Jackson allegedly showered families of his alleged victims with gifts in an effort to get closer to them. As previously stated, Jackson groomed the families of his alleged victims in an effort to get closer to them, creating a false sense of security about his spending alone time with their children. For instance, the parents were driven around in limos and offered rides on private jets, as well as unlimited shopping sprees and vintage wine from Neverland's cellar. The mother of Jordie Chandler (another one of the alleged victims) was flown to Monaco and Las Vegas and received a diamond bracelet. Jackson bought Jimmy Safechuck's parents a whole house, and Joy Robson, Wade Robson's mother, accepted a car. (It should be noted that the documentary doesn't mention the car or the permanent residence visa that Robson's mother testified to having at Jackson's 2005 trial, which she received through the Michael Jackson Corporation.)
Jackson stayed over at his victims' family homes, and was repeatedly described as "childlike." At multiple points throughout the documentary, Robson and Safechuck's mothers say Jackson seemed like a "9-year-old in a 40-year-old's body" and that he became like "another son" to them. This childlike persona of Jackson's (as well as his fame) is what apparently led the families to believe that their children would be safe alone with him.
Jackson supposedly drove apart the families of his victims. Robson and Safechuck both detail conversations Jackson had with them about not trusting other people, especially women (and their own mothers). He convinced the boys that no one would ever accept or understand the "love" they shared. Robson and Safechuck also mention how whenever Jackson would call their homes (he'd speak to the boys on the phone for six to seven hours straight), he would never acknowledge their fathers, simply telling them to say hi to their mothers or "to the family."
