Jacko: Where Have All the Children Gone?

'Twas two months before Christmas and all through Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch, not a creature was stirring -- anywhere! The King of Pop's now dilapidated playground -- 2,800 acres of bumper cars, carousels and Ferris wheels -- is a virtual ghost town, as Jacko has less than 90 days to make good on a $23 million loan -- or get in line at Six Flags.

The House That Thriller Built once employed dozens of servants and groundskeepers, but now sits empty while the reportedly near-bankrupt star rents an expensive home in Washington, D.C.

A formal Notice of Default and Election to Sell was filed in Santa Barbara County on October 22, according to FOX News' Roger Friedman.

In 2006, Neverland Ranch and its assets were said to be worth a whopping $17,042,560.

Perhaps he can rent it out as a location for "Kid Nation 2"!

32. It is property, it has to be maintained to look nice. The grounds and landscaping must be tended to, in order to remain lush and beautiful. What is it supposed to look like with no staff caring for the property ?? Those of you in DC, you were not informed of Michael Jackson moving there for one simple reason ... the man was vindicated in June 2005. He was found not guilty on all 14 counts,he is not a convicted sex offender. As for his finances, we should all be as 'Broke' as Michael Jackson. The man wakes up and has made money. Maybe he could control his spending a bit but his assets are more than any of us. Nobody has to like the guy but a little common courtesy could go a long way.

33. No, somebody did not post with the name GAVIN and make the statement, "...i'm not going to judge the man but I sure hope he's happy..."

34. I think its very sad to see what people have done to him. I don't believe anything that they said about him. Its very sad to be something that he worked so hard for and paid so much money maintaining this place is now DISTROYED. I feel so bad for him. Someone who was so powerful back then to look so sick now...poor guy. I hope every thing goes good for him....he's still my #1

35. Oprah should buy Neverland Ranch and turn it into a school where little girls will be abused and molested by the teachers.

37. I believe ever since Michael was a little boy, from the abuse he suffered from his Father, to the abuse He suffered from the Public. Noone really understood him, or even want to understand him. Even throughout his adolescent to adult People still don't understand him, instead of trying to understand, by looking closely at the big picture, People in general wants to think of negative things to say, and those things are to make then feel big or good, and the other person feel small. People are not thinking about the person at all. they are write/ making statements about him. Michael has feelings too, If He do something wrong, YES!!!! He needs to pay the price, through th eLaw not the public. just like any of us. We. need to put ourselves into his shoes, as for as the negative comments. What ever reason Michael had to why His skin change is his personal business, not mine, not yours. Michael is 1 year older then me, and I like him then and still today, as a Christian I love everyone, even if I don't agree with their life styles, so we can just live and let live, and please allow the law to handle Mr. M. J. Jackson.
So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

40. Thankfully MJ is living in DC. I used to live there, and the city is a pit. At least he is not buying property on Martha's Vineyard. Rumor had it that he was looking for a place there. His presence would sully and corrupt the Vineyard.
