(any in non-English speaking countries do not know that J-acko is derogatory). The article below is fully positive. The young man in the pics is Bela Farkas who was the little boy whom Michael met in 1994 in Budapest while visiting a hospital. He never before gave an interview. The little boy at the time needed a liver transplant but at the time no such operation was performed in Hungary and it was very expensive abroad.

When Bela was born his parents left him, so he had no hope to get the money. When Michael visited the hospital he asked why the boy was so thin and yellow and they explained it to him. He immediately said that he would pay for the operation and the treatment. Not only did he pay for the operation but all the treatment that was needed after that and he continued to send Bela gifts too.

Shortly after his operation he was adopted, so he grew up with loving parents. When Michael went to Hungary for the HIStory tour, he met Bela again. The boy then told him: “You are as if you are my dad.” Michael laughed and told him: “Then you are my son.” They remained in contact until Michael’s death. Michael sent him cards, gifts for his birthday, for Christmas and Bela sent him drawings, photos. When Michael died Bela cried as if he lost his dad.

He is 24 now and just become the dad of a healthy girl. He says the doctors predicted he would not live past his 18th birthday and here he is at 24 still doing well. He’s very greatful to Michael and he’s sure he’s in Heaven now.
