It doesn't matter if they are an actor... they are kids first. Give them the space they need in order to grow without feeling like they owe
@SophieT
Anyone anything for living their childhood dreams
@SophieT
Oh and ps. Imagine.. you, a parent, walking with your 13 year old son/daughter and seeing a fully grown adult pointing their camera phone ..
@SophieT
.. at your kid. You would do anything you could to delete that persons photograph, and remove your child from that situation as soon as...
@SophieT
.. you could. It doesn't matter if that child happens to be an actor and consented to a professional film crew capturing their moves when..
@SophieT
.. in character.. That does NOT mean that this child consented to being followed around with a camera in their face. I don't care if it
@SophieT
“Comes with the job”. It doesn't.
@SophieT
And how dare you shun and demean that child when they don't pose for an adult strangers photograph or walk over and talk to them when they..
@SophieT
.. take that NOT CONSENTED FOR photo . Doesn't that go against everything we teach our children anyway? Pshhhh. Some people man.

'Stranger Things 2' Scene-Stealer Priah Ferguson Is Down for Erica Sinclair Spinoff -- And Has Some Ideas for It, Too
View StoryTurner's tweets come on the heels of "Stranger Things" Season 1 breakout Shannon Purser, who played fan-favorite character Barb, calling out someone who tweeted that her co-star Finn Wolfhard, who plays Mike on the Netflix hit, was "heartless" for not stopping for a photo with fans.
"Okay, no," Purser wrote. "No actor is under any obligation to stop for anyone. Finn is an incredibly kind human. But he's human and he needs breaks too."

I experience this on a significantly smaller scale, obviously, but I've had people waiting for me in hotel lobbies, at my airport gate, etc.
@shannonpurser
And I'm an adult. I can't imagine being inundated with all this attention at his age. It's intimidating.
@shannonpurser
So, from one big sister to the world, don't you DARE make young actors feel guilty or indebted to you because they couldn't say hi.
@shannonpurser
They give you their art. They love their fans. Don't take advantage of that. And if you can't handle them needing space, stay away.
