Michael Jackson kids get £750k protection

GUARD: Prince Michael

13/09/2009

MICHAEL Jackson's three children will be guarded round-the-clock by a £750,000-a-year team of top bodyguards.

Jackson family lawyers have devised the protection plan for Prince Michael, 12, Paris, 11, and Blanket, seven, after secretly meeting top security firms in Los Angeles.

The dramatic move comes after fears the children will be targeted by kidnappers or stalkers following the death of Jacko in June.

A team of six bodyguards - dubbed the A Team - have been drafted in and are trained to fight and deal with kidnap and hostage crises.

The children will continue to be schooled at their £4 million home in California, which is considered less of a threat than going to a school.

A family source said: "Michael's death has made them more of a target."

Another said: "They'll be guarded like royalty."

Sad Paris still wears his shirts

JACKO'S heartbroken daughter Paris wears one of her dead father's shirts EVERY DAY, the superstar's sister LaToya has revealed.

"She misses her dad so much - and she's constantly saying so," said Latoya on US TV. "Her love for him is so great."

In an emotional interview she revealed Paris, Prince Michael and Blanket are still being shielded from everyday life - and are only allowed to watch the Disney channel on TV.

She said: "They are receiving grief counselling and are doing fine."

LaToya said of her own grief at his loss: "He was the closest thing to a God that I know."

They were always jealous of Michael being successful and they couldnt stand to see him happy that's why they tried all they could to make him feel bad about himself by calling him that. Haters, i know that you people are so idle that you take your time reading everything that has to do with my MJJ but i want you all to always know that where there are 10 haters, there'll be 200,000 fans so y not stop the hate?

o.k. I honestly did not think the two oldest children were mj's biological kids. Not because of the tabloid media or the sensationalism but because i really thought mj was worried about passing his vitiligo and lupus on. i figured by the time blanket was born, he had figured out how to medically remove the vitiligo genes as not to pass them on, and blanket in my heart and mind is mj's biological child. Well after seeing this picture of prince, I am starting to believe more and more that prince is his biological child. That boy looks like he has vitiligo. check out his neck in the pic. as far as looking like MJ, to me I can see him and his family in all 3 kids and being of mixed race, I know that mixed children come in a variety of colors and features. I am black, american indian and white. I am dark with dark eyes and dark hair, but european features. my son is 75% black cause his father is 100% black and then he gets my 3 nationalities. That boy is white. he has blondish brown hair and hazel eyes. his skin is actually lighter than prince's. i guess my mom's family came out in him. she must have strong genes. his features match his dad exactly so you know it is his child, but everything else came from the white side of my family. very unique and wonderful! O.k. Sorry, got off topic a little. Back to MJ's kids protection. His kids need and deserve tons of security. I worry about them everyday and I understand why he covered them in public. He wanted to protect them sooooooooo much. Look at how crazy the media is and MJ's fans. Some of us are pretty out there too and his kids need to be protected from that craziness. Their WHOLE world was turned upside down when he died. They must feel like they are living in the twillight zone right now. I cannot wait to see what wonderful, beautiful and giving adults these 3 kids will grow up to be. A message to Prince, Paris and Blanket. I will keep you in my thoughts and pray that you live the best life you can now that your daddy is an angel in heaven. Just remember how much your daddy loves you and how much he wanted you to be loved and to love the world. I know that he is smiling down on you and you will all 3 make him very, very proud!
I love mj and his kids and I miss him very much.
RIP MJ!

I am still crying over the news that I heard. I wish the best for Michael's Jackson kids. Paris, Prince, Blanket I love you so much. Be strong because I do believe that you can do anything if you set your mind through it okay. So, never give up on yourself and believe that GOD is with you all the time.

Everything this Man did or said is still being analyzed
And everyone thats doing it "Don't have a clue" and "No shame either." I hope you're aware that what goes around comes right back at you!! And for those people, sling crap at The Jacksons (Michael), you won't be able to handle a fraction of what you're putting that Family through. And hopefully you'll see soon. His poor children can't watch TV, for fear of some envious idiot remarks.

LOVE YOU MICHAEL

By MARY HUEY.. Posted September 13 2009 at 8:48 PM.

Yes please STOP CALLING HIM JACKO. Enough is enough!!!

By liabantani.. Posted September 13 2009 at 5:16 AM.

It is all just so sad........I have been overwhelmed by all of this. I truly believe Michael's advisors pushed and enabled the drug situation to gain control. Who could have endured the witdh hunt court cases so unscathed. The prosectors must be made accountable. especially the police who subjectd him to such humiliation. Are they still in there jobs????someone should find out. God bless his children.

By shelley.. Posted September 13 2009 at 4:10 AM.

Miss you Michael, you are the one most close to angel. God bless your 3 angel kids.
Paris, Prince, Blanket, be strong. You dad only wanted you to be happy. What he was most proud of was you three children. Be proud of him and make him proud.

By Sophia.. Posted September 13 2009 at 3:45 AM.

Please stop calling him Jacko, his name is Michael Jackson. Think of his kids, how do they feel when they see their beloved dad is called Wacko Jacko? Do you have children? Do you want the same thing happen to your own kids?

By Sophia.. Posted September 13 2009 at 3:46 AM.

We miss him so much.
Please stop calling him Jacko.
His name is Jackson...
RIP my King
