What I'm trying to figure out is why there are no charges against the parent?

Could you imagine what a prosecutor in California would do to a parent who had a child accidentally killed by a gun in the house once, and then had the same thing happen again years later?

I mean, HELLO!!! The dude is creepy, weird and way too friendly with children. KEEP YOUR KIDS AWAY FROM HIM.

This "no charges against the parent" observation leads to another observation: Where were the authorities? I mean, you're watching the guy, you see kids going in and out. In their position, I would have warned the parents. It seems like this was NOT done.

Was the prosecutor Dom Sheldon (Tom Sheddon) hunting over a bait pile? I think this is personal payback for Whacko Jacko's beating the prior rap and his little "Dom Sheldon" song. That's an abuse of the system, though I agree with Bob & Tom.

I agree with you that the parents definitely need to be held accountable. Jackson could not get away with these things but for the greed of some of these kids' parents.

Which brings us to Jackson's own kids... the Grow Your Own Victims Program... he's not the first pedophile to use such a "program".

While it is certainly possible that the DA has it in for this freak, I just hope people don't make a snap judgment on that. Jackson has powerful tools of propaganda at his fingertips. Apparently he's already released one song about this. It's almost like the DA has lost b/f he ever had a chance to carry this through--if we assume that the DA is doing this only out of vengeance. I kind of doubt that. I think Jackson, like many a rich person (thinking, for example, of the Kennedys), desires to control the law enforcement agencies in their home "fiefdom", so that they can break laws with impunity.

When Teddy Kennedy had that drunk driving accident in which Mary Jo Kopechne was left to drown, the Kennedy henchmen, including one of their many loyal cousins, Joe Gargan, moved in and immediately took control of the local police authorities. I'm sure Jackson would like to have the same power in his own home county/state. Failing that, his propaganda machine will simply try to discredit and demonize the local DA.
