Michael Jackson Bombshell

http://www.thesmokinggun.com/doc_o_day/doc_o_day.html

DECEMBER 9--A confidential investigation by Los Angeles police and child welfare officials concluded earlier this year that allegations Michael Jackson sexually abused a cancer-stricken boy were "unfounded," according to an internal government memo obtained by The Smoking Gun.

The memo notes that the boy, now 14, and his 12-year-old brother--who also denied sexual abuse--expressed "a fondness for the entertainer and stated they enjoyed visiting his home, where they would often ride in the park, play video games, and watch movies." The pair's sister, now 17, told a social worker that she accompanied the boys on "sleepovers at the entertainers home," but had "never seen anything sexually inappropriate between her brothers and the entertainer."

The children's mother told investigators that Jackson was "like a father to the children and a part of her family." While acknowledging that her son "has slept in the same room as the entertainer," the woman claimed "they did not share a bed. The entertainer would sleep on the floor," according to the November 26 memo.

Here is the memo:

The joint probe by DCFS and the Los Angeles Police Department ran from February 14-27 and, the memo states, the "investigation by the Sensitive Case Unit concluded the allegations of neglect and sexual abuse to be unfounded both by the LAPD-Wilshire Division and the Department."

When an investigation is closed, child welfare officials can summarize their findings in one of three ways. If evidence is found to support abuse charges, the case is marked "substantiated." A case is termed "not substantiated" when evidence discovered is not sufficient to support allegations (though the charges may, in fact, be true). Finally, a matter is branded "unfounded" when officials determine there is no merit to the allegations.


Maybe the media will start to focus if Rush Limbaugh was laundering money for
his hillbilly heroin addiction?

I wonÕt hold my breath, you know that the American media ( and SOME Americans) love nothing more than to lynch successful American minorities. The American media WILL NOT focus itÕs rank speculation on Rush Limbaugh, it will refocus it on Kobe Bryant.

1. You mean like a child welfare agency that loses some 500 kids
or one returns kids to abusive homes where they're later murdered or starved to death?

Right, real reliable.

I'll back the DA on their judgement on this one.

This is not about child welfare agency, it's about what the so called molested children said themselves.

The children's mother told investigators that Jackson was "like a father to the children and a part of her family." While acknowledging that her son "has slept in the same room as the entertainer," the woman claimed "they did not share a bed. The entertainer would sleep on the floor," according to the November 26 memo.

The memo notes that the boy, now 14, and his 12-year-old brother--who also denied sexual abuse--expressed "a fondness for the entertainer and stated they enjoyed visiting his home, where they would often ride in the park, play video games, and watch movies." The pair's sister, now 17, told a social worker that she accompanied the boys on "sleepovers at the entertainers home," but had "never seen anything sexually inappropriate between her brothers and the entertainer."

7. The mother and children have no credibility now.

First they say MJ was "like a father" and "never seen anything sexually inappropriate between her brothers and the entertainer."

Now they say the opposite.

They have no credibility.

3. no more MJ threads
please. Let this one play out in the courts. Michael Jackson is rich which means he gets justice. Try talking about somebody who won't get justice, or talking about policies, or something. I'm not a moderator and I have a relatively low post count, but 24 hour Faux coverage of MJ and Laci is no way to spend time on DU.

6. Seconded. I don't care if he's guilty or not. He ceased to be interesting
a long long time ago.
