  I was molested by a friend of my brothers at the age of 6. I told my parents and they confronted his parents. They literally threw my parents out of their house and my brother wasn't allowed to see him again. His parents never believed that their son could do something so horrible. You never know what anyone is capable of.

  “Strong emotions interfere with critical thinking.”  Exactly.

  I love how blandly he says “I don’t like boring things”

  "I'm not a big fan of boring things." Fine, you don't get to see my stamp collection.

  One interesting thing that Macauley Culkin has said was that Michael didn't really enjoy meeting or hanging out with other adults aside from a select few.  To Michael, all the adults were just interested in his money or a business opportunity, whereas kids could actually see him as a friend.  He also mentioned that the kids Michael chose to befriend were aspiring child stars.  This is important because Michael wanted to protect them and provide guidance to them because he knew how cruel the industry can be.

  <b>Becoming</b> really famous in the 80&apos;s..? Dude was super famous as a little kid. By the 80&apos;s he was a global superstar.

  I’m actually friends with a couple of guys who knew Michael when they were kids, stayed over at the ranch all time, and said nothing ever happened. They even stayed in his room. They said Michael was just a big kid and it was like a sleep over with nothing weird. He was a really humble, generous, and nice guy. They both said it was about money because not only did Michael have a lot of it, he also use to give the kids whatever they wanted as gifts. Even his one-of-a-kind items that were personally designed for him to wear on tour. One of the guys I know, Brandon, who was in Moonwalker (he played little Michael in the parody Bad video and Zeke in the film) he told me this decades ago when we were in high school. I believe both of them. Also, if you don’t remember, Jordan, the kid who’s parents started the whole 1993 fiasco, admitted the day Michael passed that he lied. Now, all of a sudden, right after the law passes extending the statue of limitations to the age of 40, they now want to bring this up? After they were turned down cold by literary agencies when they tried to make it into a book first yet no one wanted to touch it. Both tried to sue the estate for &amp;1.5 million and that didn’t work either. All they have is here say. No proof and it would be more than just 2 kids coming out to say this if it were true. It’s all bs. They just want money. He did nothing but give these kids money, gifts, happiness, and friendship. If the parents were so concerned considering the fact that they too were invited to stay over (and some did stay at the ranch), then they should’ve said no from the start. Kids weren’t being just dropped off at the ranch. Just to be clear. There were no closed doors or sleeping shirtless, or anything weird. Everything that I’ve seen on here that everyone is saying is all been expressed by the media and not one piece of it is true. There’s the logic right there. Anyone who has worked with MJ or knows someone who has basically has a similar closing to their experience. He was humble, charitable, funny, friendly, extremely personable, selfless in a way I can’t even express I’ve seen any human be, and genuinely nice... and was very heterosexual. These guys need to give up already. I watched 5 minutes of Leaving Neverland and turned it off.

  Adults should never be hanging out or sleeping with children, no matter what &quot;affliction&quot; one may have. It&apos;s never appropriate.

  Even if Michael Jackson didn’t do it, the fact that he had young boys spending the night at his house without other parents around, and in his bed, is just weird. That crosses so many boundaries in itself.

  I would never let my kids sleep over in bed &nbsp;with a grown man. Just saying.

  People constantly broke into Neverland and tried to enter Michael’s house. Having an alarm to know when someone is at your bedroom door is a perfectly normal thing for someone who always has to be on high alert for security reasons.<br><br>Also, his bedroom was multiple rooms and multiple stories. It’s very likely he wouldn’t or couldn’t hear if someone was knocking on the bedroom door. So having that alarm also helped him know when someone needed him.
