While Michael Jackson’s mom, Katherine Jackson continues to fend off Debbie Rowe over the issue of custody for the late King of Pop’s kids, it’s Michael’s sister Janet Jackson who has emerged in the eyes of many as the favored caregiver for the three children. And, sources tell OK!, that appears to be just what Prince, Paris and Blanket want most.“All three want Janet to read to them at night,” a Jackson family friend says. “They just melt into her arms when she walks into the house.”
The feeling is mutual, adds the insider.
“Janet has completely bonded with those children in the last two weeks,” the friend continues. “She has been their rock. It’s clear to everyone that they are looking to her for comfort and guidance.”
Michael’s will names his mother, Katherine as the children’s guardian, but Debbie, the biological mother of the eldest kids, has expressed interest in raising them. All three currently live at Katherine’s Encino, Calif. home.
“[They] are doing great. Mom and Janet are taking care of them,” Michael’s brother Jackie tells OK!.
One concern raised is that at 79, caring for three kids might be too much for Katherine, a problem eased by Janet’s presence.
“Janet is not only willing to raise those children, she is also the only relative who knows how to protect them,” the insider tells OK!. “Janet knows the value of a private life and knows how to keep her personal life out of the news. She is determined to do that for Michael’s children. She is saying that he would want no less for them, pointing out how far he went to shelter them.”

Michael. You and your family are in my prayers. I miss him sooooooooo much!!! =:::(
micheal jacksons kids is the most precious thing for MJ thats why micheal always take care of them.
I think Janet should take custody of thosse kisd, i mean the mother is gie tooo old, she has at lease 20 years , god sakes she will be like 90, but i also understand her side,, i would want my kids too, i do understand why she is fighting, but Janet is good for them, plus the kids have no problem with her, but they all ready treat her like a mom based on what i herd they would be honored to have her, plus they would be bettr off, but dnt give no right to not let the mom see them, she should anytime she wants, also i think that joe jackson also can do the job,, but age is the only thing,, well hey i gess Janet shgould get custody as final..
AND YES LEAVE JACKSONTHE HELL ALONE, HE DID NOTHIN BUT TO LIVE A REGULAR LIFE HE LOVED HIS FANZ AN ALL YALL DO IS LISEN TO THAT CRAP YALL WRONG, WAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WERE HIM,, HE GON THREW ALOT SO CHILL ON ALL THATS GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL AN HIS,, RIP MICHAEL I LOVE YOU ALOT AN MISS YOU,, JUSS A NUMBER ONE FAN!
MICHAEL ANT WANT THEM TO GO THRW WAT HE GO THREW HE WAS NOT WIERD WITH HIS KIDS,, STOP PUTTIN PRESURE ON HEM,, WELL RIP, MICHAEL AT LEASE YOU ARE FROM ALL THESE LIL HATRES WHO HAVE NOTHIN BETTER TO DO, LUV YOU MICHAEL
children should stay with someone that does not love janet because she seems the best choice
PPL NEED TO LEAVE THE FAMILY ALONE. MICHAEL LOVED THOSE KIDS TO DEATH. THEY SHOULD BE WITH FAMILY. PPL WHO LUV THE. LOOK AT THEM AT MJ’S MEMORIAL SERVICE. IT’S CLEAR THEY KNOW WHO THERE FAMILY IS. THEY NEED TO STAY RITE THERE… NO ONE NEEDS TO FIGHT IT… R.I.P MICHAEL JACKSON!!! MUCH LOVE TO HIS KIDS.
it got that right all they doing is hurting the kids
I have always thought of Janet as being the logical choice since she was closest to Michael.
