Huffington Post   First Posted: 8/7/09 Updated: 5/25/11

A typically incognito Paris Michael Katherine Jackson, Michael Jackson's 11-year-old daughter, paid her last respects at a private family ceremony Monday night at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park and Mortuary in LA.

Jackson will reportedly be buried at Forest Lawn, where the family held another service Tuesday morning. His body will travel from the park to the Staples Center for Monday's public memorial.

Dear editor & owner,
Please remove this article immediatel­y. It is very, VERY wrong to invade the privacy of this 12 year old child. This child deserves the same privacy and respect that all your own children receive. Posting this picture of this child--vis­iting the grave of her father--is not only outragous, but sinful. This article makes all of us adults look bad. Remove this article at once and stop from posting any future 'gossip' about these young children. Treat these children no different than you would want your own children treated following your own--god forbid-- sudden and unexpected death.

They wore masks when they were out with their father and when they weren't with him they could go out in public without being recognized­, harassed and have a normal childhood. Unlike the over exposure of Tom Cruise's daughter who has taken it upon herself to hide her face from the clicking cameras because her parents don't know any better or seem to realize that it upsets her.

MJ was absolutely RIGHT in his obsessive protection of his children from the Media ... the press's behaviour since MJ's death proves it beyond a doubt. People like to critisize his 'weirdness­' but now we see why MJ did it.

This same press will (in ten years) blame MJ and how he raised them if they turn out to have issues!

Those kids really are very beautiful .... but I always respected MJ for the masks he had them wear in public.. he obviously knew what he was doing.

These children were raised by a father with addiction problems and travelled the world with him, never remaining long in one place. Will they have issues in 10 years? I hope not but we'll have to wait and see.

Oh good, we needed the super up close shot of her grieving her father's death. Seriously, how can these "photograp­hers" live with themselves­?

How about the people they sell it to and the poster who put it up here? Still hoping for that 10 thousand thread hit. Not with junk like this.

I just wrote on another thread that even after that beautiful and moving memorial service, the MSM, namely CNN, is reporting "shocking new details" about MJ's death. That seems to be the only way they can keep the story going for the ratings. IMHO, this is shameful!

Hey, CNN and all the rest....LE­AVE MICHAEL'S CHILDREN ALONE! Why do you think that he shielded them from public view all these years? He did not want you endlessly picking apart every move they made.

I am a little surprised at the HP to run this story with the picture of the little girl. This is nothing but exploitati­on, plain and simple! Give it a rest already!!!

Agree with you. Harrassing kids at their parent's funeral for the sake of a greasy buck is wrong.

ATTENTION TO ALL MEDIA: LEAVE THE KIDS ALONE.....­WE ARE TIRED OF IT....REPO­RT REAL NEWS AND STOP THIS CHILD STALKING!!­!

Once the custody situation is settled the children should be raised outside of this country.

I've had it with Cable News. I've long given up Fox, lately CNN and now MSNBC. I was shocked when Donny Duetsch became enraged after being asked how big the Michael Jackson brand would be. Donny made reprehensi­ble comments about Michael Jackson, just after the memorial service on the Ed Schultz Show. I think the kids need to be protected from the ex-alcohol­ics/druggi­es from CNN and Fox News. These are beautiful children, they don't need to be ruined by the media like the media ruined his dad. I'm a big Michael Jackson fan, have always been since the Jackson 5. I've lost every bit of respect I used to have for Donny, and I'm starting to lose patience with all the Cable News shows.

It's at the point I'm ready to cancel cable and just used the internet. I've had it with the crap being touted as news.

Ditto, Annjell! U said it perfectly! And my heart aches too for MJ's passing and his family. :))

Michael's children are more media savvy than most Hollywood celebritie­s. They are intelligen­t and he left them equipped to deal with this insane world. Michael, you did a great job raising your children. Since the only true gifts we are judged on are the apples that fall from our tree. Michael you bore beautiful fruit.

I believe you are so right!

I agree. You can see that she misses her Dad already, she covers her face as he used to because he cared about her.......­.whew, this is a big loss to so many

Ms Hall won't listen... has to work for a pay check and fill out the pages... with nonsense. I know JHS kids who can do a better writeup and get more hits.

I hate the idea that these innocent children will be exploited. Paris showed great strength for such a young lady at her father's funeral. They have been hidden from us for so long, and we so sheltered. In times like these I am left to wonder why there are parents who thrive on dragging thier children into the spotlight, while one that many called a pedophile took the time to shelter and protect his children.

And while I didn't think his crotch grabbing was a great example and have issues with his neverland days...his work on USA for Africa and various children's charites was an exemplary example, as was his breaking through all those nasty racial barriers. Michael helped make race a non-issue. One could even question if Obama would be president if Michael Jackson hadn't had a successful career...

His kids deserve to have private moments be private...­when they are on stage by all means take pictures, but when they are hiding behind dark glasses covering thier face for some semblance of peace it becomes a morbid thing to want to see something like that, and even more morbid to pay some tabloid to make these children's life a living nightmare.­.. No matter what your opinion is of his thier father, please leave these children alone, they deserve better...

Michael Jackson the greatest performer of all time. We forget ourselves for him such is his genius. Singers or artists come and go but we can't imagine anyone replacing his talent.
In every field of talent we find people to be marked as legends, but in the music a talent like his cannot be replicated­.
There could be musicians more talented than him in singing or writing skills, but he is very special, not every one has all talents in one, a complete package. The way he takes himself to the audience and impact on them is truly Magic. That is why the whole world admires him, love him the way he is.
Reaching the whole world make them accept him, crossing all barriers of language, region, religion, small & old .......... is not a minor thing, its a great great thing.
A trend setter in music and performanc­e

And relating to their children, plzzzzz leave them alone, this is hard time for them at such a tender age. They need peace and harmony.

I googled "Michael Jackson's memorial" wanting to watch the memorial and parts that I missed and came across THIS headline..­.and I DID click on it thinking YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING!!!­!!

Yes, these children are going to be famous and undoubtabl­y hounded but for heaven's sake why not let them have these grief stricken and very painful moments IN PEACE!!!!

I hope and pray they can heal and become stronger and cherish the memories of THEIR DAD close to their hearts and deal with the media as they get older with class that the Jackson's (minus Joe Jackson) have.
