I know. Being willing to pay $20 million dollars to the previous boy to
keep him from going to trial or going public, should mean something.
What was Maikeru afraid of? His future prospects? His good name?
Incriminating identifying marks witnessed on his private parts? The
boy's statement on the Smoking Gun is quite interesting.

Fixing his problem won't punish or redress any wrongs. And it was
Jackson or his family who should have sought treatment for him (and La
Toya, who said in an interview she could not stand the simple touch of
her own husband because it brings back memories of her own abuse as a
child) decades ago, not accusers' families or the government.

As the allegations of his former maid show, there is a lot of evil
people would allow (and stay silent over) for a few million dollars
cash. These won't be the last boys at Jackson's house.

That's the beauty of the American legal system, no? But wait! the
lawyers and supporters of personal freedoms will cry; they can still
sue for redress in a civil suit and have more likelihood of winning,
like in the OJ trial.

Waiting for his call and his money, as surely as many lawyers were.

Pedophilia or abusing children, it seems, is more of a criminal matter
than one that would bring the doctors such as being an elderly woman
living by herself with 200 cats or an old man keeping a mountain of old
newspapers and garbage in his house, and thus there would still be the
burden of proof to overcome to have him removed from society or treated
against his will.

That is a fair question. People in the US who are not Michael Jackson
might get their kids taken away for a simple slap on the cheek that
even the child interviewed alone will say did not really hurt, or for
leaving a sleeping baby unattended.

Rich kids who can tell their classmates: My daddy owns the Beatles'
music.