No one has said anything more about Omer….the real biological son of the Late Michael Jackson
“OK” this is what I think. I think MICHAEL’S KIDS should make the choice here. Like who wouldn’t agree with me? The kids want to stay with Janet. So, of course, the kids should stay with Janet, not that I hate DEBBIE ROWE, I HATE DEBBIE ROWE. No effence to her, I think the kids should stay with Janet for two reasons:
1.The kids want to stay with Janet
&
2. I HATE DEBBIE ROWE
“OK” have a good day people :]]]] XOXO ♥
yeah, i totally agree with haley..i HATE debbie rowe as well, i mean what kind of a mother wouldn’t want her kids?? Thats SICK Dx As for the kids, I hope they go to either Janet or Katherine because they both seemlike a good caretaker.
rip mj……
what makes me mad is the mother did not want them she walked out a long time a go and now she wants the they dont know her they should stay with the people they was a roundwith they are so cute how can a mother walk a way from her kids i could noti have two boys of my oonw so i say let the family go threw think let the kids pick who they want to stay with and go bye what the dad had on hes will i just feel so sorry for the kids kids to yall if yall see this their was nothing wrong with your dad he was a good person i grew up wacthing him on tv andi just think he want everybody to get a long and do good u had a good dad that loved u andi will keep u in my prays yall are so cute
u got that right if one of us was doing any thing wrong they would not make a big deal out of it i thank people should leave the family a long right now they already going threw a a hard time i ahte if for the kids beacuse they see all and hear all he just want for people to get along
I think Janet should get them. Katherine is older and it would probably be hard to raise them and Joe would just want to make a Jackson 3 out of them. Debbie doesn’t want them and I just couldn’t see her being the best guardian for them. But you know there also is the possibility they MJ didn’t die and moved to a tropical island somewhere. Pretty soon we will probably hear about the kids going to some boarding school in another country. (But really seeing MJ) Only time can tell
pls stop there want b no jackson 3!wow!
i think that janet jackson should take micheal’s kids because ot would be best for them and now that micheal is died his mom have more reposobilties for her and her family not including joe jackson and joe did like a lot of bad stuff to micheal and he is ugly yes he is
debbie rowe do not no how to raise kids she do’nt even how to talk right that’s why mj mom has his kids and that’s good but don’t not think diana ross should get them either
I think they should go with janet or their grand mother whoever they chose they are soooo cute and just because they are young dont mean they cant pick who they want to be with Rip mj i love you and im praying 4 your kids you were a great man and you showed us with your music the greatest man alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE LOVE YOU MJ
i beg of the judges to please give the custody of the kids to Jackson’s Family not there biological mother cos they all become strangers cos there are not use to her like there family which their father associated them with, so let the kids be with their Aunt, Uncles and Grand mum/Grand Pa.
i had the same experience but my grand mum and aunts & Uncles Closed the gap of loneliness and the loss of a loved one most especially when dad was the only one there for me and my mum never had time for me like they do.
pls i have felt the pain before help them out.
i think prince is cute but u guys need to leave them alone there having a tough time right now
i think prince is cute but u guys just need to leave the family alone there having a tough time right now
leave them alone i think prince is cute
i know prince the oldest is so hot and guess wat me and him r the same age and we were born in the same year. he was born in febuary and i was born in april. i hope i marry him!!!
prin is so hot i wish i could marrie him
i wish i could marrie him
awww thats so cute “I Want Aunt Janet to read to me ” I can Imagine Paris saying that But I think Janet should have custody I think Michael would have wanted her to be and Especially if they were really comfortable around Her I think its nice that they have someone there for them Well my prayers Go out To Thema nd the family .. Still…… R.I.P Michael You are not forgoten and never will be atleast not among my generation .. ♥♥♥♥
Well what i think is that janet should take care of them she knows what shes doing atleast she would let them be properly sheltered care free kids plzz dont get mad OK ppl but im jus sayin joe jackson really messed up with his kids . Like come on are they gonna go to school are they gonna have friends they need a social life is what i think no kid will make thru there future if they dont have friends to encourage them if prince michael the first is like wanting to ask questions about his body, im pretty sure janet or the rest of the family wouldnt mind telling him but its not right what so ever i guarantee you he already feels uncomfortable learning about his body with his family and sure he has cousins and they are pretty normal and dont have to hide them selves but come on every person needs a friend. if your mad at your family youll always have another shoulder to lean on hes almost a teenager and who knows how blanket is gonna turn up with all this baby momma drama for the rest of his life when he fully understands, its gonna drive him insane and paris she looks like shes gonna make it outta the little shell shes cooped up in and she probably wants to cry and when shes a teenager trust me shell cry and let everything out and then shes just gonna have an attitude about whatever shes upset about. I hope a jackson family member reads this. AND MIND YOUR D BIZNES BOUT MICHAEL J IF YU GOTTA BAD OPINION STOP TWISTIN UP THE TRUTH INTO A BIG LIE AND NO IM NOT NO THERAPIST I JUST GOTTA ALOT TO SAY!
