My issue with this, is why didn’t all those child labourers 50-100 years ago regress to childhood then? So incredibly many children forced into becoming an adult and working from a very young age, but they didn’t start inviting kids into their beds just to have a sleepover.
They still got to spend time with other kids. You could argue that the labour was a normal childhood.
The difference is that Jackson was uniquely isolated. He wasn’t spending his days with other child performers his age, he was spending it with his older brothers and adults.
Apparently his dad “took” his groupies for him because he was too young. He’d also be in the dressing room while his older brothers had sex. His childhood was truly robbed from him.
They just beat their wives and kids. Culture back then wouldn’t allow men to show emotion unless it was anger. They became alcoholic, adulterers, abusive and depressed. I’m sure they diddled their own children as well. Had they had enough money I’m certain plenty of them would’ve done shit like this.

They also died young from work-related illnesses too
