Enjoying being "Grammy" and "Nanny". Look forward to weekly visits with my bus kids and the ride to and from church on Sunday morning. Aware that many little eyes may be watching me. I want to be a faithful example to them.

Jackson Verdict

I am stunned to think that this man has gotten away with it one more time. I truly do not understand why people can allow a person to go free simply because of status. I will guarantee that if one of my sons had been tried with the evidence that Michael Jackson was tried with, they would have been thrown UNDER the jail!

I am not an unforgiving person. I try hard to see the good in everyone, many times to my own detriment but, really now, there is so much evidence to the fact that this man is not the kind of person you would want around your children. He holds himself up to be a protector of children and yet he plys them with alcohol and feeds their minds with pornography.

You may differ with me in this situation but I believe that as prevalent as the pornography was at Neverland, there would have been no possible way a child could have been there without being exposed. To me that is detrimental to them.

My views concerning pornography are strong! I believe that exposure to it scars the emotional well-being of the person viewing it. It puts women AND men in a light that is degrading. It produces a view of the act of sex and the opposite gender as a very selfish and meaningless thing. I do not believe that our Creator intended it to be so.

I remember when I was a child(back in the 50's), that children were protected from understanding anything about their sexuality until they were reaching the age when they needed to understand it. I think that was essential to their well-being. It allowed them to be children. It kept them from carrying a burden of the thoughts of curiosity and deeper thinking that would be necessary to understand that act. It allowed them to be pure in their thoughts.

I honestly believe that it has been the pressure on children to try to make sense of the sexual part of their beings, in a world of lust and self-satisfaction, coupled with alcohol and drugs that has produced this generation of sexual deviants. On every hand we are bombarded with sensual movies, advertisements, TV sitcoms and the work place that is filled with inuendo and a desire for power. What do we expect?

We live in a day when a man can molest children and get by with it because he is famous. We have more compassion on animals than we do for our children. This man is a predator! Why didn't someone care about the children that will be exposed to his influence in the future!

Before I quit this let me add, I do feel a crushing sense of hurt for his family. But, I might add that I am sure that long ago they knew that all was not well with Michael. I'm sure it hasn't been easy to have that feeling of anguish, knowing that your child may be guilty of harming others but to let it continue is nothing short of selfishness!
