f***ing weird the way the Mum was laughing at stages talking about the time.

Agree, quite odd almost fondly reminiscing
Always thought MJ was an 'odd ball' and probably suffered in his own life growing up but to hear the 2 victims there is pretty tough to listen to

Hard watch.
But mum saying something along the lines of “knowing he was having a great time”. So even now, knowing what she ‘now’ knows and uses that language. Utterly bizarre.

Watching it now....I believe that he was definitely a paedophile and a horrible human being....but what are the parents of the two boys up to? Still reminiscing in glowing terms occasionally about MJ and the good times. f***ing Hell...this Monster was abusing their flesh and blood. Unreal. And very disturbing.

That’s what I couldn’t get my head around. Found that the most shocking element.

The programme describes the sort of psychological manipulation he would use. He heinously took advantage of starstruck kids and their parents.

One of the mothers saying that she was curious. It feels like she allowed the abuse to happen in exchange for an extravagant paid for lifestyle. Don’t think I can watch any more. Horrible.

Confirmation bias. They loved the lifestyle so much they convinced themselves it was innocent.

Aye that was hard going. Clearly the aussie mother was completely starstruck and dragged into the fantasy that the boy was going to be famous. The other lad's mam tells the story like she's still proud of it, bizarrely.
I wonder if the two lads know each other, because their stories were basically identical.

The director was on R4 yesterday and was adamant they had never met and they weren't paid for the programme.
He was allowed by everyone involved to abuse children because he shouted he he and wore one glove. People bought into the whole icon of his era shit that just allowed the abuse to continue.
Also, his music is shit.
