I say Katherine (if she is divorced from that man)
if not the children should go to Janet or Jermaine.

I definately agree that Joe should not be in the childrens lives but I also have my doubt about her keeping them. It seems that Katherine didn’t protect her children enough from Joe. I feel that a mother who allows a man to abuse her children for years is just as much to blame for how some of them (i.e. Michael) become unstable as adults. If she couldn’t protect her own children when she was young how is she going to protect her grandchildren at 80 something yrs old?

i wonder if they will keep the kids Nanny around. From what I’ve heard she was like a mother to them for and has been taking care of them since they were all born. They are already probally very scared and feeling abandon my their Dad. Losing another person from their lives doesnt sould like it would be good for their mental health.

if katherine and joe are still married and live under the same roof then i dont believe that is the safest thing for the children, they have been through enough, but if katherine is living seperate from joe then sure.

@saddlebred: i totally agree, they should go to janet. just watching her at the BET awards last night almost made me break down and cry again.

Now wait a minute. Is Katherine still married to Joe??? I dont want Joe to have a thing to do with the children. I am hoping this turns out to be the safest situation for the children.

I just found this from last night….In a statement Jackson made on the red carpet before going into the Shrine Auditorium, he said that he and his wife have the “personal and legal authority to act, and solely have authority for our son and his children.”

He still calls her his wife. So looks like they are still married. :(

joe and katherine jackson apparently have been divorced for several years, that’s why he’s not listed on the petition. I can’t remember where I heard that but they kept it quiet until recently.

I get the impression that Joe and Katherine do not reside together if they are still married. They were at separate residences when they received the news of Michael’s death. Doubt Joe will be a constant fixture in their lives. Katherine maintained a good relationship w/ Michael and his children so it makes sense for the children to go to her.

Didn’t she go back to court for more time with the kids and settled for more money from Michael Jackson?

I hope she gets custody of the children as well, but Debbie Rowe is still the mother of two of them. I just hope it doesn’t become a huge battle. That’s the last thing those kids need right now.

@Splacer…..That’s what I wanna know too…..I didn’t think they were divorced. So wouldn’t the kids be living with Joe too?

See, I don’t agree that she is the best option because obviously she didn’t protect her own children from Joe Jackson. Why would it be any different with her grandchildren? I don’t know what the best option is for these kids, but I don’t think it’s Katherine or Debbie Rowe. Possibly a sibling or good friend with a stable family?

Are Katherine and Joe still married?

I think she would be a good caretaker if she is in good health, and as you said, keeps them clear of abuse from Joe. But Debbie Rowe is a literal stranger to her kids. She is on record saying multiple times that she is “not a mother” and “doesn’t want kids”. That’s not a good sitch either! Hope it all gets figured out quickly! Poor kids…
