this gorgeous man was totally innocent of any wrongdoing. he was purely a nice man and wanted to make the world a better place. i can only feel sorry for his accusers, as they do not understand the term 'caring'.

By lortonio.. Posted August 12 2009 at 5:55 PM.

These pictures give me the creeps to be perfectly honest. Why isn't Michael smiling in any of these pictures? The kids look scared in many of them also. These pictures remind me of "The Addams Family." (from the 1960's television show and the movie which was made based on the show). I appreciate Michael Jackson's incredible talent and the music he made and I have a lot of sympathy for this very troubled man but can't help but think he should not have had children at all. If they even are his biological kids which would be a surprise if ever proven. His whole life is a tragedy imo. He was a beautiful boy who imo mutilated himself with excessive plastic surgery. His change in appearance in the last 15 years was truly shocking and breathtaking. These "family photos" are macabre. I live in the U.S. and grew up watching him, loving his music and having had incredible affection for this man but am deeply saddened by the tragic turn his life took.

By Gerli.. Posted August 10 2009 at 4:23 PM.

What amazes me about the Debbie Rowe crap is that if she were Black, her name would be mud and talked about like she is the scum of the earth for giving up her children, which Debbie Rowe is in my opinion, why now after all of these years does she want to have contact with her children, so you are showing pictures of the children before she gave them up, has she had any kind of contact with her biological children since she was paid off by Michael Jackson, if she was a Black mother in the same situation we would never hear the end of how unfit she was and should not even be allowed visitation or to even mention their name in public, she should not have any say as to how these children are raised whatsoever, she was a dental assistant who saw money $$$$$$$ with Michael and now low and behold she does not have to work another day in her life.

By Beverly.. Posted August 5 2009 at 9:01 AM.

As you can see, Michael Jackson is a good man. He wanted to imitate Christ and has good values. That is why he is a role model for human kind. He is kind and generous. I hope to see you in heaven Micheal. We miss you a lot. Sorry the world was cruel at you, but God will forever make you happy in heaven.

By mj4ever.. Posted August 3 2009 at 11:43 AM.

michael jackson was the best of best. He really made me change. I loved his songs and when i heared that he was dead i jumped up and down sreaming my head off. i was really shaoking to hear it.i hope his soul is safe with god . he is not olone, we are here with him every day and every where

By leriza.. Posted August 2 2009 at 7:11 PM.

Again ,what evil thoughts people have in there hearts to speak ill of the dead or alive it's just not right let him rest. He's a beautiful soul who was termented by haters leave him alone. Stop trying to dim the bright shining star he's up in the sky now and sees all. His soul is pure and innoucent it takes others to turish his heart. leave him be.

By Bella.. Posted July 26 2009 at 5:00 AM.

Mchael Jackson is gone now and it does not make any sense who gave birth to the children, a parent is the one who raised the children. The kids should be able to say who they want to live with, and if any government overturns Michaels will than this is
telling the world that there is no reason to make a will.

By Mary .. Posted July 22 2009 at 8:02 AM.

I know he did nothing, since he was a pure child!

By camila.. Posted July 20 2009 at 9:59 PM.

michael jackson is cool ,good and was a great father to his children but it is true that based on people skin color he shouldnt of changed theway he looked but im not saying he looks uglyhe is hot,sexy and he is a good person so he should have not left us but right now he is in a good and wonderful place that god will look after him.but the most important thing is that he will be looking out for his children and his whole family.god bless michael jackson and his whole entire family.R.I.P MICHAEL JACKSON.THANK YOU

By chelsea zamuria.. Posted July 20 2009 at 12:38 AM.

of course we think to know every moves that this men does...its totally wrong..maybe mj tell his kids about debiee their mother..hey mj was very private..dont you notice!!only god knows ,because is a lot of family pictures went there babies.mj debbie and the kids were a family for 4 years..only then knows....even latoya said she never meet debbie rowe..not even once person to person..its a lot of privacy here..god bless the children..remember mj was a public figure but also a private citizen..thanks..ma

By ma.. Posted July 18 2009 at 4:05 AM.

i agree with CATE. the 2 elder children are old enough to decide whom they are most comfortable to live with and Blanket would of course prefer to stay with them. I would think it best at this point for them to have shared guardianship b/t 2 adults, much like a marriage, with a 3rd party, at best a therapist, to oversee they are not neglected or exploited. thus if one of the two guardians
were deemed or temporarily too old or busy, the other guardian could take over. MJ stated clearly in his will what he thought was best for them, but as children are not property, it is not binding. really a DCF therapist who is not on the Jackson payroll needs to be an advocate for the children's wishes. i do hope he is at peace, though with all this mortal combat, i doubt he is resting well. it needs to stop. the man is dead-leave him the hell alone.

