[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Despite the child abuse allegations including the horrific claims from the men in Leaving Neverland, his music continues to be played. My daughter's dance studio just choreographed her recital dance and it's to a Michael Jackson song. Why are people so dismissive over this scandal? [/quote]

Extremely talented and a really really crappy childhood mixed with mental illness lends to some empathy.  It really is very complicated.

[b]He was abused as a child and not allowed to grow up and develop the normal prefrontal cortex to be able to say no.  These are two things that most pedophiles have in common (not all people who have both become pedophiles though).  I am also wondering if they gave him hormones to keep his voice from changing too much- that could have really messed with him.  Mental illness is terrible and he had no one to hold him responsible for his actions.  I don't think he ever really had a chance.  It doesn't make his behaviors less horrible; it just gives people perspective to understanding the "why".  [/b]

Don't all pedophiles suffer some sort of mental illness?  Should we show the same empathy and understanding towards all pedophiles?[/quote] If we want to figure out what is going on to stop the cycle, then yes.[/quote]
