Its been two years, can't the family afford a wheel chair? WHY is it 'someone else's' 'The Government''s primary responsibility to care for a member of the family? Isn't it first and foremost the responsibility of the family? Just asking.

Family picnic allegedly circled by car 'going sideways' in suspected Islamophobic attackA man has been accused of terrorising a family on a day out in NSW, with police alleging he drove his vehicle within metres of young children while making death threats. Magistrate Stoddart described the alleged incident as an 'atrocious attack'. Interesting description given there was not any physical contact or injury. One trusts the magistrate has far more forceful language in reserve for an attack occasioning actual bodily harm. Any proof it really happened? Not the first time. 'He has also now been referred to the Fixated Persons Unit for assessment.' So yet another violent delusional sociopath. One has to wonder how much methamphetamine etc. is causing some of these guys to go psychotic, if they have a preexisting mental health vulnerability.

Jackson's family hits back at accusers in new documentaryThe niece and nephew of Michael Jackson attack the credibility of the singer's accusers in a new documentary responding to allegations of sexual abuse of children made in the series Leaving Neverland.

The family wants to keep it and the accusers want damages to be paid. If the estate is smart they will settle. There is no honor in this fight.