By AAN.. Posted July 13 2009 at 11:24 PM.

By bobbbbbbb.. Posted July 12 2009 at 3:28 PM.

Two things are pretty clear: Those kids are not his but he was still their father and a pretty good one. I do not understand why he didn't want his genes in those kids, why did he do that? It's the story of a lifetime, MJ did whatever he wanted. A real genius, but propably some kind of emotional disabled or something, I dont know. I love this man, he was magic but there are things in his life which are just wierd....

By Ina.. Posted July 11 2009 at 11:23 PM.

Why do the children in the photos look blonde and fair but dark haired and dark skinned at the memorial???

can anyone tell me if Michael Jackson is the real biological dad of its three children. thanks

By J W.. Posted July 9 2009 at 11:36 PM.

Debbie should have every right to be part of her children's lives. The children need to know their mother and be in a stable enviornment. I think what she did along time ago was what Michael and her had decided on about the children living with him. I think she wants those children because she loves them not because of the money. Don't make a mountain out of mole hill over this situation.

By Kathrine.. Posted July 9 2009 at 9:08 AM.

I truely thinnk Michael wanted his skin lighter for his children, not becuase he was ashamed of being black.

By anne caroline.. Posted July 9 2009 at 1:04 AM.

surrogate contract period. if his lawyers did not make the agreement for abandonment of her rights to the children ironclad they are guilty of malpractice.

By cate.. Posted July 8 2009 at 8:01 PM.

The children should decide. They are old enough now to choose what they want to do. If they have had no contact with Debbie for 11 years, then they shouldn't just be thrust back to her, that would be like going to a stranger.
The Jacksons clearly love them, as was shown yesterday. And if they do stay with Katherine, Joe won't be anywhere near them as he doesn't live with Katherine any more.
To be honest, I don't get why people are getting all worked up about whether he is "biologically" their father. It takes more than DNA to be a father, and Michael loved his children dearly, and they adored him.
These kids are not going to be blind to what is being said about their daddy, and it's just going to confuse them even more.
If Debbie gets Paris and Prince, what happens to Blanket?
And why do we bother to write wills if the wishes are not being respected?
I pray that whatever happens to these children, they will be happy.

By Becky.. Posted July 8 2009 at 7:07 PM.

a real mum could never put a price tag on there kids. so in my eyes she only had them for the money. R.I.P MJ u will be really missed xxxxx

By julie .. Posted July 8 2009 at 6:38 PM.

This is not the 1st case of using a surrogate mother! I believe that usually the surrogate mother steps out of the picture once the baby comes unless it is otherwise arranged beforehand. I know that surrogates are usually paid for their time off and all medical bills, etc. are pd. I am sure that not many other people have pd 7 or 8 million to a surrogate! I am sure that MJ and all of his high powered associates had all of the t's crossed and i's dotted as far as the children being legally his and a parent DOES have a right to leave their
child(ren) to someone. Most people do have it
stipulated where the kids go in the event of their death.

By KAREN.. Posted July 8 2009 at 5:03 PM.

It makes you wonder what people could have said about MJ if his children hadn't materialized in his life. In some way they have shown the world through their love for him the true Michael that we would never have known about but for them. Whatever happens now to the little ones I hope it will be for the best for them. They are beautiful and Michael was beautiful. He is forever in our hearts.

By Jenni.. Posted July 8 2009 at 6:39 AM.

Um.... she wasn't a surrogate - she was married to Jackson at the time and they agreed to artificially insemination by someone else. She relinquished custody when they divorced. Jackson used her then got rid of her. She would have had fat chance of of fighting the Jackson jugonaut. I smell bullying here. He didn't try that on with Presley did he !
The normal route is to consider the welfare of the children first above all adults. If they go to their biological mother then that has been deemed the best for them.
Rowe is in danger of being unjustly crucified by modern media.
Of course wills can be overturned. They've just excluded his mother as executor and put it in the hands of 2 businessmen.

By Jlli Roberts.. Posted July 8 2009 at 5:12 AM.

people will always talk always make wrong statements accuse him of bad things the truth of the matter is its all down to jealously money grabbing two faced people i realy think its about time people seen he was a legend he has the respect of millions of fans worldwide who to this day loved him and always will people should keep there rude comments to themselves and let him rest in peace now hes gone hopefully to a better place my heart goes out to his children may god bless them and keep them safe.
R.I.P michael you will always shine in my heart xxxx

By maz.. Posted July 8 2009 at 1:28 AM.

