But in this case, according to the article, the mom is a gold digger and uses her son's illness to front for her. She is despicable and brazen and most likely saw another opportunity to perpetuate a fraud again via Jackson.
There's no doubt in my mind that she is a gold digger. And I'm sure she thinks she screwed up by going to the police instead of shaking down Jackson for $20 million or so. Also, I think she is a really stupid/sick woman for sending her son into the home of a known pedophile. But regardless of all this, Jackson still deserves to be locked up forever.
Michael Jackson joke:
Only in America can somebody who is born a poor, black boy grow up to be a rich, white woman.
