It looks like the UK tabloid, The Mirror, is at it again with bashing our Michael. I feel yet another very strongly worded email is needed here. To me, the answer to her dilemma is very simple - she tells her 4 year old son what a great humanitarian Michael is, that he was totally innocent of all molestation charges and that the only reason he is deemed to be a "complicated man" is because of all of the trash such as this that is printed about him which ignorant people believe!!!! <!-- s:evil: -->:evil:<!-- s:evil: --> <!-- s:evil: -->:evil:<!-- s:evil: -->
Have a read of this:

Our four-year-old has moved on from his most recent hero, Ben 10.
(NB: If your reaction to that statement is, “Ben 10? What’s that?” then you aren’t a parent, and really, you can skip this. Nothing happening here, folks. Return to your cocktails.)
Anyway, his new obsession is Michael Jackson. It started with Blame It On The Boogie, moved on to Beat It, Billie Jean and Thriller, and now he’s convinced he’s mastered the Moonwalk.
Now, I have no problem with any child of mine enjoying one of the greatest talents the pop world has ever seen.
I’m happy to play him Jackson’s amazing music and let him watch those fantastic videos.
But, but, but... As we all know, Jackson was a complicated man.
Our lad has already started asking questions about why Michael looks brown in one clip and white in another, and if Michael was friends with younger boys, like him. Erm. . .
In the end, I’m left with a dilemma akin to the one that comes with Father Christmas.
At what age will my son be old enough to be told the truth about Michael Jackson?

MJ's 1st anniversary is coming up in less than 3 weeks so expect alot of BS from the media. Unfortunately they need to talk s**t to sell their papers!

Geez - I'd tell this person, "What's wrong with telling the truth about Michael Jackson? Unless your truth comes from the tabloids and then it's not truth at all." Shame on all of these people who continue to push false impressions of Michael Jackson and others without researching the facts first. Ughh...I tried to find an email for her but couldn't find one. I sent two emails to Diane Dimond a few months ago and was surprised that she answered me both times. She may not have been totally persuaded but my philosophy now is that regardless of how they respond you must plant the seed of truth. With L.O.V.E. of course.
That is why I posted the content of the article as well and not just the link <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) -->
You let your son enjoy the magic and genious of MJs dancing and music without interference.
You tell him that MJ had lots of friends who were children and a lot of them were sick children whom he invited to his house to enjoy the rides and the cinema and the train and have a good time.
The end.
some people REALLY need to get their facts straight..