I'm a blackman.What's all the fuss African Americans are complaining about.The real MJ does like being Black.He goes to great lenths making himself white.Look at his pale skin,he strightens his hair,the Afro is gone,The typical black round nose is shaped into sharp nose.He marries a white woman and agrees to have a white donor sperm resulting in white children.So,African black Amaricans,to the contrary of potraying him as a black Idol,he's turned white well before he died.

By netty.. Posted July 7 2009 at 12:54 PM.

Michael was a superstar and had to endure what goes with stardom. It is sad that he is no more, and it is sad that people are branding him a bad person, they will have done the same thing if they were in his shoes. So all god diggers and evil minded people should just back off and let the star rest in peace.

By Matilda, Cape Caost, Ghana .. Posted July 7 2009 at 1:40 PM.

"It's a huge responsibility but I'll keep my word if I have to" I wouldn't have said that these are words of a devoted Grandmother - if I HAVE to???

I know I wouldn't want my children to raised by anyone who felt they 'HAD' to do it.

Hmmm....I do wonder how this is all going to pan out....

By Tabitha.. Posted July 7 2009 at 1:46 PM.

Whatever the outcome of the custody of the children is. Let's just hope they are placed where it is in their best interest to be. We know she said interviews he was a great father. We don't know the real Debbie Rowe we just know her from what has been said about her and what she has said in the very few interviews she's had. But we do know what is written in that will. And one thing is for sure he adored his children. And that is so apparent in interviews and pictures and how he tried to protect his children. In her interviews she has said the same, he was a great father. So as a great father he chose who he believed would raise his children best. I just hope this is over soon those children are mourning their father and are old enough to know they are being fought over. Let's hope Michael's children have a happy loving future. That's what he wanted for them.

By sandra.. Posted July 7 2009 at 8:02 AM.

Respect Michael Jackson's will. That's all i can say, we human didn't respect him before, now that he is dead people are fighting for his will, "to be or not to be"...he is a Star and always will be..R.I.P MJ

By cathy.. Posted July 7 2009 at 7:27 AM.

Still crying over your death michael. I lost my mom the same day and the pain in my heart is unbearable. May you rest in Peace my beloved King of PoP and God bless your children.

By Lillian Robles.. Posted July 7 2009 at 6:49 AM.

Everyone is painting MJ as a bad person, every adult can think 4 ourself. If Debbie didn't need the money that much why would she do it. As a mother i wouldn't give up custody of my children (Think people).

She was paid good good money If her father is very very rich and she doesn't need the money why do it because the dam money is the father own not hers. She needed money 4 herself.

Don't blame MJ he did what a father or mother would do in what ever situation they are in.

R.I.P
MICHAEL JACKSON
YOUR FRANS WILL
MISS YOUUU

By Lynn.. Posted July 7 2009 at 5:03 AM.

Michael Jackson created playmates, not children he would parent. Joe Jackson made some rather telling comments last week. He said that the kids had never played with other children and basically said they didn't get the education they deserved thus far. I am sure Debbie was intimidated into dropping her last custody bid ans was kept away. Now that Michael is dead, she should fight vigorously for them. She is their best hope.

By Adrianna.. Posted July 7 2009 at 4:28 AM.

Debbie Rowe should just back off these kidds does not belong with her to their grandma when she is not capable then to Diana Debbie back off u must did something really bad to Micheal i cant belive Micheal is gone R.I.P U ROCK MY WORLD

By JOAN S PHILIP.. Posted July 7 2009 at 3:54 AM.

Debbie Rowe had a agreement with MJ....NOT with Katherine or Diana Ross...Is Debbie any worst than a mother giving a baby up for adoption or a surrogate mother?....I would think she knew that MJ could give the children the world and she could not....But he died...changes things now...If she is the biological mother she should have her children....Everyone says,"she just wants the money"...that is what the executors are for, to protect the children's future...We can all see that MJ is not the biological father....did he legally adopt the kids?

By Donna.. Posted July 7 2009 at 3:05 AM.

MICHAEL Jackson, was one most favorite in Puerto Rico, all portoricans loved him, for his music, dance and the trajectory for all scenes in the world. We remember forever.

God, have Michael in a good places and in a big scenes in the sky. God Bless for your babies.

By Solamina Castro.. Posted July 7 2009 at 2:34 AM.

