Jackson's Kids: 'We Want to Stay with Grandma'

46. If anyone on here is a believer in Christ then you all know there is a DEVIL. This is an evil mess and it is very sad for those who loved Mr. Jackson and i pray everyday now for all of those near and dear to him to have peace and to be very strong. Nobody can stop your evil posts about Michael it is free speech.....but slander is another thing. PRAY FOR THOSE LEFT WITH THE BURDENS..........his are over or are they???

47. Jackson or Rowe its just aname.Who cxan give these kids the love and support they need?That is the question.I am sure that M.J. left a will and the kids had a a care taker named.He loved his kids and left them to be raised by who HE felt best.That will be released later. Right now Grandma is a good choice.Keep Grandpa away from them though.His record in child rearing speaks for its self.I clearly remember the interview M.J. did. Fear does not give a child what they need. This is Joe Jacksons way .I think Grandma is full of love for those kids.As for Debbie Rowe no one knows what happened behind closed doors with Micheal.No sense in judging her.Time will tell when the will is revealed.

48. Has anyone thought of DNA testing the kids? the photos that I've seen certainly don't look like bi-racial children. They look white. Genetically Michael had dark skin, so if he is the father, you would think that would be obvious in the kids. If he did not donate the sperm for the kids, then the grandparents have no legal right to them. Moral and ethical rights, yes. Legal rights, no.

50. One thing everyone seems to forget is, these are the JACKSONS, a family of master manipulators and control freaks. I'd like to know how everyone seems to think Debbie Rowe ever stood a chance of keeping those kids in the first place or ever seeing them after the fact. This is a family that, as we've seen and heard over the years, fights tooth and nail to keep their lives private and paint a rosey picture for the public. If any of them speaks against the family, as we've seen (La Toya), they are shunned and attacted publicly by the other members. So, come on people, see it for what it is. They prey on the weak. She's a nobody and easily pushed around - just about like everyone else the Jacksons use and abuse.

51. Leave them with the same man (Joe) who physicially, and possibly sexually, MJ and his siblings? Fantastic idea.

I saw on MSNBC yesterday that MJ isn't even their biological father. How sad is that. He hated himself so much (the surgeries, the drug and alcohol abuse) that he couldn't even bear to have children in his own likeness. That's thanks to his father, Joe. I wonder if the sperm donor whoever that is, will now step forward. Perhaps the sperm donor is father to them all? Unlike to the two "mothers".

Can't Deepak Chopra adopt these kids? Anybody but a Jackson. They are damaged goods and will turn the children into the same.

52. It looks like the Jackson family has their PR people posting here. It's up to the courts to decide whre the kids go.

And if Debbie wants her kids back she has more rights to them than Michael's crazy religious freak parents.

53. It is unusual for me to lean towards the kids not being with their natural mother. In this case, I feel that the three children should stay with the grandparents. We'll probably never know for sure what Joe Jackson may have done or not done to his children but this whole scenerio is different. They will not be pushing these three children to be performers. The entire Jackson family is grieving the lose of their son/brother ~ the children need to be with a family who loved their father. Yes, I know about the distance (not as in mileage) between the parents/siblings but at a time like this, families tend to come together. They will all love Michael's children and the fact that it is such a large family is also great for the kids. As far as Debbie Rowe, she got her millions when she gave up the kids. I don't know if she had visitation rights or if she ever spent time with them, but I, for one, am not so sure that she will fight for custody. I do not think that the grandparents (grandfather) will do any harm to the children ...they just lost one of their own ... if any of you have ever lost a child, I can tell you it is a life changing experience. I feel for the children who just lost their father and I believe that the best thing for them is to be raised by the Jackson family.

54. Despite YOUR WISHES and the dysfunctional Jackson family wishes, this will fall under California law period. Based on California law Debbie can file for custody since it was not legally terminated and as their birth mother if she desires and there is no reason to deny her this claim.

Michael created this probelm for his kids with all of his excentricities and bizzare lifestyle. The kids will now suffer the actions of their sperm donor father. His selfish desire for children outweighted the welfare of these kids. It is a very SAD situation.

55. Joe Jackson was abusive, Katherine let it happen. They have a bunch of dysfunctional kids who have no knowledge of reality. They are great REOLE MODELS. GIVE ME A BREAK. All of you want these kids to be raised by 2 people who are in their 70's? I am sure that they can adjust to another death. Why don't we let the courts decide what is best for these kids instead of getting all self- rightous and all-knowing about it. ARE ANY OF YOU ON THE INSIDE? I am not - so I have no idea where these kids will end up or who they want to spend their NORMAL lives with.

56. I didn't read all the comments here. I can't with all the negative. I'm still hurting over this great loss. But I did see a comment saying DNA testing should be done. Why? These kids was with Michael and his family since they were born. He was their father. Joe and Katherine are there grandparents. No more discussion. I think the kids should stay with their family....The Jacksons. -Steve

58. I think the children should stay with their grandparents as well if that's who they want to be with, but it is really none of my or the public's business.

After all it is the year 2009 and there are child protection laws and I am sure that authorities will oversee and be involved and the children will be where the children want to be.

59. DNA DNA test. I do not think these are his kids. Can you say sperm doner. Send them to their mother. Do not let daddy joe around those kids.

60. One thing that many of you folks are forgetting is the fact that their are LOTS of Jackson Grandchildren who are not part of the music biz- college educated who never been in trouble/made tabloid headlines! Rebe's, Jackie's, Tito's, Marlon's, Jermain's children ALL grew up without any problems. very smart and well rounded young adults now-
