Like Sept, I have no sixth sense on this one either. I saw the interview where he incriminated himself about the kids sleeping in his bed. I felt that he is a very disturbed, troubled. lonely man who was trying to make up for a deep lonliness. It occured to me that it could be molestation but more then that I saw a lonely man who wanted to "feel connected" with the child, thus the play land he invented and the extravagance. My kids slept with us whenever they wanted, and occasionally some strays would wander in. I always asked the parents about it before hand though, and usually hubby would bed-hop to an empty bed. However, guilty or not, there is an issue where our culture shames anyone who wants to be close, to kiss, to hug, to touch in non-sexual ways. We have strong tabboos on it. So when I see my youngest daughter go back to visit her middle school, "she is graduating highschool 4th in class on friday", and her middleschool friends, it amazes and delights me to see boysw and girls hugging and kissing and sitting on top of eachother and rough housing. Our mainstream culture has sexualized all of that. What a shame.
