I too missed a part of my childhood, not from abuse though. I was the oldest and looked older than I really was so everyone expected me to act like an adult, so I rarelly had fun, like playing with toys or acting silly, because I was suppost to "know better" and look out for the "little ones" even though they were a year younger. Now I offten act like I should have when I was little, I play with my cousins toys and do silly things like build forts. The difference bettween me and Michael Jackson is he missed all of his childhood and I have friends that are my age who will build forts with me, he does not so he looks to children.

The accusers story being iffy is not supprising. He is probly being told what to say or when he was interviewed by police they made him think it happened. That has happened to many people questioned by the police, they begin to doubt what they know and substitute it with what the police tell them. I think they are just after the money. Does he really know what happened? When I was ten me and my cousins thought we saw a mountain lion, but reality check did we really see a mountain lion. Probly not, and we even told the receptionist at the resort we were staying at, we were so sure we saw one. Kids are easy to manipulate, I have offten played tricks on my cousin telling them they saw a moose when it was clearly a branch, they were so convinced they would run up to their parents all excited explaining what they saw, antlers, ears, nose, tail, weird noises, when obviously they had never seen it, and I had never told them that they saw antlers or a nose ect., they just asumed that is what they would have seen. Does that mean all child whitnesses are liying, no. But it means some are.

The security system thing is a bit odd yes. But think about it, lots of people have safe rooms which are usually the bedroom. As a famous person he would need a safe room more than non famous people. I personaly would not want to be killed in my sleep.
