I agree, it's not normal. I think he has the mentality of a child...However, that does not translate to sexual abuse.

I think we have to avoid even the appearance of things like that.... Maybe we will know soon, if he is guilty or not.

I, too, agree that it's not normal. But I think the childlike mentality, arrested development, and strange, neurotic behaviors (air masks to keep from getting reporters germs) coupled (eww, no pun intended) with his adult, fully mature physical body and desires and the internal conflict therein are EXACTLY the recipe for someone so seemingly childlike and yet so predatorial of children. Many pedophiles have similar issues. Thankfully (sarcasm) the various gay movements are working overtime to erase the stigma of child molestation. Maybe MJ can be their poster 'child'...

Jackson never grew up? He surrounds himself with all the toys to draw little boys to his ranch.

He wants the public to believe his is MOST comfortable around children cuz he trusts them..he even let them sleep in his bed. They are HIS friends..so trusting, so loving.

Perfect environment for a pedophile.

Actually it does translate to sexual abuse. The way he talks about boys is straight off the NAMBLA webpage, and also straight off the FBI webpage on how to identify potential abusers.

Dangling an infant over a several story drop is child abuse.
