Church And Video Games Help Jackson Kids Cope
Despite all the controversy swirling around their father’s death, it sounds like the Jackson kids are adjusting to their new lives smoothly. Prince Michael, Paris and Blanket are reportedly dealing with the father’s loss by maintaining a steady diet of church and video games.
Michael’s older sister Rebbie has apparently taken responsibility for overseeing the Jackson kids’ spiritual development, taking them to services at a local Jehovah’s Witness Church.
“Michael always wanted Rebbie to help with the kids if anything ever happened to him, so it’s nice to see her involved,” said a source.
To keep them connected to the ‘world,’ godfather Mark Lester says that the family is encouraging the kids to play computer games.
Really? I usually enter ‘video game land’ for one reason and one reason only: to escape the real world — and I find that’s its extremely effective.
Say Lester:
“They are trying to keep things as normal as possible at home. Paris loves to paint and Prince loves video games to try to keep occupied. Blanket loves to play with his toys and run around a little crazy.”
Will a DNA test result in the Jackson kids getting a new brother soon? I bet that would be hard for them to adjust to.

orbit commented on Jul 24 09 at 1:25 pmAfter the incident, It’s good to know that mj’s children find ways to cope up on what happened to their father. I observe that lots of people now use video games as a healing substance for their loneliness. Actually, I have a friend who diverted his pains on questing and grinding wow gold on World of Warcraft.
