I agree that parenting is the main issue here. It's obvious Michael has issues with parenting himself - he claims he wants his children to have a normal life, then doesn't supply anything even close to a normal life for them. If he can't be a responsible parent, I don't know why other parents would let their children sleep over. It's like letting your child go to a sleepover at someone's place where there are NO adults present. Sure, the kids are safe from abduction or being killed, stuff like that. But Michael is mentally a child himself. I don't understand how kids can be allowed to stay at his ranch for days at a time without concern from the parents. I don't care if he's MJ or the next door neighbour, it's shocking.
