If it comes out that children are not his biological children, I couldn't give a bigger hoot. He WAS their father, the only father figure they've known all their lives. If he's not their bio father, then he's adoptive father. - do we split hair in adoptive relationships? "Look, this little girl looks Chinese, and her mother is white! Hmmmm..."
Who can say he wasn't their Father, in the nurturing sense of this word? What other parent have they known?

I would say it takes more than just watching snippets from the media to determine his true parenting skills. How many hard core drug addicts do we know that are nuturing parents?

"But those who've witnessed the family up close paint a brighter picture: a trio of engaging, intelligent, well-adjusted youngsters who adored their father. A father who, despite his eccentricities and the terrible controversy that surrounded him in later life, lived for his children and tried to make their lives as normal as -- well, as normal as Michael Jackson could."
^^^ - somehow, this goes together with my instincts, with how I always perceived him, beyond his appearance and eccentricities - he was a normal man in private, loving his kids, modeling his love as opposition to the tyranny he experienced himself as youngster.
Now, try to find something that supports your assertion that he was a terrible father.

This supports the fact he was not a good father.........HE MOLESTED OTHER CHILDREN!
Then he went on to buy some white children to enjoy.
