Jackson family fights for kids: Funeral update

Posted by admin on June 29, 2009

Earlier today Katherine, Michael Jackson’s mother, was granted temporary custody of Michael’s three children Prince Micheal, 12, Paris Katherine, 11, and Prince Micheal II, 7, pending a hearing next week. It has yet to be determined if Debbie Rowe, the mother of the two oldest children, will try to take custody. The children have been with Katherine since Michael’s death, and the Jackson family doesn’t believe Ms. Rowe will separate the children. The grandparents said in court papers that Debbie Rowe has no relationship with the children.

At a press conference held Monday morning outside of the Encino, California family estate, 80 year old Joe Jackson stated, ” We’re the parents. This is where they belong.” He goes on to say, “We’re going to take care of them and give them the education they’re supposed to have.”

Joe Jackson did not give a date as to when the funeral would be held. He stated that he wanted the investigation of Michael’s death to be completed before they make any definite plans. Standing with Joe Jackson, civil rights leader Al Sharpton stated that the family did not want to rush into any plans. The family is waiting on a second private autopsy on the pop star and expect results soon. The Los Angeles county coroner is waiting on toxicology results, which can take from four to six weeks.
