Tito Jackson said it best in a 1984 interview, explaining that his brother Michael avoids giving interviews because he feels he has been unjustly and unfairly treated by the media, particularly by newspapers, and believes that people will form their own conclusions regardless of what he says. Tito clarifies that Michael does not feel he owes fans explanations or interviews, but instead feels his responsibility to them is through his music, and he takes pride in being a positive example for children. Addressing concerns about kids losing their identity by dressing and moving like the Jacksons, Tito says he doesn't see anything wrong with it, comparing it to children wanting to be like characters such as Mickey Mouse.
He adds that imitation can be harmless and even inspiring. Tito also shares that his own children love watching him perform and enjoy practicing to be "little Jacksons," noting that his middle son can even moonwalk a bit. He mentions that his kids are deeply into music, taking piano and guitar lessons, and look up to him with hopes of following in his footsteps.
This also destroys the narrative that Neverland was meant to “groom” children, exactly how was that going to be possible if the place was gonna be public and accessible for everybody? ANYONE could’ve find ANYTHING at ANY TIME and guess what… there was NOTHING INCRIMINATING EVER!
When people say "I'd do anything for my child," everyone praises them, but when a parent risks crossing a border to save their child from war, poverty, or danger, suddenly they're treated like criminals.
While we're here, let's talk about how insane and backwards it is that the woman who was pulled over has her full name in this headline but the officer in the wrong isn't named. Just "the officer." Okay!
