I think to a certain degree the entertainment profession, and children's entertainment even moreso, tends to attract sociopaths and abusers.

For one thing, people who crave never-ending attention are more likely to seek that kind of job. For another, many successful entertainers get started in the industry very young, which means their parents got them into it, which means they probably weren't getting many good examples of loving moderation in their lives.

Certainly this is not true of all, or even most professional entertainers, even the ones whose parents let them start performing very young. But just like religion tends to attract the nutters, I think show business does too.
