Guilty or not (I do believe in the innocent until proven guilty theory), in this case there is enough evidence of wackiness and general neuroses that I wouldn't want to leave my child unattended with him. The images of his own kids covered in scarves for a media fest at the zoo was poignant. Where were the caged animals? In the zoo enclosures, or the covered apparent offspring of Jacko?
First of all, because he paid off the first set of parents, I have a lingering doubt in my mind. Secondly, he's too messed up to be a trustworthy adult figure in a youngsters life. I wouldn't feel right about any male stating publicly that he holds sleepovers for children and shares the bed with him. He has opened the door for accusations with that statement and unfortunately it will be the child's word against his. (Supposedly innocent child against well known weirdo with past accusations a matter of public record).
I do hope he is innocent. I do feel badly for the loss of the musical genius he once was. However, as a parent I can't help wondering what these parents are thinking of in continuing to leave their children alone with him.
