#OnThisDay March 3rd, 1995. #MichaelJackson attended the funeral of Craig Fleming, a twenty-two-month-old baby whose mother threw him over the side of a Los Angeles bridge along with his four-year-old brother, Michael, before jumping herself in a failed suicide attempt. The Long Beach mother and her four-year-old son survived the incident, although her son Michael, was badly battered, requiring a lot of medical aid and a lengthy stay in hospital. Michael Jackson paid for his medical costs, established a trust fund that continued to benefit the boy for years to come, and dedicated the song "Childhood" from his "HIStory" album to his brother, Craig’s memory. He was also involved in founding the "Community School/Safety Havens Initiative", with the purpose of creating a secure environment for L.A. families and consisted of after-school activities, namely; computer, languages, mathematics and sports courses and programs.
