I'm telling ya, you just can't make this cr*p up

I dunno. Maybe you can. I saw a very similar story line on Law and Order. 2 brothers, 1 has a chronic disease. The parents let a well known celebrity continually abuse the other child in order to get payoffs, w/which they paid for the sick child's care.

Maybe Jacko saw the episode you're citing.

I've read and heard many people suggest that this is another of his patented publicity ploys.

Seems every time he's about to release an album or start a tour he finds a way to insert himself in the global headlines.
