Not my Michael!

I think the saddest part of all is the children who are left without their father. But hopefully the mom will take them back and not let MJ's dad have them. She did not give up her rights and hopefully will get them.

Not me. Nope not at all. Molesters go after kids with questionable parents because they can be discredited easily. No matter what scum that boys mother was it doesn't change what may have happened to him. Not guilty doesn't mean innocent. Any grown man who invites young boys in his bed has got a screw or two loose. Any grown man with a brain knows that isn't right on any level and will only get him in trouble.

MJ changed so much from the Off The Wall years he's wasn't even that person anymore.

Yes but I think it would be better than the grandfather getting any of them.

Who is Blanket's mom anyway?

I, personally, think he probably *did* molest those children. We seem to have this phenomenon in this world where it is not accepted to speak ill of the dead, but this man had very inappropriate relationships (at a minimum) with young children.

I don't judge Michael for all the surgeries or any of the other odd behavior. He seemed to be a very lost soul and his childhood obviously profoundly affected the path of his life. We cannot imagine what living the life he did does to a person because it was so out of the ordinary. He was in the spotlight like few others ever have been from the time he was barely past toddler age.

All that said, I think all of the comments I am seeing on the news from fans and celebrities that they don't believe the charges against him were true is very sad. Think of the feelings of those poor children. The kids in question fit the profile of the type of children that molesters do go after. Also, child molesters often put themselves in positions of power/trust in which they have access to kids (priests, teachers, pop stars with private amusement parks, etc...).

I really think he probably did molest those kids. None of his other accomplishments should override this fact and make it somehow acceptable. I think the one thing that made me really feel like he did it was the interview he did with that little boy that was like 12 years old. Michael himself talked about sharing his bed with little boys and how nothing was more loving and caring. These were YOUNG children, not a boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse.

I mean really, think about it. Even if he had the mind of a child (which is not any sort of excuse for his behavior anyway), can you imagine even a child talking that way about sharing the bed with another child? It was just plain creepy. If he was not a famous pop star, he would have been locked up and had the key thrown away.

I've had these packed under a spare bed for yeeeeears. Forgot I had them. Seem to be going for some good money right now.

But at the same time, I want to keep them.