The man is Dead!!! Let the man rest in Peace!!! What satisfaction are u getting from digging up his life!!!! His last wish was for his kids to be with his mother or Diana Ross!! Respect his wish!!!

Y'all need to get a life!!!!
Why are u trying to damage his image and his legacy???????????

By Tamara B.. Posted July 7 2009 at 1:46 AM.

If you saw the video on TV today, Debbie Rowe being called Maddy would be correct. She was shown to have a temper worse than Joe Jackson. She was threatening to beat up the media and they had to keep bleeping her language. At least Joe Jackson can control his temper in public.

By Rowe has a bad temper.. Posted July 7 2009 at 1:18 AM.

NO Debbie should NOT get the children. She didn't even make a big enough fight to get them in the first place. THEY DON'T KNOW HER!!!! They should ask the kids who they want to be with, they're not that young, they can answer a simple question like that!
I don't know about her "trying to get custody" or whatever but obviously she didn't fight hard enough and she was even quoted saying "I didn't become a mother to be a mother..." And she was video taped saying that she gave them to Michael as a "gift". She shouldn't get them back...

SERIOUSLY PEOPLE THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW HER!!!!

If she gets them there's something seriously wrong. AND Michael was AQUITTED of his charges, Michael never did anything harmful or wrong to children and everyone that believes he did is SOOO naieve and brainwashed by the media, get your own brain! The Bible says "BELIEVE NONE OF WHAT YOU HEAR AND HALF OF WHAT YOU SEE".

By Carolyn Powers.. Posted July 7 2009 at 12:48 AM.

poor Michael! he looked so uncomfortable in that video!

By Lil Jackson.. Posted July 7 2009 at 12:57 AM.

were Jackson & Rowe still married when the youngest child came along?
If so, she may have legal rights to that child as well.
I cannot believe how stupid everyone is who has an opinion.
A married couple has children. They divorce. Father has primary custody. Father dies. MOTHER gets the children.
MJ is DEAD. He has NO SAY--nothing! And even if he did, he has a track record of DOING BAD THINGS to children!
Maybe its a good thing for those poor children that that FREEK has died.
BTW-listen to the WOMAN who wrote "man in the mirror" singing. (I don't know her name-it is easy to find on youtube©).
HER voice is the one that Jackson PRETENDED was HIS!!!
It wasn't even HIS voice!!
Maybe when he was a little child, but I tell you that woman artist was the voice that everyone thinks is MJ.
Please WAKE-UP PeoPle!!
The stupidity astounds me!
The children go to their mom and that's final!

By hbic.. Posted July 6 2009 at 11:30 PM.

Michael Jackson was inocent of this charges.People makes things that is not true

By Jose.. Posted July 6 2009 at 10:42 PM.

If Katerine gets custody, she will not live long enough to raise them. Also, she will let Joe have acess to the kids and the money. They will be abused and thier money will be squandered on whatever toy, Joe wants. The judge should put the children in the care of Grace and see that she has access to the money she needs to raise them. Didn't Michael realize that by giving his Mother custody, Joe can get to them. And Diana does not know these kids well enough to raise them and care for them. She is too old for one thing. Turniing their money over to her does not seem like a good idea either. Who gets the kids and the money that comes with them, if something happens to her? Michael left a mess. He should have though this through.

By Eve.. Posted July 6 2009 at 9:48 PM.

She gave the kids to Michael to raise. She thought Michael would be the one to raise them. She wasn't counting on him dying and someone else raising them.

By steve moore.. Posted July 6 2009 at 9:36 PM.

even if they were not michael jackson kids he loved him very much ....so dabby rowe should not take the costudy for his children.rest in peace michael,you will always be in our hearts..............

By diellza.. Posted July 6 2009 at 8:37 PM.

In T.V, i saw a phsycic that saw MJ's dealth coming before July and wow he was right. The interviewer asked "what is doing to happen to his children" and the guy said the kids are going to stay with Katherene in Encino,CA. He also said that Janet Jackson was going to become a mother figure for them!

By Jasmine.. Posted July 6 2009 at 8:14 PM.

Before one puts blame on anyone, just remember one thing. MJ was powerful enough to use his money and influence to buy anything. Fortunately in this country, children are not bought or sold, and any parental rights either of them had should be honored by the laws of the state of California. It doesn't matter how much money was exchanged for the right to live with the children. I see Ms. Rowe as more of a victim than someone who wants the money left to them. No matter what happens, Ms. Rowe will, unfortunately, always be portrayed negatively as a "golddigger." It's all very sad.

