As he grew older he re-created what he wanted to be, which not only included his appearance, but a life style. MJ's lifestyle had a circus/zoo theme, surrounding himself with young boys - the culture at that time didn't create any of this, it was his choice's that brought him the adulation which he craved. Everyone wants to blame someone else for his situation, his father, doctors, friends anyone but the person who designed what and who he wanted to be.

Westwood Blvd crossing over Wilshire Blvd. is one of the busiest intersections in Los Angles, it has been reported OFTEN. To have thought it clever to ride a rickshaw in that area, especially during lunch would be nothing short of an attention NEEDING scheme. I also thought it strange when you posted regarding two young boys, one on either side - since it was 1983, that means Michael Jackson was 25 - - Ree – 4

He should have been disgraced and jailed. Instead, our culture honors and adores him—we are as sick and perverted as he was. The guy was a homosexual pervert and child molester.

Prince Michael, 10; Prince Michael II, aka "Blanket," 5; and Paris Katherine, 9. Few have ever seen their faces, usually covered in public. The family was seen leaving the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas when Jackson was seen putting on a scarf and sunglasses. They were attending a show by ventriloquist Ronn Lucas. Blanket's mother is an unknown surrogate, and the other two children may be offspring from Jackson's marriage to Debbie Rowe, a dermatologist's nurse he was married to from 1996-1999. It's thought Jackson's custody was a "gift" as part of the split. It’s hard to find any information on Jackson’s children. Perhaps this is a result of a commendable effort to protect them.

Have they had; will they be able to have; any kind of decent life? Also there is a letter from Lisa Presley. It is so incoherent, it comes across as genuine and heartbreaking. http://tiny.cc/v4VgJ Unfortunately, Michael leaves some children behind.
