Of Michaels children at least for now. It doesn't look like the kids mother has even made a plea for them as of yet..IF Joe Jackson was abusive to Michael and granted he is a lot older now is this a good idea?? I would think one of his siblings would get custody maybe Janet she seems most sane

In this article there is also talk about a live album being made from his rehearsal recordings nothing like getting on with the show

I'm wondering how old Jackson's mother is and whether she's up to the physical task of raising three young children. I can see that perhaps Janet would be the best guardian of the siblings, but I haven't been following all of the Jackson family escapades as of late.

I really just don't know what the best scenario is for those children. I'm guessing that they were most likely raised by a nanny up to this point, so possibly have the closest relationship with her, but she would never be granted guardianship.

As far as the mother of the oldest two, she had originally waved all parental rights to Prince and Paris, but the court did grant her parental rights back during Michael's trial. But, as far as I know, she's never seen her two children since she and Michael split.

I just also read that she is requesting that she is made administrator of Michael's estate to ensure that his assets solely go to his three children.

So sad for young children to lose their parent(s). I pray that these children are placed with the best possible guardian.

If they have had a daily nanny, she should still be their daily nanny. Whoever gets the children, needs to keep the nanny. Even if they have the closest relationship with the grandmother, she is older, and they probably should go to Janet, or one of the Uncles. I don't really know much about them or Latoya.
If the mother has not tried to visit the children since she was granted some parental rights, then she really has no right to request custody or to be the administrator of the estate. I am sure the children will have some rights to his estate regardless.

I know it isn't always the case, but grandparents are usually not as hard on grandchildren, then they were on the parents. If Michael didn't want them around his children, I would think he would have put that in a will.

I think they should go with Michael's family because at least the kids know them. Their mothers have never been in the picture. I wonder what the will said.

No matter who gets custody, I hope the media leaves those kids alone. They have been through enough.

Debbie Rowe has never cared about those kids. She wanted $ and fame, which she started shying from once she found out how harsh it can be.

I would think Janet and LaToya would be too busy to do right by the kids. I think there's another sister, but can't remember. I, too, think I'd rather see them with one of the brothers (I think Jermaine is the only one I know much about) than the mom, mostly because I, too, don't want them living w/Joe, and the mom was too weak to do anything about it (or was perhaps part of the party). Recently at least one of the children's faces was revealed (may have been more than one). I really hope the media and the public let them alone if that's what they want.
