The possibility if a longer incarceration rate in a looney bin is just that - not a probability. These folks are oh so clever. It's human nature to want believe that people can be rehabilitated. Shrinks are no exception, especially when a 'rehab success' justifies their treatment methods (no slam on the shrinks; most are genuinely well intended and highly motivated). The best thing to have come out of studying these creatures over the last however-many-years is the general agreement that developmental hard-wiring culminates by the age of twelve. And only three solid behavioral "markers" (read clues) to indicate future deviant actions.
Unfortunately, I have to admit that over time, my view has evolved to thinking of sexual predators, serial killers et al, as a virus. What does a virus do? It seeks to preverve itself. In our society, that's been too easy. BUT, a virus either infects (behavioral self-replication) or destroys. Read the newspaper, court transcripts, or any college text on the subject. How do we treat the viruses seen under a microscope ? That's a very harsh, I know. I say unfortunately because I'd prefer to live in a world where I didn't have to consider these kind of Big Questions.
This veered a bit off the subject of Michael Jackson, but the fact of him provides a pretty good springboard to the topic in general.
Thanks for reading.

Sabrina said:I have been of fan of MJ for many years. My favorite music and movie, "Thriller". I love to feeling the beating music to watch his performance dancer. It is so awesome !! It is hard to tell if any of the accusations are true or a lie. May the truth set Michael free and if he is lying may his sin find him out. Let God takes care of him !
It says that there is no such thing as "bleaching your skin". Further more, whose to say that he doesn't have vitalgo. He wasn't satisfied to be the color he was born, he acts, talks and makes up like a woman. Actually he sounds a little like Cher.
I think that people already have it made up in their minds that he is not guilty or guilty without even reading and listening to the facts. Why would these people keep allowing their kids to socialize with MJ if they think that he is such a pervert? I know the answer, it's a money issue.
He doesn't want the world to know he is gay. He had no sex with Debbie and Lisa Marie Presely. Strange ?
Why can the media or nation people leave Michael Jackson alone?
Liebling:-))) said:Yes, I am agree that mothers let their children overnight at MJ which they knows he is a "pervet" in the past. Yes, it's money issue, they go after.
Tamara said:If it is true, these Mothers need to examined or let the Social Welfare to take these kids away from them!!
These mothers/fathers who are after money and let their offsprings risk to sleep with MJ is moral wrong.
Mommyof3 said:I voted for Guilty becuz Police did Videotape in MJ's bedroom and found alot of "little boys picture" on the wall, movie video, and many things in "secret room". Last night i saw one show about MJ. One boy was with MJ in bath and they do "touch" each other. So seem that MJ can't resist "little boys" to feel loved and wanted. I wonder why didnt MJ touch "little girls"? I just try to make understand him like what make him so interested in "little boys" than "little girls" or "grown-up women"? But We might never Understand about MJ's sexual life, Right? I do know that MJ's father abused, control, and force MJ to be famous singer and must be on road for many years. Should We blame on MJ's Parent that they don't doing good job to raise MJ? OR Should We blame on MJ that he never had pleasure sexual with Women but only obessed with "little boys"? Or What else to blame on MJ?
Myself, i will never understand him at all. I wonder why did i always listen his songs when i was little girl? My mother bought a Red Jacket and Brown Leather pant from MJ. I always worn Red Jacket and sing "Beat it" all the time. MMM? Today I look him as stranger and hideous. He been hiding all of his life after he started less sing and less travel all the world. I wonder that make him want to stay Neverland and let all of kids come over. So he can "play" with them as Good person but inside of dark side, he act like "bad person" which he is not supposed to touch, kiss, fondling, or else.
He is disgusting me big time..

The welfare do not need to control EVERY parents´s house what they did with their kids until the happenend..............
I would like to remind you it´s children protection law, welfare go after. They beleive the children and listen them more than their parents. As what a boy claimed that MJ do something with him, that´s Welfare´s job to beleive him etc.
It´s court decison either MJ is a guitly or not. If they found MJ not guilty then welfare will take children away from their mothers. Why? Because of bad influence on children.
