Michael Jackson Guardianship Papers Filed

Michael JacksonA guardianship petition has been filed for Michael Jackson's children by Katherine Jackson, the grandma.

She is asking the court to appoint her as the guardian for all three kids.

The petition states the kids have "no relationship with their biological mother."

According to the petition, the kids are in the care of Katherine and they have "a long established relationship."

The petition says the value of Michael Jackson's assets are unknown at this time.

Debbie Rowe is named as mother of two children in the petition.

As for why Katherine thinks it would be "best" to appoint her guardian, "Minor children are currently residing with paternal grandmother. They have a long-established relationship with paternal grandmother and are comfortable in her care."

The petition says it's "not known at this time" whether the mother (Rowe) agrees that Katherine should be the legal guardian.

Michael Jackson and KidsAs for Prince "Blanket" Michael Jackson II -- MJ's third child -- the box where it says "mother" is checked "none." The DOB is listed as January 21, 2002.

A hearing is now set for August 3 to hear the petition.

61. THOSE ARE NOT MICHAEL KIDS. NO BLACK MAN CAN GIVE BIRTH TO 100% CAUCASIAN CHILDREN. HE WOULD BE THE FIRST TO DO THAT. THIS WILL BE THE BIG STORY IN DAYS TO COME. YOU HEAR IT HERE FIRST

62.
Of course they have a relationship with Grandma. Mom was bought off. But will Grandma protect them from GrandPA?

63. I wonder if Michael ever mnade his wishes known if something should happen to him? Can this be something that is stated in a will?

I half agree with this. The only hinderance is her age. She will need help and when she passes, then what? Debbie Rowe was nothing more than a womb and has more feelings for her horses. I wouldn't be surprised if she came out of the closet soon either.

65. Tough fight ahead, Grandparents were found to basically have no rights towards their Grandchildren unless the biological parents were found unfit (Supreme Court 2002). Supreme Court HUGE MISTAKE-!!! Who cares about the childrens needs or wants, the family of the dead parent has NO RIGHTS towards visitation, etc. ("PARENT VS. THIRD PARTY: “Where the dispute is between a fit parent and a private third party [such as a grandparent], however, both parties do not begin on equal footing in respect to rights to ‘care, custody, and control’ of the children. The parent is asserting a fundamental constitutional right. The third party is not. A private third party has no fundamental constitutional right to raise the children of others. Generally, absent a constitutional statute, the non-governmental third party has no rights, constitutional or otherwise, to raise someone else's child.” McDermott v. Dougherty"). Sorry kids...everywhere!

66. Okay I'm a little confused here.
He has 3 kids. The 2 older ones have Debbie as the mother and he was the father, if that's true how come since he was born african american they don't have those features, like Keidi Klums children.
If it's not true then who's the real father.
And who is the father/mother of Blanket? Was he adopted?
This is so confusing...

67. Are Katherine and Joe Jackson still legally married and I thought that they did not live together. Didn't Janet buy him a house in Las Vegas ?

68. Mother Jackson, an old woman, did not protect her own children and had a hand in raising a bunch of broken individuals. Janet, secret marriages, a brother that married his brother's wife, La Toya who accused her father of molesting her and MJ, all mal-adjusted and old Joe going to the BET awards and giving interviews a day after his boy's death...saying we have plans in the works. Of course, this family will blame everybody but themselves for the death and their own pathetic, parasitic lives, living off of .MJ's fame and $.

69. Grace Rwaramba is not bashing Michael....I'm sure she loved him and was concerned about him...enough so to be THE ONLY one to organize and intervention to try to save him. Grace is not bashing Michael....simply speaking the truth and depicting life as it was in the household and interactions with Katherine and other family members.
This woman is the only one that I fully trust at this time.

70. The nanny is no better than the rest of the leeches:

"What was his involvement with the Nation of Islam?

His links to the black separatist American Muslim group centre around his children’s former nanny Grace Rwaramba. Described as the ‘queen bee’, she had ties to the black militant organisation and its controversial leader, Louis Farrakhan.

The Nation supplied Jackson’s security staff – who have been linked to heavy-handed threats – and Farrakhan’s son-in-law, Leonard Muhammad, was appointed as Jackson’s business manager.

The Nation of Islam was renting the house in California where he died to the pop star for £60,000 a month – although the market rate for similar properties is £15,000 a month.

It also emerged that Jackson’s brother Jermaine, a Muslim, employed a woman from the Nation to look after the children in Michael’s final weeks.

71. Does anyone else think she is a bit old to raise 2 kids. Why the hell can't one of the other numerous younger family members take these children in? Janet last time I checked you have no children why don't you step up???

72. interesting some of the comments.

I admitted my contact and knowledge about MJ and his family is from media. I ask the question of some of those who speak here are you speaking from a position of knowledge? Are you just making asumptiom etc etc?

And again i asks are you all saying what your saying BECAUSE?!!!!!!

73. MJ is not the father of those kids, despite what everyone else wants to believe.

74. Notice that there are no black family members, etc. in any of the "family" photos. Funny that.

Where are all the photos of MJ's children with the Jackson clan?

What a bunch of disgusting leeches.

Will you people please stop relying solely on the tabloids for your information? La Toya's accusations against Joe were recanted because that book was ghost written by her ex-husband, who she accused of some of the exact same charges she leveled at her father, just like the time that she said "Michael was guilty" of molesting Jordy Chandler. Randy Jackson was never married to Jermaine's wife.

BTW, Grace Rwambanana, or whatever her name is, is currently out there calling Michael a terrible father and claiming that the children are "crying for her." No way in Hell is she in it for anything BUT the money. Here's the link:

Don't any of you people read and analyze the news and/or the sources that it comes from? Or... do you just make up your mind and buy whatever suits your agendas?
