Michael Jackson case?

[momsnet]

ok.. had to start a thread in here with something that is in the news all the time....

thoughts? are you following it? do you care?

[momsnet]

c'mon.... someone thinks something about this

I personally think it is very interesting how people are on all these shows getting all heated up on both sides and being "sure" what happened... especially so many "lay" people and fans dead set in "he is innocent" none of us were there... so noone REALLY knows except for those involved and any proof proving or defending....

i just hope that the real truth comes out as this is such a serious accusation

[wboucher]

It's so scarey not knowing if someone is innocent or guilty and it's too bad and very sad that it all comes down to money. Money is the REAL evil in this case. You can't turn the channel and not see something on the case. Look at the OJ Simpson case, they had all the proof and he got off scott free. So were is the true justice.

It is sad and I think Michael needs help but so do any families that would be sending their children to visit him. I hope the real truth surfaces. As someone said, some people will do anything for money. How sad.

I couldn't have said it better myself. I also hope the real truth comes out.

Well who knows if he did do it. But I do think he does need help his behaviors are not what I would call normal for a grown man. The parents need help as well who in their right mind knowingly sends their children into such situations. He had been accused of this previously. Now I know I would never allow my child to be alone with someone who had been accused of such things. For the simple reason I could never be totally sure it wasnt true. Also I think its a shame this has turned into a media circus and the seriousness of the crime he is accused of is being lost in all the media hype. Instead of bringing sexual abuse to the forefront and making people more aware that this is a huge problem it's all about MJ the star. Just my opinion.

I agree with you all to an extent. Just because someone is accused does not make them guilty. Here is an example of something that happened 6 years ago to someone I know. Me and a friend of mine were babysitting my kids, her kids and her sisters kids. We were all in the house together the whole time. The kids were taking turns playing video games. One of the girls who was about 8 at the time was getting in trouble the whole time. Fighting with the other kids and not minding. So when her mother picked her up we told her what had gone on. Well she took her daughter home and punished her and in the process of being punished she starts crying telling her mom that one of the boys had started touching her down their. Me and my friend were in the kitchen which was right next to the living room with no walls blocking it and it did not happen, all the other kids also said she was lieing. But the point is, just because someone makes a accusation does not mean the person is guilty or for that matter has done anything wrong to be subjected to redicule or such.

I have no idea whether MJ is guilty or not. Yes, I agree he is different and yes I believe this is about money and not whether he is guilty or not. I think of MJ as a child who has never grown up, just like Peter Pan. In society today, that alone makes him guilty. I'm a overprotective mother. I would never allow my children when they were little to spend the night at someones house who did not have children my childrens ages. For the obvious reasons, kids like to play with other kids. And the second being he is a stranger. So if he does end up being quilty, I think the parents should also be brought up on charges of neglect, child endangerment, child pros***ution, just too name a few. For that matter even if he is found innocent, I still feel the parents should be charged, because they only allowed out of greed!

I don't know what occurred. I just know it is awfully funny how this young boy appeared with MJ on a documentary,one day, and accusing MJ the next.
It ts also funny that his mother conned quite a few people previous to this case.

I am not God, so the judgement is not in my hands. I do agree that it has to do with money and power. I also agree that all parties involved need some serious help.
