Such sweet children. Like most of you. I only wish the best for them. I wish that for all children... These children will have issues, typical, average children do not have though... Unproven Allegations... The writer got it right about the past...

1) Joe Jackson doesn't even live at the family compound 2) after all these years I'm sure this man has changed and is beyond spanking anyone's child 3) Michael named Katherine Jackson as the guadian, not Joe 4) These children will be enveloped in Love by the entire Jackson family, because no matter their childhood it is very apparent that they are ALL extrmemly close.

If the court has any brains, it will grant custody to the grandmother. Give them to Rowe, and the circus will begin. There will be no normalcy in their lives as she sees them only as a cash cow. This should be a warning to everyone who has money and kids - make sure your legal ducks are in a row NOW before it is too late.

WRONG THEY DON"T HAVE A MOTHER!!! What decent mother would give up the rights to raise her children?? NOT DEBBIE ROW!!! These children need to stay in an atmosphere where it is comfortable and familier no matter how bizare they were to you. Being with Row would be horrible for them especially since she had no intention to raise them in the first place. She was paid handsomely for the use of her womb. What a pathetic excuse of a woman.

I hope the kids will have a happy life. But let's not forget the children of our American men and women who have died in war---they need support too.

I think that if they stay with Joe Jackson, he'll beat the living daylights out of them. Even Blanket will take a beating from Grandpa Joe.

All children face hurdles when they lose parents. The press is just overdoing this topic and that's the biggest hurdle for these children.

Yeah right! A mother that chose money over their well being. Get a grip. They should stay with Katherine. I figure she would be the only one not in it for MONEY!!!
