Off the top of my head...

Admitted to sleepovers in same bed as small children.. no adults allowed

Those children were able to identify marks on jacksons body they should not.

Alcohol was provided by staff

All that could just as easily prove he was developmentally delayed and basically thought of himself as a large child. I think it was obvious he wasn't mentally healthy. There are developmentally delayed adults out there who get along like gangbusters with little kids because their brains are running on the same wavelength.

MJ is a weird case. It's super suspicious, but the fact that parents let kids sleep over is even more suspicious. As a parent, I'd never let my kids sleep over at mjs place. Especially with the rumors.
So why would a parent do that? Extortion seems reasonable.
Worst case, parents were feeding their kids to a child predator so they could extort a filthy rich guy.
This also explains caulkin. He was rich. There was no point in extorting mj.

Can you explain the caulkin case ?

Macaulay culkin had a long friendship with mj from around the time he was in home alone. He's consistently said throughout his life that nothing bad happened to him.

So this culkin is a kid too ? So according to your theory because his parents are rich he doesn't need to lie ?

He was a former child actor who starred in the Home Alone movies. Had a turbulent few years early on as an adult, as many child actors do, but is supposedly doing very well now.

What the other poster is getting at is that he had a lot of income coming in from his acting career, as a child and even still now to an extent, so he would not have felt motivated to lie and sue for a lot of money like some kids' families might have.
