I think Michael had a rotten childhood . I really don't think he was a child molester -- believe me-- I know the signs. He was a truely talented man and will be very much missed and always remembered! My heart goes to his family at this time.

Explain to me how a grown man using an amusement park to lure unknown kids to his home not considered a warning sign for a child molester?

Explain to me what kind of a parent would send their minor child to the house of a celebrity for an unchaperoned sleepover, regardless of the celebrity's public reputation.

If you weren't there, How can you judge? Watch out for you alls Karma

DEBROGERS0225 - Yes, Deb, he did and was the only one who ever did, poor him. But the rest of us didn't have millions of dollars to buy the best therapy once we hit legal age. And, sweetie, you do NOT know the signs of a child molester or much else besides daylight, dark, and eat. Btw, did it ever occur to you that he was a vicious little liar? He once publicly and vehemently denied ever having had cosmetic surgery and went into a tirade and threatened to sue anyone who said he ever had. Yet between his childhood photos and those of his early adulthood, somehow his wide nose and fat lips magically disappeared, along with his dark facial skin.

ZUCHINIBUT - Good point.

FRANKSWILDERYEARS - answer: either they were prize-winning stupid or, like many so-called "adults", were willing to do stumble all over themselves and do anything to suck up (no pun intended) to a celebrity.

NEICY - I wasn't at Pearl Harbor in 1941 either but I'm pretty sure the Japs pulled a sneak attack. Btw, you weren't there with Dear Michael and his little boys so how do you know it DIDN'T happen? I'll bet you'll like being a grownup one day. PS. - have you finished your list to Santa Claus yet?
