Former "American Idol" talent judge and current resident chief grump on "X-Factor" is exploiting children for ratings on the show. Nowhere was it more apparent than the breakdown of 12-year-old Rachel Crow on air, when she was eliminated from his contrived show that is completely rigged.

It's clear Crow sustained emotional trauma from the games being played on the show. She is not the only minor that experienced this all in the name of ratings (that show is lacking it). Dangling that carrot of fame before children's faces so Cowell can increase his unlawfully enriched  bank accounts.

The entertainment industry is not a good place for children. When industry people aren't ripping off and using children for their own financial enrichment, they are sexually exploiting them, as seen with the arrest of three prominent Hollywood executives over the past few weeks.
