What a loads of bollocks. The guy isn't right in the head, so I would say it's undoubtable he thought it was a good idea to nip it in the bud before it went to court. And I still maintain that a long drawn out high profile court case with the worlds biggest and richest star could have been potentially catastrophic! Celebrity cases are always more drawn out than regular joe cases. And with the nature of it being a celebrity case, I bet you shit loads of peeps would have come out falsly claiming they had been abused in order to get some money or fame. It could have done FAR more damage than an out of court settlement.

As for would I let him baby sit? I don't have kids, but if I did of course I wouldn't. But then I wouldn't let my next door neighbour baby sit my (hypothetical) kids either. I wouldn't let anyone sit my kids unless I knew them personally. So thats THAT argument out the window.

As for people saying it's tempting to take the money even if he WAS guilty - I pity your children. As said I am not a parent, but I know for fact no sum of money could buy my childs dignity, innocence, mental stability or anything else. No way could I take a bribe to silence my child if he/she had been abused. Same as I wouldn't do it if my wife/girlfriend had been raped - and a grown women is far more equipped to deal with such a thing than a child. If a parent can do that, then they deserve to lose their child to CPS or something....
