[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, what I would be more concerned about is the "grooming" of parents--as in the case of Michael Jackson. MJ groomed the parents to the point where the parents had convinced themselves that MJ was too wonderful to ever harm their little boys.[/quote]

I don’t understand this concept or the larger point you’re attempting to illustrate with this at all. You’re saying to be vigilant against parent attitudes towards their children? [b]What do Michael Jackson or R Kelly’s parental role to a grown man have to do with anything as it pertains to this discussion?[/b][/quote]

If you haven't been reading about or seen the MJ documentary "Leaving Neverland," there is a lot about how MJ basically won the trust of parents, which eased his ability to prey on children. Psychologists refer to this as "grooming" the parents because once a pedophile has won the trust of a child's parents, the parents permit the pedophile unsupervised access, and even sleepovers. Priests, teachers (like that teacher from Beauvoir), and stars like MJ manipulated children's parents into believing that entrusting the children in their care was in the best interest of the child.

Thank you for explaining that. I had never considered that before, and I have not followed the documentaries. This is very sad. [/quote]
