oliversmummy I seriously hope you do not work with children of young adults.
Your attitude is appalling.
With your reasoning, only the children and young adults whose parents are always 100% on the ball 100% of the time should get adult protection then?
Is that what you are saying?
If you are not saying that, then why are you involving anyone else other than MJ?
Let me make this clear.
It is not only children who Can be groomed.
Adults can too, including those in positions of authority.
M J was not a one off.
JS groomed adults and those who are supposed to protect invulnerable too.

I work with children and I cannot think of one parent who is perfect, absolutely none. Nobody can say they are.

I'm not agreeing with lax parenting however ALL children deserve protecting regardless of how 'perfect' their parents are.
Victim blaming is 100% wrong.

The woman is full of her own ego and importance.
The parents should have been fearful of MJ and his arrangements this is true. But the victims have been damaged by someone they trusted as he used them to service his supposed or imagined needs.
The victims are now grown men who have had their childhood maligned.
But according to BS (that's not short for bull shit) it is okay because they have survived........................unbelievable

It's amazing how famous people think it is their divine right to comment and pontificate about issues and we are supposed to take notice and listen, she is just another one, just because she can sing and are able to have a platform to lots of people doesn't give you the right to inform others of your thoughts, yes I also mean people like you Sting, Bono etc, get off your soap box and back into your gilded cage

Stop, just stop victim blaming...!!

Survivors have enough to deal with.

I wasn't going to watch leaving never land...never been a MJ fan or particularly interested.
But I did watch . Before with all the grim media narratives I guessed that these families were just 'chasing cash'.

I changed my mind. If these men are lying they are bloody good actors... They showed all tjr signs of adult survivors of early child sexual abuse.

My heart went out to them... And their mothers... Who had been clearly groomed completely by MJ.

What they a revolting man
