Joe Jackson Defends Spanking Michael Jackson
An interview with Joe Jackson was filmed by Jacksonsecretvault.com over the summer and will be used in Katherine Jackson’s upcoming movie produced by Howard Mann.
The interviewer asks Joe to elaborate on past comments made by Michael as far as being abused as a child. Joe says, “I had to be like that because when raising him, in those days, so many gangs out there getting into trouble, going to jail. Most of them are dead now. He didn’t have to worry about that.”
The interviewer also asked if Joe had any regrets, “No! They tried to make a big issue when I spanked Michael or some of the kids, ya know? Just like they didn’t spank their kids when they did wrong. The media twists everything.”
Do you believe in spanking as a punishment?

shannon commented on Sep 05 10 at 3:48 pmI would rather not spank but i thin some kids need spankings. Spanking could be a tap on the hand or butt, from what i heard about joe he gave more than spanking but we have to remember times are different. I think most black father back then could relate to joe about him wanting to protect his kdis from the street. But i think jow went a bit overboard with working his kids and there was some mental abuse too.
