Michael Jackson’s Accuser Claimed Parents also Abused Him

The boy accusing Michael Jackson of child molestation had previously accused both of his parents of abuse. It has been recently revealed that he also has a history of changing his story concerning abuse claims.At the age of seven the accuser became sick at school but became very upset when a school official tried to call his mother. He said his mother had beaten him and he was afraid she would beat him again if she were notified, according to Russell Halpern, the attorney for the accuser’s father. Recently revealed documents show that Family Services had started an investigation into alleged abuse of the boy by the parents in 1996. But, the boy recanted what he had said earlier to the school official, stating that he had never been beaten by either parent. Therefore, the allegations were declared “unfounded.” The accuser and his siblings, including a younger brother who is also a prosecution witness in the case against Jackson, have other instances where they have changed their stories. One apparently suspicious testimony given by the accuser and his siblings occurred when the mother claimed that she was beaten and sexually abused by a JC Penney’s security guard after a shoplifting incident. Her children backed her story. Although a defense psychiatrist called their statements “clearly rehearsed testimony.” The next year, police were called to the family’s home during the parent’s bitter divorce. Without their mother present, Jackson’s accuser and his siblings told a social worker that they had witnessed “no hitting, just yelling and not a lot of yelling” by the father over the years. However, days later, with their mother present, the children changed their story. Instead they claimed they were subjected to daily beatings from their father that included punching, kicking, breaking bones, holding their mother's head under water and constant threats to kill them all.
