Reply to "Michael Jackson"

When that TV show premiered earlier this year, the one that ignited all that press about MJ in which he confessed to sharing his bed with kids, there was a Hispanic boy on it who had cancer but was getting better. I wonder if it's the same one mentioned here. I noticed at the time how the cancer patient boy, who was pretty, was MJ's favorite and the one to sleep in his bed ... while the boy's fatter and plainer siblings slept in some other room.

411: Jacko Accuser: 'Wine, Sleeping Pills'

The 12-year-old boy at the center of the Michael Jackson child molestation scandal may have confessed to his psychiatrist that the pop singer plied him with wine and sleeping pills when he allegedly molested him, according to sources.

The boy has also hired Los Angeles attorney Larry Feldman, the same lawyer who represented the family of a 13-year-old boy who made similar allegations a decade ago, the sources said.

Also, according to my source, Jackson "” knowing some months ago that the boy and his family had serious complaints about his relationship with them "” tried to get rid of them.

"He bought them passports and planned to ship them off to somewhere in South America," a friend of the boy's family (a mother and siblings) told me. In fact, says this source, Jackson kept the family at Neverland for a period of time, hoping to convince them to drop their allegations by lavishing them with entertainment and further merriment.

Calls to Feldman and to the family's other attorney were not returned.

According to sources, the boy who made the allegations was a cancer patient whose "last wish" was to meet Jackson at a time that his friends and family feared his illness was worsening.

Jackson paid the family's medical bills and assisted them financially, even buying them a car and, according to sources, possibly a new house. When the boy's condition improved, according to a family friend, Jackson brought him to his Neverland Valley Ranch. That is when the alleged inappropriate contact between them is thought to have occurred.

At some point last spring, the boy's schoolmates "” apparently aware of his relationship with Jackson "” began taunting him in public. In one case, an incident of harassment is said to have occurred at a gas station, prompting the boy's mother to seek legal advice. The lawyer she met with advised sending the boy to a psychologist. According to my source, the psychologist had enough concerns to report his conversation to the police.

That would jibe with the idea proposed by the police and others that the family is not seeking civil damages at this time or anticipating a cash settlement similar to the one that happened 10 years ago.

Sadly, according to my source, the health condition of the boy involved is still in jeopardy "” a situation that should add to the melodrama of an already shocking and headline-making story.
