What Will Happen To Michael Jackson’s Kids?

[...] custody of MJ’s mother, but for now they’re in LA with a nanny. Strollerderby says that the children’s godparents may step in–”Mark Lester (the star of Oliver), the godfather of one or two of the children, told [...]

I feel for these children more then anyone else in his family. They are all adults(age wise anyway)the kids on the other hand need a stable adult in their life. None of the choice look that great. Debbie Rowe gave up these kids. The other people are all stars and have their issues. My fear is that anyone that does come forward to take care of these children will only be in it for the money not for the sake of the kids.

I feel that the main reason that Debbie probably gave up those children, is who can financially fight a celebrity in the court of law…. seriously? I think that now that Michael is gone she should step up and get her kids back, the youngest, whos mother is a surrogate should remain with his siblings. It is hard enough to loose your father much less the only family you have. Some say nothing nice about Michael Jackson, but he was a human too, so dont take that and life for granted… AMEN!

That video is crazy. I felt claustrophobic watching it.

I agree with so many. The kids are the ones to be concerned about. Michael Jackson was and will forever be famous, yet his life is surrounded by real people, real family who cares for him.
They will morn, and ache for Michael. As fans, we can morn as well, but we never “knew” him. We never eat with him, laughed with him, worried over him.
His children will suffer the most. he adored his children. Lived his life in many ways through his children, that was clear. They were with him always. They were everything to him. He would never want them exploited. I hope they can remain safe, and most of all….happy!!

I think they need to be with his family. Since the birth mothers weren’t major parts of their lives, they shouldn’t be forced to go with them. I think the godparents can be a support to them, but I believe they need to be with the Jackson family. Probably Jermaine would be the best choice.

They should go to someone outside the “fame” circle. Someone able to provide these children with a stable loving home. I have never seen someone like that attached to the circus that was MJ’s life.

Actually Kathy, Jackson died with horrible debt. I think he still owes Sony money. He had no other choice but to give up Neverland. So anyone hoping for a payday in getting the children, will probably ed up sorely disappointed.

I think these kids caught a lucky break. Now they will no longer be the pets of a “heavily addicted to oxycontin” addict and a daily demerol and morphine user. See rich people can buy children whenever they wish. I am curious to see what sort of education the Jackson pets have been given seeing as they never went to school and traveled all the time. What a nightmare they must have been living with the drug addict.

Michael Jackson’s children should go to his family or the godparents the children had. Anyone else is in it for the money — even their respective mothers who never wanted them to begin with.

My friend recommended me a very interesting place *** WealthyFinder.com *** It’s where

wealthy singles looking for someone to enjoy their wealthy lifestyle with.

The kids should go to the Jackson’s family….That’s probably what their father would have wanted for them.

and there is no such thing as a “fight” for custody, the kids go to whoever the father (as sole parent) identified in his will. if he had no will or made no designation, then his parents are next in line. if his parents are deceased, then his grandparents. if his grandparents are unable or deceased, then his siblings. luckily, his parents are alive, so there will be no fight as between the many jackson siblings for custody.

Well, the cat’s out of the bag. Debbie Row has now publically admitted that Michael was not the first two children’s biological father. I believe the timing was a little soon, as many are still mourning the star’s death, but it does answer the burning question that many have been asking for quiet some time now–Is Michael their biological father? In every sense of the word, except for DNA, he was their father–he raised them and took care of them, which is a lot more than some biological fathers out there. Although a little eccentric, he was a wonderful person at heart and a great entertainer! Michael, you will be dearly missed!

Ok…”quite”…not “quiet”…That’s it, now I’m just embarrasing myself! If only I could delete past posts!

They should be with his family, Debbi had gave up on them two times

I don’t understand why you people have to criticize him and judge him. i am not saying the writer of this did. i am just saing this to get it out. all the judjing the world did to him is what drove him to death. everyone just needs to leave his stories alone and only to the family.
you will always be loved and remembered michael,
r.i.p.

