Michael Jackson

[2scoops0406]

I bet he's glad you lot are not forming part of the jury. Now I'm not saying he's innocent or guilty, 'cos probably like the rest of you I haven't heard all the evidence. What chance has he got of a fair trial, being weird should not be an immediate presumption of guilt. Until you know all the facts you should try to put aside all prejudices, along with the fact he paid 20m to Jody Chandler in an out of court settlement !!

But it's not the fact that he's a little odd which has led to these allegations, it's much more directed than that.

By his own admission, in his own words, he has enjoyed spending the night with children in his bed. That's not just "weird", it's WRONG.

I don't think he's "evil" or acted in malice, but nonetheless needs to be brought to account and clearly told that his behaviour is not right. An appropriate punishment will hopefully stop him doing it again.

That depends on what you are really saying or alluding to. Explicitly and I mean explicitly from what have you said (not implied) what law has been broken? I admit it is damned weird, and not some that I'd ever even think about (I don't even like having my own kids in my bed!!) but unless someone can enlighten me, I can't think of a law that specifically excludes an adult sharing a bed with a child, although I'm more than happy to be corrected on this matter.

I think ninebob is dead right and I would blame the sycophantic,s that live off him and his parents are not without guilt although I do think that he thinks he's above the law.
I see where Eddie M is coming from but Children have to be protected first.

 

[AdamW]

theyve done it in such a way so as he cant pay out this time

You're right, I remember reading this. Didn't the parents of the latest kid say "No way are we taking any money, he can rot for his crimes"? And I think some charge was brought against him that means he can't buy anyone off.

I for one am very interested to see what he will look like after 6 months in prision, when his perm has grown out and his skin has fully regenerated (no bleached skin).

 

[AdamW]

I don't think it was so much the bed-sharing that he is being charged for, weren't there allegations that he likes to get a bit touchy-feely at his sleep-overs?

Hence why the last time round the kid had to describe MJ's kiddy-diddler to the court.

........I for one am very interested to see what he will look like after 6 months in prision, ...... and his skin has fully regenerated (no bleached skin).

But then, depends how long the old bonce spends down the loo !!

Obviously that is your choice but what worries me with attitudes these days is that an innocent act of a parent cuddling their children in bed could be construed as anything else but parental love for their child, that's when it becomes worrying, the fact that a parent might shy away from showing their true love because they are frightened of "what the neighbours might say".
I'm sure a lot of parents feel awkward or guilty these days because of the hysteria that the media has whipped up.

 

[2scoops0406]

Nope, nothing to do with that, they just kick me in the back and keep me awake...... little angels.

 

[kendor]

No Ed I wasn't and wouldn't imply otherwise but used your comment to elaborate on in that there are concerned parents out there who may not now feel comfortable about showing affection in that way because of a negative attitude to that sort of behaviour.

 

[masona]

I know what you're saying kendor, I do feel like that sometime, sadly you can't win and yet the children need the affection to feel wanted.

I also think it's wrong and feel very uncomfortable when a young child is naked on the beach and often wondered how many preverts are watching. Why do the parents do it, can't be healthy can it?

Going back to Michael Jackson, I would never let any of my child with anybody whether there're famous or not.

So from that, you could argue: no smoke without fire? I can understand the viewpoint that perhaps people would try to make allegations for their own financial gain, but with that removed, why accuse?

 

[kendor]

not taking sides but perhaps the publicity? and the financial gain from the newspapers later on?

I don't think anyone (in normal circumstances) would question the intention of a parent wanting to be close to their child. What we're talking about here is a different kettle of fish entirely.

agreed somewhat but point was that it's the parents themselves who may feel the guilt and show less affection, masona put it into great words when he said that a child could miss the affection they so need at that age, as a parent and remembering when i was a youngster, that made me fill up.
