Any social services team of any repute wouldn't have let Jackson get away with sleeping with under-age kids. His money and influence has bought him immunity and that's completely reprehensible in our society that is supposed to protect the vulnerable - especially children.
In ten years time those kids will be old enough to realise and experience the terrible consequences of the abusive relationship they have suffered at the hands of Jackson. Not only has Jackson let them down by exploiting them but they have been let down by society. It's as serious and disgusting as the abuse of children by Catholic clergy that has been uncovered by the media and then covered up by the church.

Have you ever heard of the satyrical magazine Private Eye?McLilith wrote:Meanwhile there was a strong earthquake in the country of Chile today, but Michael Jackson is probably all people will be talking about.
McLilith
I only ask because they have (or had) a section called small earthquakes. It's named that after a competition between contributors to invent the most boring headline imaginable. The winner was the late, great Claude Cockburn. His entry:- "SMALL EARTHQUAKE IN CHILE. NOT MANY DEAD".

That's only because they slipped LaToya in to take the test in his place.nuffink wrote:Yuri Geller's on telly confirming that he asked Michael under hypnosis if he ever touched children in a "inappropriate" manner. He replied in the negative.
Phew. Thank f**k the jury reached the right decision.

I pity the next boy Jackson gets hold of.
I've had a long-term fascination with Jackson, having had something of a crush on him when I was about 21 ('Off the Wall' period)
This led to reading several biographies, authorised and unauthorised, and the nature of my fascination completely changed - I decided that he was the biggest freak in the world. This was BEFORE any of the initial 1993 allegations. In the end , I just became sad at the spectre of the classic example of a closeted gay man with extreme arrested development.
And the kid stuff?
Doubt all you like, but there is SO MUCH MATERIAL out there. Yes, I believe in the veracity of the jury system, there's no real alternative. Yes, I believe he's a dangerous paedophile. Yes, I believe he'll do it again, as stupid starstruck parents will continue to pass their boys over the Neverland walls.
To all the doubters, have a read through Jordy Chandler's 1993 declaration. This is the case that Jackson settled for millions of dollars rather than have it come to trial.
Read all four pages of it, and imagine your son (or any thirteen year olds you know) in that position, with Michael Jackson crying because the boy won't let him put his tongue in his mouth.
Of course, I have absolutely no real knowledge at all whether or not Jackson is innocent or guilty. None of us do. So we have to make assumptions. Hope this helps you in your guessing games :
