I'm watching gangs of new York. And it just got me thinking how child actors are exposed to horrific violence on set of movies...I wonder how is that allowed. I am sure they are protected in some ways but I'm not sure they can be fully protected?
Anyone know a bit about it?

Scenes are often shot and cut in a way to ensure child actors are not on set for very frightening parts.
Film sets are also full of people, a very different atmosphere to what you see in the film.

I also wonder about babies in argument scenes with people screaming at each other

That's true as well. I wonder how it's allowed.

I remember thinking this when I watched the Exorcist back in the 90s. I don’t know the answer
