I've always thought Michael Jackson was a creative genius. In addition, I've always felt that he was denied any type of normal childhood. After reading lots of things about his childhood and how he was treated, I felt very sorry for him. I believed that aside from his musical talent he never actually matured mentally beyond a child.

After all the comments regarding Leaving Neverland and the many texts I received from friends, I decided I'd watch the program. So, I set my DVR to record it from On Demand. Tonight I watched Part One. In the beginning, I felt even more sorry for him than I had in the past. As the program continued, I honestly got sick to my stomach. I still feel like he was a genius. I still feel very sorry for him and the torment he obviously felt. However, I'm now very angry that nobody got that man/child the help he needed and deserved. I believe with all my heart that a lot of people deserve to be in prison for protecting his sexual endeavors and allowing him to prey on young boys.

There's no amount of money that can excuse what happened to that man or the young boys he manipulated. I'm not sure if I'll watch Part Two but I'm thinking I probably will. My God, those boys were children unable to even perform sex much less understand it. That's my take and I don't know how I'll feel if I watch Part Two. Further, I don't know that I'll ever be able to listen to him again without cringing just a little and possibly crying over such a lost soul.
