So what happens to the children? Paris Michael Katherine Jackson 11, Prince Michael Jackson 12, and little Blanket, Prince Michael II, 7? They’ve got to feel a great sense of loss considering the sheltered nature of their upbringing. People magazine is reporting the children are with the Jackson family in the Encino home and that Michael’s mother, Katherine Jackson will take the children in and care for them.
Michael Jackson was always adamant that he was the biological father of all three children. The topic has been the source of controversy over the years.
<Debbie Rowe is the mother of Paris and Prince and she gave up all rights to the children for a 50 Million dollar payment and a house, reportedly. Blanket's mother reportedly was a surrogate that Michael never met, which appears odd to me because Michael was such a perfectionist. That all appears to be a moot point at this stage because these children are left with no father and he was the only caregiver for them, other than nannies.
One thing not in dispute: Like icons before him, Tupac and Elvis Presley, these children will be well taken care of because there was only one Michael Jackson. He may have been marred by financial problems recently, but in death his earnings will surpass any problems he may have had. The reports are that no one can find a will. His most recent attorney, Joel Katz in Atlanta does not have it. This story will remain in the news in the coming days and months as the world mourns the death of Michael Jackson.
Rest in Peace Michael Jackson. 1958 – 2009
Thanks for the music

Most people, especially black people knew from day one none of the children were Michael’s biological children. It wasn’t rocket science. The bottom line is that Michael was their father, I don’t care how they got here. I for one hope they remain with Katherine Jackson. She will do what’s best for them. She will look out for the leeches that want to prey on whatever fortune they have inherited. It’s going to be a rough ride for these children. We should keep this entire family in our prayers.

It really amazes me, all of the coverage on Michael Jackson. I understand he was the world’s top entertainer, so while it’s understandable the media would try to capitalize on his story, there are 3 children invovled in all of this and eventually the bad press will reach them. You can only shelter them to a point. That breaks my heart.

All 3 kids are Mike’s biologically. Period. Biracial children can be very light to very dark. Get over yourselves and remember that when slavery was abolished many Black people who appeared White chose to “pass”. Please educate yourselves on race and color and open your eyes. The children do not look lilly white anyway. So ridiculous!

It’s wonderful that the guardianship of Michael Jackson’s kids as been worked out and that Katherine Jackson received custody with visitation to Debbie Rowe. These children need so much love and support and it’s truly a blessing that they will receive what they need.