Heather you reveal how ignorant you are. You should do some more research on those cases against him, and you’ll see that they are full of lies and extortion from the accusers’ side. Read the trial reports from beginning to end. Read about the Arvizo family that accused MJ 2005- They had a history of extortion, with a mother that had tried to make a living out of sueing and accusing celebrities one by one to sueeze money out of them! Plus, a settlement with JC-Penny that got her 137.000 dollars after accusing their security officer of fondling her breats. She has been known to rehearse her children to tell the story that she wants them to tell in each specific case. That’s why MJ was acquitted in 2005. In 1993 the dad of the accuser had planned the whole extortion scheme before any accusation was ever made by the kid. Read up on the cases against and MJ instead of basing your judgement on tabloid bullshit, read up on the backround of the families that made the allegations. They’ve got “extortion” written all over them. Wikipedia covers the stories quite extensively and objectively, including most details that one would need to know to form an educated opinion and judgement. Check out the information at:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_child_sexual_abuse_accusations_against_Michael_Jackson

Which presents MJ’s defense in the 1993 as it might have been if the case had gone to trial.
Why do you think the accusers settled for the money instead of taking the case to court and convicting MJ? WAKE UP AND THINK. The money is all they wanted from the beginning, because nothing ever happened. And in your research, notice reports like:
“In early August, Evan Chandler (the father of the alleged abused boy Jordan Chandler), a registered dentist, extracted a tooth from his son’s mouth, and was later forced to admit that he used the controversial sedative drug sodium Amytal during the procedure.[1] Under the influence of the drug, Jordan alleged that Jackson had touched his penis. Experts state that THE DRUG SODIUM AMYTAL “MAKES PATIENTS EXRTEMELY SUSCEPTINLE TO SUGGESTIONS”.Dr Lewis Strong, a Los Angeles psychiatrist stated, “You can’t trust it, I never use it in my practice. I have found it to be unreliable. It’s certainly not a truth serum”.
“Police had questioned 30 children who were friends of Jackson, with all denying that the singer was a child molester.”

“The police then began an investigation into Evan Chandlers’s prior actions and found that he was $68,400 behind in his child support payments, even though he was well-paid as a dentist.”

And regarding the accusations from the Arviso family in 2005:
“Jackson’s attorney alleged that the charges were made in retaliation by the family after the family members realized that Jackson was not going to continue supporting them financially indefinitely.[9] The family was portrayed during trial as exhibiting a long history of attempting to extort celebrities.”
And back to the first case: The father of the alledly abused kid Jordan Chandler, had been recorded saying in a phone conversation:
“Everything’s going according to a certain plan that isn’t just mine. and if I go through with this, I win big time. There’s no way I lose. I’ve checked that inside out. I will get everything I want, and they will be destroyed forever. June (Jordan’s mother) will lose [custody of the son]. and Michael’s career will be over.” In the same conversation, when asked how this would affect his son, Chandler replied, “That’s irrelevant to me…It will be a massacre if I don’t get what I want. It’s going to be bigger than all us put together…”

There’s a lot more where that came from. Too much to include it all here. Do your homework before you pass judgement. Obviously you have not read the trial reports closely from beginning to end, but fixated on the lies in the accusing familys’ testimonies, when making your judgement. YOU READ AND LEARN. There is a good reason why Michael Jackson was acquitted on all charges in 2005! They didn’t have any solid, credible testimony or evidence on him. They didn’t have anything on him, although they tried! … Oh and for Angela: The kids had home schooling, and those close to them have said that they were very intelligent, well-mannered children that loved their father dearly. We saw the circus, whenever he was in public with the kids - because the public made it into a circus. That’s not their fault. Michael never wanted them to be part of that media circus, which is why he veiled or masked them in public, and tried to avoid public attention on his children. Hopefully because of all the masking through the years, only few will be able to recognise these children and perhaps they will be able to live a more normal life. Unless too many photos come up into the media now, during the custody disputes. Anyone close to Michael has said that they had a loving and close relationship with their father. Soon enough the children will come out themselves and tell the truth about their father and their lives. It’s never easy being the child of a celebrity superstar, but I think MJ did everything in his power to give them a normal, happy life, to the extent that it was possible. It could obviously never be completely “normal”, but he loved his children, and I’m convinced that they loved him very much. I wish the best for them.

