I don't have any problem with parents who take their children to Neverland, or allow their children to go on large chaperoned group day-trips there. Michael has a wonderful amusement park, and there's really no reason why kids shouldn't enjoy it. It's the parents who have their kids spending unsupervised time (often including spending the night!) with this clearly disturbed adult man, who ought to be facing some charges.
Frankly, I'm not at all sure he's ever done anything more than what he has said he's done -- share a bed with some of his child friends. I wouldn't be terribly surprised if the two boys who've made further allegations were encouraged to do so, and to greatly embellish the truth, by their gold-digging parents. Why the heck else would you let your kid spend the night with him?!?!?!? But what he has confessed to doing is plenty to warrant keeping kids from unsupervised contact with him.

Frankly, I'm not at all sure he's ever done anything more than what he has said he's done -- share a bed with some of his child friends.I am sure of it. Long before the first public accusation I was telling people he was a pedophile based on his behavior and my expeience working with sexual deviants. When the initial charges came out ten years ago many of my friends thought I was either a genius or a prophet.
His affect, demeanor, lifestyle, and content of conversation is classic pedophile.
As far as allowing children to go on chaperoned outing with Michael, that is how it always starts out. He repeatedly does activities which include a parent and the siblings until he has the complete trust of the family. The sexual approach only occurs after a long period of establishing a close and loving relationship with the entire family.
