my real take on this?? much a do about nothing!

John Branca is the one who will execute this WILL.. there must be so much provisos in this.. concerning those kids.. the fact, Rowe was categorically 'left' out by MJ is a great clue.

it also means Mj knew what she was about-- like most people in his life.. $$$$$$$$'S!

[Chinmusic]

I can't imagine that there was ang semblance of normality living with a guy who was taking 50 grand worth of meds a month

[sexyrexy]

ha.. normality for kids are what they grew up with.. and to t his i allude to fact.. these kids KNOW their Jackson relatives.­. people familiar to them.. NOT ROWE

OK.. TWITTY BIRD?!

[Bude]

Taking time out from the bath house Rex.

[sexyrexy]

phew. when all is said & done.. the botrtom line is: these kids should live with ones who they know to keep some semblance of normalcy in their lives! changing their whole structure will totally mess them up.. as it's bad enough as it is losing the only parent they knew/know.

they should continue living with t he Jacksons & keeping a tie to MJ's musical legacy..as they'll constantly be surrounded by it- and reminded of their father's gifts.


with ROWE?? everything will be foreign.. new, unknown.. they will miss Mj even more.

The kids all need to stay together. They shouldn't be separated.
Giving them to Mama Jackson might have been a good idea 20 years ago, but she's 79 and I don't belive she could keep up with 3 young children.
Keep them the he)) away from Joe. He's one to be leary of. Remember his interview with Sharpton? Took the time to plug his new music business. Michael was an afterthought.
Diana Ross at 65 is too old to raise these kids. Michael obviously wasn't thinking into the future about who he was going to give custody of his kids in the event of his death.
Debbie Rowe may have been the biological mother, (DNA proof needed), however, she said several times she didn't want the kids. Shameful that she's willing to split up the kids. This reeks of money.

Then, who's left?

I think people should refrain from all the nasty comments about Debbie Rowe. None of us really knows all the details in this case or what really happenned or where the children should be placed. There are a lot of complicated issues in this case. I hope a judge carefully looks at all the custody choices and make a good decision. Maybe the best solution will be shared custody or something. Katherine Jackson could be the best choice, but then again, it's unclear how involved Joe Jackson would be in raising the children and Michael said he was physically and verbally abused by his father, so she might not be the best choice. Some reports say that Rowe gave up her kids for money, others say she had visitation or wanted more visitation than she got. She also made certain decisions when Jackson was alive and a parent and now she may feel differently now that he is not around to take care of the kids. Maybe after a judge reviews everything he/she may feel someone else should get the kids given the difficulty of the situation (e.g., Diana Ross, a Jackson sibling, etc.). Hopefully the parties involved can come to an amicable agreement. The media should stay out of it and people should stop hurling insults at the various parties.

[sexyrexy]

huh??? from what you just post.. you're the one making a simple issue --complica­ted..

MJ said it all in his WILL.. he wants his mother to look after his kids.. in her passing.. DIANA ROSS.. full stop, obviously, HE KNEW what he was doing totally cutting Rowe OUT.. she knows it too.. But $$$$$$ IS A great incentive,isn't it?

[Trueheart]

Point is, he may have wanted to cut her out of the children's lives, but the law says he can't do that. No matter what kind of financial deal they made, he married her and gave his last name to their children. One spouse can not buy the children from the other spouse. Children are not property.

[froggyola]

Anyone would be better than the dysfuntional Jackson Family. God, give these kids a chance to grow up healthy and happy.

[sexyrexy]

HUH.. WITH rOWE??? by her own admission, she's not maternal?? a Harley chick swirling tequila & dos equis???

yap.. if that's your definition of healthy..

[Bude]

It's about time the birth mother accepted her responsibilities. A mothers love is best for these traumatized children. She can help the kids recover. Hopefully, the Jackson's will realize that this is best.

[justwaitandsee]

A mother's love is best, well I guest that depends who the mother is

[Bude]

The birth mother I believe.

[NoSillyName]

The three children should say together. They've just lost the only father they've ever known; they don't know Rowe. Why should they lose each other? With the Jackson's, they will have a large extended family that loves Michael. Rowe seemingly has no family aside from the horses and would possibly speak ill of their father.

As for Joe, I think the other family members being around would insulate them from him and he would not be able to treat them like he treated MIchael.

[marc1antony]

holding out for more money to go away?

[Bude]

She always seemed like a wonderful lady. I'm sure the children will be very happy with her. They will get a chance to live healthy, normal, fulfilling, lives.

[realistnotsocialist]

right. you need a reality check.

[findingmuse]

i think he's being sarcastic.

.........y­ou ARE being sarcastic, aren't you, bude??

he's being sarcastic. :)

[sexyrexy]

you like her so much-- I bet she'll give you a great ride behind her HARLEY..sh­e's a biker chick! loves her dos equis & tequila.. bet she caN drink you under the table.. toots!!

don't mess with her..

[pc51]

I don't care for what she did at all - but after hearing all of the horror stories about Joe Jackson - maybe she thought this day would never come, but since it has, she wants to spare them what Michael went through.

[Artamentous]

Keeping them away from Joe JAckson sounds like a good idea. What a loon.

[CUL8R]

I feel really bad for the kids. They're about to go through hell.

[Bude]

She gave birth to these children, she is the mother and should be allowed to raise them in peace.

[abigail1]

she gave them up, twice, got paid for them. She is no ones mother.

[realistnotsocialist]

she gave birth to them but she has not been part of their lives therefore she is not the mother sorry....G­iving birth to a child does not make one a good mother.

[sexyrexy]

which she ever did..

she handed them over to MJ as soon as they were borne.. that's it in a nutshell.

she never had any relations nor ties with them.

[sexyrexy]

huh..bude.­. raise.. raise.. HELL SHE NEVER WANTED TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THEM.. !

[sexyrexy]

you keep insisting in this rubbish?? you keep forgeting conveniently she bore them for $$$$'s & do MJ a favor.. NOT bec she wanted to b e a mother..no­r waas that relations.­. love..
and YES! you're just as 2-faced and flaky as JOE THE PLUMBER..l­ol..

[moonwatcher]

There are grandparents who have never seen their grand children who got custody when their children, the grand children's parents have died.

[realistnotsocialist]

they never gave them up so to speak...wh­ereas she did.
