	Recently my wife and I were approached by a child talent
agency about signing up our daughter for T.V. ads, print and
soforth. With all the scams going on, is any agency legitimate.
	Some of the promises they made and didn't make:

	- not every child is accepted by the agency
        - agency will provide pictures for a small fee
	- they come right out front and tell you it's not a
          guarenteed employment for your child(only 2-3% are chosen) 
	- they will set up payment plans if needed
	- they provide pictures and print for major T.V. and print
          ads such as Parents, American Baby, Gerber, Pampers, etc....

What can I count on and who can I trust? I work with one of the
parents that decided to do this, and their child has appeared in
print and in T.V. 
	An individual at work told me that channel 5 in Chicago had
a special yesterday about these agencies, and made the same promises
that I am stating.

 HAS ANYONE HAD EXPERIENCES WITH A CHILDRENS AGENCY???HAS ANYONE
SEEN THE CHANNEL 5 REPORT STATING WHICH COMPANIES ARE BOGUS???

NEED INFO ASAP!!!!!!
