why are people so stupid? A pedophile has numerous victims over years (once they start, they can't stop)
there has only been 2 claims out of hundreds of children Michael got to know over the span of like 30 years
it is obvious that they were after $$

it is sad that it only takes 2 people to destroy the career of a musical genius.

Also, if you are a citizen witnessing abusive or neglectful treatment of a child…try to ascertain the child/perpetrators names if possible and any other identifying info (licence plates, home address, school/teacher's name) . This will be needed by the social worker. And again you will remain anonymous.

Stepping in your sandals, I understand your rational about not reporting. But as a social worker I'd like to clear some things up and hopefully people will learn from this.
If you have reasonable suspicion abuse or neglect (say, by the kids parents!), you can make an ANONYMOUS call to the DCFS (in every phone book under child abuse hotline). You talk to a social worker and it's in their discretion whether what you relay constitutes abuse & if they will investigate it…you'll never be contacted again. Mandated reporters, like therapists, can not remain anonymous.
You're right, it's not okay for a 30-some year old man to be locking himself in a bathroom (on repeated occasions?) with a 13 yr old boy…unless say, it's a custodian of the child (and unless the boy is severely disabled , that in itself is inappropriate). It would have been best to have a third party initiate the investigation, instead of the creepy and apparently neglectful parents. Given the fact that they accepted a monetary settlement, the possibility of Jackson molesting the child can always be held in question.
(And yeah, innocent until proven guilty…)

Thanks for the post

I doubt it. He'd already written that Lex Luthor book years earlier, for one thing!

I believe you are either lying or wrong, why – well so many people have always stood by him including many many stars – if your allegations were true then they would have run a mile. He was naive and foolish but if he really wanted to do what you suggest, would a public comic store be the best location? you are a sad fraud.