By Terri.. Posted July 6 2009 at 7:21 PM.

Helloooo people.. who claims to have the divine right to pass moral judgment on others here? What makes you people think that Debbie "SOLD" her children? It was obvious that MJ wanted someone to birth children for him for a fee and Debbie obliged. Bond between mother and child is always there from birth to death regardless whatever happens in between. Now that MJ is gone, Debbie would be the best person to give normality to the children. With due respect, Grandma Katherine and Diana Ross are a bit old to keep up with the teens...

By lullaby.. Posted July 6 2009 at 7:02 PM.

A Surrogant is just that. I don't believe that Debbie has the right to the kids. At all. If she does get custody, that means that all surrogant mothers can come back years later and claim the kids that they carried, and got paid for. Micheal did what he was supposed to do. His will should be honored. The kids are better off with his family. Let the man be in peace.

By Serena.. Posted July 6 2009 at 7:02 PM.

I'm a mother of one child. As a mother, I'd lose my sense being away with my child in exchange for a price. I love my child & my child is priceless for me & never in a single moment should I give up my costudy to my child for a price if I were to divorce my husband. Debbie dont have one but even two children...where is her sanity, her affection or her love as a mother when she gave up her costudy for a price tag? What kind of mother would she be raising her kids in the future? SHAME! That's why I would understand why MJ mentioned his mother or his close friend as the guardian of his children...because as a sane, loving & affectionate parent, he would surely be concern & fear his children's future if Debbie will have the costudy of them. As a mother, I would pray the God will enlighten the minds of the judge & the jurries over this matter and give the right costudy of the three children to person, whom MJ whole-heartedly know, has the best capabilities in raising his child better that their surrogate mom.
Your a true and compassionate parent MJ. You'll always be remembered.

By vanessa.. Posted July 6 2009 at 7:25 PM.

It doesn't matter what any of you think about Debbie Rowe, she IS their mother!! And if anybody
knows, if you've seen enough of Oprah, these kids
will eventually want to be part of their mothers life.
Michael Jackson trusted Debbie enough to have
these children. I hope she gets them.

By shirleyA.. Posted July 6 2009 at 8:02 PM.

though rowe gave out her children for the money nobody knows underwhat condition she did that maybe under pressure.all thesame she is stll the kids mother.she should b allowed to visit the kids and build a bond with them and the same love shuld also extend to prinec 11.when they are old enough they ll decide who to b with.

By chinazo uchebo.. Posted July 6 2009 at 7:47 PM.

I dont think micheal is the natural father, but then the mother is despicable to give up her children for money, she doesn't deserve them back. God help these poor children, being raised in this bizarre family

By pauline.. Posted July 6 2009 at 6:50 PM.

These kids only blood relation is Debbie Rowe, she deserves her children.

Sadly, these kids were really nothing more than a science experiment to Michael....and maybe some warped form of a status symbol.....but certainly not blood relations.

Why did he feel the need to create children with none of his own genetic make up? There's millions of poor children all around the world that he could have made happy, but he chose to make Turkey baster children.

This man's mind was deeply warped by fame, money, and fortune. I pray his sould can find some peace now.

Jacko's family should keep the custody. Debbie Rowe might be the birth mother, but she had entered a surrogate agreement with MJ, which means that she did him a favor. Is not like she wanted to have his children becauser she loved him, she agreed to be a surrogate for money. Jacko was a good dad and she just wants more cash, because now he is dead and those kids get the rights to all his future revenue...

Debbie Rowe was a surrogate plain and simple. You have a baby and you give it up for money. She got her money and now the children need to be cared for by their family the ones that know them and love them The Jacksons. Rowe is just a surrogate. Michael only married her so his children would know that they had a mother. But two meetings in all these years does not a mother make. Just like a father just because you make one doesn't make you a dad. I fshe truly cared for the kids she would take her money I'm sure she wants more and run.

On a purely legal note.... Ms. rowe did TERMINATE her parental rights to Prince and Paris. thus she is not the PARENT of either child nor does she have ANY future claim or controlling interest in their lives. This is what happens to ANY birthmother who CHOOSES to relinquish her rights. By giving the two (or god forbid 3) children to Ms. rowe's custody the court would be saying that ANY subsequent birthmother could then interrupt the life of the child she gave up when that child's PERMANENT and LEGAL family had tragedy strike. What a bunch of shenenigans that would be. As a birthmother I feel sympathy for her situation but the fact remains those children ARE NO LONGER HERS!