HEATHER, and where did you get your information that they didn’t have playmates? They had plenty of friends, other kids coming over, cousins etc. to interact with. YOU ARE VERY IGNORANT AND JUDGEMENTAL. Furthermore, you’ve obviously done absolutely no research on court records, although you say yourself “read the court records”. You are just another tabloid junkie that believes whatever story they come up with. What you are stating is false: That “he’s been caught with numerous kids” - The only ones that have said they caught him molesting a child, have been people that tried to sell their stories to the tabloids for 6 digit amounts - Without even going to the police first (so is this really serious, or opportunists looking for a quick way to get rich?) Later they’d had to admit that they never actually saw or witnessed anything. And the children these people were involving in their stories, have said themselves that nothing of the kind had ever happened!! There was only one actual trial of child-molestation, which is the one with the Arviso family mentioned in my previous long comment, where he was acquitted in all charges, because the mom had a history of accusing and trying to sue celebrities, companies etc plus manipulating and rehearsing her children to tell “stories”. Where the hell do you get your information?? I’m sick of these haters and prejudiced tabloid suckers that don’t care to look into the facts and the full story of these cases, and yet claim that Jackson fans are blind sheep that don’t want to face the truth. Most devoted fans have done their research, have done their homework on the accusations because they believe Michael’s defense is to be found in the full truth, the whole truth, with all it’s backround information. You judgemental haters and tabloid suckers don’t care to do any research. You just heard in some magazine or newspaper that for example “numerous kids have come forward” and you eat it raw without doing any research. That’s exactly what they want you to do. That’s why they can pay money-hungry “witnesses” 6-digit amounts for their fabricated stories - Because people like you buy into it and take it all in like blind sheep. It’s fine if you’re not interested in doing the research on someone that you don’t care about, but then don’t pass judgement !!

Strader, you are in no position to make those judgements. You are not a celebrity to know what kind of threats on your children would move you to try to hide their identity to the extent that you can. You never lived his life with all the precautions towards the press and the media that it involves. You are narrow-minded to think that someone who’s been beaten as a child will turn out to be an abuser himself. First of all MJ was whipped as a child. Never sexually molested. I was hit as a child too, and now I´m a kindergarten teacher devoted to supporting the right development of children. Constantly advocating the welfare, happiness and rights of children. I would never dream of hitting a child. Have you ever heard of pattern breakers in the world of psycholgy? Many abused children turn out to be the opposite of what their parents were, and that’s how THEY get back at their parents. That’s how they deal with their emotional baggage, by being everything that their parents were not. From what everyone around MJ has observed, he has become the total opposite of his father. You shouldn’t have such a black/white view on things. There are many factors that come into play in the psychology of a person. Most importantly you DON’T know him at all. I don’t know him either, but listen to everyone who knew him well: He was a wonderful father and an amazing, loving, giving human being. Those that can see beyond the tabloid junk and lies can appreciate that. Who are you to judge? We can only judge him by what those closest to him have to say, and by what we saw in our hearts when he spoke to us, sang for us, danced for us, and smiled for us. That’s what we know and you don’t know anything else beyond that.

She is not biologically related to them, then she shouldn’t be with Debbie Rowe.

Personally, I think that the kids should not be split up. I mean think about it…they lose their father THEN have to be separated from each other. That would emotionally destroy them. I also think that the best people to father Michael’s children would be: A) Katherine Jackson, B) Janet Jackson, C) Macauley Culkin. I also want to say that I love you Michael and I hope to see you in Heaven. I also want to tell you, Michael, that I know you didn do anything inappropriate to this kids.

I have not seen that printed anywhere or seen it anywhere online- is Princess Kasia Al Thani really his Godmother? all the other ones are known-

i love michael jackson i wish he never i love you mj

I believe that Prince Paris and Blanket are in good hands. Its really tough and hard for the kids to have gone through this and i am here for them! No one suspected that something like this would happen. What would be better than for the kids to grow up in the loving and caring arms of their fathers own mother! Much love to you all! I gove lots of love and support!

Suushiii

Someone is trying to give false publicity to a fake princess as being the godmother of Blanket. How pathetic to use MJ’s death and his children to promote herself. I have met this faux princess and I would gamble that a former hooker is not the godmother. It has been published that the godparents are Diana Ross and his mother and godfather is the child/adult actor in England. I bet Zaina is the faux princess trying to drum up publicity.