Brielle is right and you guys should stop makin rumors cuz they r goin thru a tuff time rite now yes my dad died cuz he kinda overdosed his medicine my dad said my brother and sister were his and they werent my dad had a baby with a women we dont know and now my yungest brother most likely will turn up with a messed up future and dont go makin rumors cause half of you dont know what it feel like
yea and they mite be his kids but guess what!? mind your damn business its none of your concern. all your doing is hurting the kids when they already goin thru tuff times like what the hell.
Hope janet will take care of the kids…I love Michael and Janet the most…Love u… .
paris is cute i wish i could marrie hr blanket,i wish he was my brother hes so cute,prince he like the freind ive never meet
i love michael kids so much as if they were mine. it saddens me to see what we did to michael and what ended up happening because of it. Does any one remember the song “LEAVE ME ALONE” it was a song michael wrote to tells up that we need to stop starting rumors about him and to stop judging for his life choices. Michael was a great entertainer but he was also a regular human being and we need to remember that. I will always love MJ no matter what he did. now that he is dead im really just hurt and disipointed at alot of people cause we kind of caused this to happen. R.I.P KING OF POP Your legacy will live on forever.
i wish i could marry Prince. He is so cute he kind of looks like MJ. Paris i wish she was my sister she seems like the type of girl who likes to be herself and can have a good time no matter where u r. And Blanket, Blanket, Blanket,Blanket. He is so cute i wish he was my brother. if i marry Prince(and hopefully i do) Blanket and Paris will be my brother and sister in-law. YESS! see how that all works out. R.I.P MJ
He is mine!!
Prince is so cute i wish i could marry him
prince is so cute i want to marry him

okay i am late on this because we all know that Katherine Jackson has full custody to the three chidlren. My only concern is for when she passes. I know Rebbie is next in line to raise the children but with her belief I don’t think she should. For Michael left the Jovah life to enjoy all the things that you and I take for granted. With his children he has celebrated their birthdays and even Christmas now living with both Mrs. Jackson and Rebbie they will lose out on those celebration. As you know that is not what Michael wanted for those children. He has said that he missed out on those special celebrations in his life >>> Please dont take that away from those children. Do as Michael would of done ..CELEBRATE THEIR BIRTHDAY’S AND CHRISTMAS… MRS. JACKSON YOU TOOK THAT AWAY FROM THEIR FATHER DONT TAKE THAT AWAY FROM MICHAEL’ CHILDREN ..
yeh me too but i have to say the kids dont have to care about there gurdian as long as the people in the jackson family are looking after them.
look people stop writing these dumb ass stories about micheal and his kids cause if you are not in the family,house,or close to the jackson family you dont kno it all are even kno if it’s the truth so my advice is that people need to stop reading these blogsand beliveing these lies and for the writers fuck u stankey as lieing people and get a life.
My take on all this?
It’s ok to be a fan, but all this celebrity worship has to go! Find out what is really important in life, and do it! Do any of us really know them , really know them?! They have a life, now you get one! There’s no need to worship anyone. Especially when you can have the same kind of success as they do! We all have gifts and talents,but some of us dont let them show! They are no more gifted than anyone. Maybe they had better opportunities?! Stop looking at them(celebrities) as though they are. They’re only human. Keep them that way!!! We didn’t do that with Michael ,and all idolizing caused him to be taken from us. To love someone,one must not make idols of them.
