Allot has been said about Michael Jackson...If he did or did not molest children..why would someone put him on a pedestal, having so much, being blessed yet wasting it, so many things have been said, yet NOT ONE PERSON alive really knows another person 100 percent. No One knows what we face each and every day. And I have always been taught to never judged another person because NO ONE IS PERFECT!!! we ALL make mistakes.
I have so much respect for someone when they say they have moved on and started living a good life after molestation or any kind of abuse, and truly have. But I have no respect a person that doesn't admit that they still hurt, are still sad, because I have been there and I still hurt from the pain of being molested and I still cry because of who it was. I am a survivor of abuse, rape, and being molested from a very young age.
When we use words to hurt others, are we any better then the ones that hurt us?...When a " friend" says because you didn't play in my play ground...your not my " friend" any more" were they ever really your friend?
It seems that the internet, blogs, forums, email is a place where we don't care what we say, how we act, rudeness has nearly become the rule rather than the exception. This is not just about Michael Jackson. I didn't know him, nor did I live in his mind, or his heart. But I do know that he was a father, son, brother and I pray that his family doesn't read the nasty cruel things being bantered back and forth and that he can rest in peace. I pray his family well find peace too

I hope so too! The family deserves to find peace without disrespect from those that are bashing him.
You and I and others know what it is like to be robbed of our childhood as Michael was also.... but it only makes sense that not everyone is going to react to the same experience the same way. In case, like you, I was not there and I do not know for sure.
Some have said, and I tend to believe it, that he was always a child at heart since he never really was allowed to grow up either. That would probably explain why he wanted to act out things as a child would.
Whether it was more than that, again I do not know, but I do know that NOW, it makes little difference. The man is gone!!

Such very true words and so nice to see your blog,so many people ready to condemn him. The fact is that he was cleared on ALL counts so who are we to judge.Apart from his music it would be so refreshing to see it commented on how much good that he did, all the charities that he donated to as well as many individual people he helped. He is not in the Guinness Book of Records for nothing, so if for no other reason,lets do it for his family and children. Let us have some compassion! We can all be to quick to judge,
The best medicine for healing is to forgive,holding onto pain only destroys and makes the wound fester more.Every experience in life can be turned around from a negative to a positive.
I agree with what you say, it is distasteful seeing rudeness on here, lets spare a thought for others!

There is a point in every abuse victims transcendence from victim to healthy human being where they must take responsibility for their lives and leave the abuse behind. My judgements and words about Michael Jackson come from the experience of being an abuse victim myself. Glorifying somebody that did not have the courage to face his problems is a sign of what is wrong with this world today. Michael Jackson played up his victimhood to the hilt and never made that decision to get healthy. You can sit in denial of that fact all your want and nobody including myself would ever say that we shouldn't have compassion or understanding for the pain and suffering that abuse victims feel, but you must make the decision to take control of your life and leave victimhood behind. It's hard, it's tough, and it's difficult but it must be done ultimately as an act of self love. To not do so is the ultimate act of self-hatred and self destruction. I have no trouble with a judgement like this because we must judge at times. We can judge with compassion and understanding but we must judge many things in our lives in we are ever to take responsibility in our lives.

Maybe he didn't take responsibility because he's not guilty. Perhaps he just loves kids of all shapes and sizes. That does happen. People who work with children in any capacity, such at teachers, scout leaders, ROTC, speech therapists, doctors, nurses, all have to have a love towards children. He was a bit unorthodox I admit but look at his life. He was forced into a life of seclusion himself so if he had kids over I could see a busy day or weekend turning into a sleepover. We've done it at my house many times. Personally, I've never done this, but, I could trust myself with sharing my room with a bunch of kids and if anyone here can't do the same, you need to seek help yourselves. What happened to the days of pajama parties and sleepovers and fun without all the dirty minds? I think Michael just wanted fun for kids and will let God be the judge now, it's not our job. I don't think when he was a little boy and his parents pushed him into this lifestyle he planned on his life to come. This little boy was stressed out and if he knew his future, I'm sure he'd have made different choices like many of us would have. I feel sorry for the man, just as I feel sorry for many men like Elvis, Jim Morrison, Marilyn Monroe, even Princess Diana or any star that I think left this life way before they should have. I think fans and having to always do more for them, better than the last time, living a stressed out life with body guards all the time has so much to do with it. Lost

It was obvious that Michael suffered and never got over the abuse he went through as a child. Whether he was guilty of molestation, I know not. I just know that he was a miserable man and was never able to grow up mentally. He was a musical genius with a beautiful voice. Tis sad that he basically let drugs take him out. Just proves that all the money in the world can not buy happiness. I wish his family peace. I just don't have any use for his father.

Um,,,,
don't really care about Mr. Jackson. He's gone,,, and what he did do or did not do is now left to be judged by a power higher than me.
Now his family can let him rest in peace,,, but I wonder if they can let his money rest in peace.
