00:00A video of former child star Taylor Chase has gone viral again, showing the now 36-year-old looking visibly
00:06unwell and disheveled living on the streets.
00:08Taylor rose to fame as a child actor, best known for playing Martin Corley in popular shows like Times and
00:14Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide.
00:16Well, now I'm on a Nickelodeon show. I'm a reoccurring character called Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide.
00:22And it's really fun. We've already finished filming the second season. You can trust Pro Scout. They did it for
00:28me.
00:29But his life has taken a devastating turn. Back in September, strangers donated money to help him after earlier videos
00:35surfaced.
00:36But just two months later, he remains homeless.
00:38His mother, Paula, has since spoken to the media, explaining that Taylor has struggled with serious mental health issues for
00:45years, possibly worsened by addiction.
00:47She says he has difficulty managing money and often loses his belongings, which is why giving him cash directly may
00:54actually do more harm than good.
00:56Fans across social media are expressing shock, sadness, and frustration, with many questioning how someone who once brought joy to
01:04millions could be left in this condition.
01:07For many, this story highlights deeper issues within the entertainment industry and the lack of long-term support for child
01:13performers.
01:14Sadly, Taylor's situation isn't rare.
01:16Many former child stars face similar struggles once fame fades.
01:20People are now hoping that increased attention and public awareness will help Taylor access professional support, get off the streets,
01:27and begin rebuilding his life with dignity.
