss/non family members.

A 10-11 year old is a 5th grader.

Sorry - who, exactly, has defended this guy? You keep saying that and you sound idiotic. Several of us have simply said we’re waiting for all the facts to be confirmed before making a judgement call. Too bad there are still vultures like you who insist all men all guilty from the get go.

It’s sounding very likely that he did indeed do something, especially with his prior history, but as another poster said, this doesn’t fit with his previous SA accusations. And there are other issues at play, namely what the mother allegedly said about getting revenge. So the normal people here will wait on confirmation of all the charges.

I’ve watched enough body language analysis videos and his is screaming guilty.

A man giving unwanted tickles and kisses to uncomfortable looking children… this reminds me of someone. Who could it possibly be? Think think think.

The people who said the timeline is fishy and the parents wanted revenge are idiotic. I believe children.

Did you talk to the children?

Exactly. Tickle your own kids, nobody else's. Same with a butt pat. Only okay on your own child. And after a certain age your own child will ask you to stop it.

+1 it’s mind boggling how people are defending this creep.

You just have to read the affidavit to get it. He admitted to tickling the kids on set to get them ready for acting. He bought them gifts off set. Not normal behavior and definitely grooming.
