Finished watching it last night. Wild. Pretty insane the bad situations that some parents will put their very young children into for fame and being associated with a star like Michael Jackson. Whether you believe the allegations or not, not sure how its normal and not creepy that Jackson slept in the same bed with young boys. That's a fact. He was completely infatuated with young boys. If you watch it, the mother of the boy from Australia is just over the top stupid: basically destroyed her marriage and family over it.

I don't have HBO right now and dont plan on getting it until GoT starts in April. Not sure this is one I'll watch.

Heartbreaking stuff. 

Fans of the artist are going to have to make some hard choices regarding his alleged demon side - and if they'll remain fans of the artist or not.

Here's an article that covered stuff not in HBO's piece.  For all those upset about Kevin Spacey or Bill Cosby, Michael Jackson makes them look like...no pun intended..."schoolboys."  The freak was pure scum.

They all abused power in the most appalling ways. And had so many people enabling it and helping them get away with it. I haven't watched the documentary yet but I plan to. It will definitely be hard to watch. It makes me sick. But it makes me think about Corey Feldman and the allegations he has made. And those who spoke out against Bryan Singer. I feel for the people victimized. It's disgusting and heartbreaking.

For those who haven't watched it yet, do it on an empty stomach.

Reading this brings up one word, disturbing.

How could any mother believe a grown man sharing a bed with your boy is innocent? I've heard that description before. It was innocent and childlike. No the victims were innocent and children. He was a grown-up freak. Childlike or not.

This is exactly what I've always wondered too.  Michael Jackson was a disgusting pervert but I'm not sure how to label the parents who allowed this to happen other than calling them child abusers.

I really don't understand how or why parents are putting their children in harm's way. And they should face consequences as well. I know that I would end up locked up if someone ever tried to abuse my son.

I'm not watching. This article was plenty enough. Some I heard, some was new. How people could not see is beyond my comprehension. It's almost like they had to suspect but the money and gifts were just to good. That thought pisses me off past the point of wanting to know more.

"There is no dispute that, at age 34, Michael Jackson slept more than 30 nights in a row in the same bed with 13-year-old Jordie Chandler at the boy’s house with Chandler’s mother present. He also slept in the same bed with Jordie Chandler at Chandler’s father’s house. The parents were divorced."

"Jimmy Safechuck’s parents got a house. Jordie Chandler’s mother got a diamond bracelet."

I guess some parents put a price on their children's safety and well-being.  They are sick f*cks as well and should face charges of child neglect at the very least, as well as having to forfeit any gains they received by putting their child in harm's way.
