I've always had a degree of sympathy for Michael Jackson. I was not as quick as some to judge when certain allegations were made against him. I found very little substance in those allegations, to the extent that it was in my limited ability to know.

I suspect Michael lead a very troubled and lonely life. A life in which every person he meet was out to get something from him, that is, except the innocent children whose company he kept. 

One of the boys who made accusations against Michael, eventually published a book, accompanied by a great deal of media hype. I never bought the book, but I looked it over in the store several times, and it seemed to be all innuendo and no substance. So, I give Michael the benefit of the doubt. 

Now, I worry about his children. Michael had severe outstanding debts. Likely creditors are going to swoop in like vultures and lay claim to everything Michael owns. But where does that leave his children? Who cares for them? Where does the money to support them come from? 

I see plenty of people fighting to get control of the children, because he who controls the children, control what remaining wealth there is. So, the kids become pawns in a money game. Yet, I ask again who really cares for them. Who care independent of the money, glory, and fame? 

I really don't know, and so...I worry.
