Do you think your kid has what it takes to be a movie star?

Before you sign a contract, you may want to know as much as you can before you sign on the dotted line and fork over the cash.

Danielle Davenport said she thought Kids.com would be a good experience for her 5-month-old Owen -- a chance to make some money to put into a savings account.

Davenport said it was the initial letter from a management firm that piqued her interest.

"Saying that (Owen) had recently been brought to their attention, just a brief letter, describing themselves as a talent/modeling agency. I was curious, so I called the number," Davenport said.

Davenport said Kids.com made a big deal over her son when she came into the office.

"Of course, they really dwelled on him -- how gorgeous he is, how he has the real all-American boy look," Davenport said.

After spending $595 for five-year agreement with the company, Davenport said she felt misled. The agreement said it would update her child's photos semiannually, and that they would put Owen on a searchable database that provides a databank for modeling agencies and casting directors.

Kids.com upheld the contract, but Davenport said that after months of waiting, with no calls, she feels the company played with her emotions.

"I would like a refund back. If that's not possible, I know I signed an agreement with them, and it was my fault for not looking more into it," Davenport said.

"Nothing coming into the business should cost you $600. That's way too much money to be spending to start a child in the business. Taking on a camera class for kids who are interested in doing commercials is not a bad investment, but that should cost maybe half that," said Mike Lemon, a casting director.

Lemon said there are some red flags to look for when considering a casting company. You should not go with a company that promises immediate work. Also, you should work with agents and managers that make money when they book the work. If you pay up front, often companies won't pursue work for kids because they are making money when the kids walk in the door.

Again, Davenport said that she understood the agreement and Kids.com did adhere to the agreement. So, before you sign up your kids, do some research, check out the company and get referrals.