Hello, from Pittsburgh,PA in the USA !
Michael's children do not look at all like him!
He was and will always be a musical genius.
I'll watch the memorial for him on TV tomorrow.
It will be unforgettable !

Just a short sentence here, HE STATED IN HIS WILL, who should have his children, why do we go through soooooo much trouble to write up a will if, somebody can decide what is right or wrong, these were legally MICHEALS kids, and no matter who he wanted to raise them he chose that person.

She should get the children back because she gave birth to them. People w/money sometimes pushes people to the point that they have no other choice in what happens. He could have made her life miserable is she hadn't agreed to a settlement. He isn't the father so let the biological mom have them back with close contact with MJ family and w/ visitation. This would only make sense for the children.

I have read everyone comment it's really SAD about MIcheal I believe he was great NO one will ever replace him or his MUSIC at all. and as far as Debbie Rowe you sold your children gave them up for money! I certainly hope the will stands and that
his mom Katherine can keep the kids and raised them as the way he wanted I am sure he trusted his MOM with all his heart who better than his MOM! go kathrine dont let her get away with it she ONLY wants MONEY!!! not fair at all. Michael may you rest in peace you will never be fogotten.

Debby Rowe is nothing more than a brood mare.

what kind of sicko would take a baby out of the hospital before the mother could see it? They were still married at the time!

Debbie may have decided it was in the best interest of the children to step back. A nasty custody fight (after an agreement) against all of MJ's money and fame plus the terrible publicity a custody battle would receive, isn't something children understand from either parent or appreciate under any circumstances. Now that MJ has passed, the court should rule on what is best for the children, not what Michael "requested" in what is now known to be his Last Will and Testament.

The children are 11 and 12 years old and probably have a voice of their own. what do they want? We are so eager to speak for them and be judgmental outsiders. Really how much do we know about the life inside the jackson house(s)? There are so many questions like; why was jackson so paranoid about loosing the kids? Were they a right of passage for him? In a larger than life reality it is easy to loose sight of what the real issues are. Lets not forget there is two sides to every story and we have only heard his. I hope the love we all have for the jacksons doesn't get in the way of what is right. I also hope and pray we can show the world we have an open mind to the rights and well being of the children. No matter what that happens to be.

michael jackson's kids should stay with his mom and not his wife who is just in this whole thing for money
!!!!

By jamie.. Posted July 6 2009 at 6:14 PM.

No one will ever convince me those kids are half african-american. Since she was willing to be a surrogate mother why did they chose a white donor? Could it be because MJ was hoping he could pass them off as his as he turned whiter by the day? Why would he want kids that are no way related to him instead of half african-american and half white. that doesn't make sense at all. Since she is their mother by blood she should raise them. Here they are, all white trying to grow up in a black family. God help them.

By Sally.. Posted July 6 2009 at 6:14 PM.

I think it is great that all of his children are white, but people are concentrating on this great black man. Michael didn't see color...neither should we!

By seeonecolor.. Posted July 6 2009 at 5:56 PM.

Get real people. Who in the world would have the means to fight someone who was as rich, with powerful friends from one end of the globe to the other, for custody of their children? I guess it would be another person in the same position as MJ. The grandmother and Ross have no claim to those children. However, money talks in this country. My prayers will be with their Mom to have custody and to be able to live a life where they will be loved and cherished. She gave up her parental rights! Yes, but can you imagine under what circumstances? Put yourself in her place. Someone mentioned that she only wanted the money that came with the children. What about the family that wants them now? Get a grip!

first off, no one here knows Michael Jackson or Debbie Rowe. No ones knows their relationship together or her relationship with her chilkdren. It is not unfathomable to think that Michael didn't have the means to keep her away from the kids no matter how hard she would try to see them. She didn't sell her kids, she presented herself from the beginning to be a surrogate for Michael Jackson, they knew each other, he had to have trusted her on some level. She was perceived by the Press exactly how Michael wanted her to be and now that he is gone, possibly the truth will come out. Michael was a master marketer, he was taught by the best, Berry Gordy. Michael was 12 when the Jackson 5 debuted but they said he was 9 because it sounded better, Diana Ross didn't discover the Jackson 5, Tommy Chong (yes of Cheech and Chong) actually discovered them. Michael spent his whole life creating all that buzz, creating that mystery that surrounded him and he ultimately took it too far which led to him being accused and people trying to take advantage of this perception that Michael Jackson was a freak. SO now in his death..he will be remember as a legend, and inovator, as well he should be.
