The attorney on ABC Nightline news this evening said it plain and simple, "it's all about the money", the Michael Jackson estate since Jackson's death has made nearly 1 billion dollars in royalty's so far.

Katherine Jackson is getting over $70,000 a month to take care of these kids, if you can get custody over them you'll live (for the next decade at least) like a millionaire. I'm not saying that's the objective but it could be the reason the family took Katherine away to prove that she is incapable of taking care of the kids.

Once Katherine dies, her share of the money goes to the children so PPB will own 80% of the estate (the remaining 20% goes to charity).

She may be acting out right now, but it's not her fault. Her tweets are just a cry for help. The kids need a stable, responsible, compassionate, competent, honest, non-deceitful, non-ulterior motive having, non-elderly guardian.

Paris is one gutsy kid - more power to her!

Since these kids are not genetically linked to those crazy Jackson's, it is my sincere hope they are able to break away from the insanity as they grow and mature.

what on earth is wrong with that grandmother? if she needed or wanted a break, she should have done the right thing and told the kids and got someone to care for them, you don't just up and leave your reponsibility..she's not a kid herself, she's supposed to be the adult there..

Do we really know that they're not genetically related to the JAcksons?

How did Prince (for example) contract the same rare disease Michael has if he's not his biological child?

We'll probably never know to be perfectly honest.

Well, we don't know if she's even aware of what's going on. She was supposed to go to her sons' concert in Arizona by car, driven by her nephew and caregiver Trent Jackson (whom the siblings name as one of the people abusing her in that letter). However, she was visited by a doctor, supposedly on behalf of her own doctor, who told her that it was better for her to go by plane instead of by car because she needed rest. This despite the fact that she did a medical test just a month ago which showed that she was in excellent health both physically and psychologically, and her own doctor denies sending someone to her on his behalf. The other doctor was previously convicted of fraudulently prescribing drugs to Janet Jackson so he has a link to the siblings. Anyway, so Katherine goes to Arizona by plane (without Trent) to attend her sons' concert but she never makes it to the concert. Instead, she's staying with Rebbie and is not allowed to have contact with certain family members who coincidentally do not support the siblings in their fight against the Estate (Tito, Marlon, Jackie, Tito's sons, Michael's children, Trent, Katherine's lawyers, etc.). Jermaine and Randy have said themselves that their mother is isolated and doesn't have access to phones, TV or the internet because she needs "rest". On the other hand, they released a picture of her playing cards with a whole bunch of family members including her great-grandson London supposedly taken while she was 'missing'. Meanwhile, Paris is letting everyone know she hasn't spoken to her grandma in over a week now and that she's worried. Paris' tweets reflect badly on the siblings so a few days ago Janet, Randy and Jermaine followed the kids' car into the gates (the only way they could get in) and Janet is on surveillance video trying to take Paris' phone. They wanted the kids to go with them and Janet demanded their passports but the kids refused to go with them. According to sources close to the family, the plan was to have the kids paraded into the house their grandma is staying and have them reunited in front of the cameras as one big publicity stunt (to make it seem like nothing is wrong). Katherine may not even know that she is 'missing', she may assume that her children informed her other children and grandchildren where she's staying.

Exactly. The people who think it's possible to determine someone's race by their skin colour need a lesson in genetics. It's perfectly normal for biracial children to look like PPB, there's nothing strange or unique about their appearance. There are biracial people with blonde hair and blue/green eyes (Lionel Richie's daughter Sophia is an example). I'm amazed that there is so much ignorance about how genetics work. Also, the fact that these kids don't look like a clone of their father is used as evidence that he can't possibly be the biological parent. Really, how many people do you know that look exactly like their parents? My father has black curly hair and brown eyes, I had white-blonde hair as a kid and blue eyes but nobody ever questioned my dad's paternity lol.

The fact that Prince has Vitiligo (a very rare genetic skin disorder that affects 1% of the population) is very strong evidence that Michael is the biological father. If this were anyone other than Michael Jackson, this would be sufficient evidence. I don't understand why people find it so hard to believe that Michael was capable of fathering his own children.

Whenever someone says that "these kids don't look like a Jackson" or that they can't possibly be Michael's, I like to post these pictures
