I'm afraid I agree with Cerek, Attalus and several others here. If any 40+ year old man or woman in my neighborhood started having kids sleep over in his/her room with them, I'd call the child welfare hotline in a flash! Why is Jackson allowed to do it, advertise he's doing it and keep ON doing it without repercussion?
You might say, well, the guy's famous and it gives the kids something to talk about but hey, just going to his ranch is PLENTY! The whole bed/bedroom thing is beyond normal or acceptable, in my opinion.
This may be out of context (I just couldn't bring myself to watch that show- five minutes made my skin crawl), but Groj's quote above
Quote:
Jackson, 44, caused outrage when he admitted a 12-year-old boy regularly stayed at his mansion and slept in his bed
He said: "It's very loving. What's wrong with sharing a love?"

makes me wonder just exactly WHAT is 'sharing love' to M Jackson? Can't taking the kids through his midway amusement park or zoo or theater be 'loving'? Why the bed sharing? I infer he means cuddling or other intimate acts from that comment. Albeit, Jackson seems so much in a childlike state of mind, himself that he may very well think such things are perfectly 'loving' and wonderful and normal, I don't know. ugh...I'm sure a lot of pedophiles would love that phrase "what's wrong with sharing a love?" with a 10 year old...ugh... I'm sorry, it makes me angry and queasy to think about it.
And yes, I know, he's never been convicted...but has he even been investigated past the last 'buy off'? For all we know he's been buying alot of parents off all along.
