Michael's Kids: Prisoners of Tragedy
Hearts broke around the world when Michael Jackson's 11-year-old daughter, Paris, delivered a teary tribute to her late father during his memorial, saying simply: "Daddy has been the best father you can ever imagine, and I just want to say, I love you so much," before breaking down.
As Star reports in our July 20 issue, the King of Pop's three children are struggling with their devastating loss — and wonder who will raise them now that their doting dad is gone.
Prince, Paris and Blanket "are scared and confused," says a family insider. "Michael was everything to them — father, mother, playmate. Now that he's gone, everything is different for them."
While Prince, 12, has tried to put on a brave face for his younger siblings, he often breaks down and sobs uncontrollably. It’s the same with Paris, who constantly bursts into tears and runs out of the room — her brief but heartfelt tribute to her father at the Staples Center on Tuesday was typical of her behavior. As for little Blanket, 7, he asks, "Who will be my Mommy?” according to the family insider.
"It has hit the kids hard -- really hard,” adds the insider. “They were in a state of shock at first... But then it began to sink in, and it’s just heartbreaking to watch.”
Pick up the new Star today for all the details about the youngest victims of this tragedy, including who will raise them and whether or not they can ever have a normal life. Plus: See the very personal drawings the children made for their father that make clear just how much they loved him.

I think that the jackson family should try to keep the kids out of the spotlight so they can try to grow up as normal as possible!

I wish these tabloids can stop intruding in this families business. Why is it our buisness where the children goes too? We are strangers of them they don't know us.
I really wish that Michael didn't pass because I believe he would be pissed off how his children are exposed to this trash. God forbid I do hope they are sheltered away from the TV and Internet. -- KMC
I think Janet Jackson should be the mother for MJ children, they get along well and they will stick together. If Debbie Rowe takes PARIS AND MICHEAL WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO BLANKET.. he will be left all alone and MJ wouldn't want that. The children want their aunt Janet to take care of them, the judge should hear them speak and decide with them what is best for them.
Debbie just wants the money, she couldn't take it anymore and left. At first, she said she wanted nothing to with the kids and now she does... i guess money changes peoples minds. -- CA
Katherine, Janet, or Diana Ross (in the will) seem like the best choices. As long as they don't go with Joe.

Why did the kids write "WE CAN FILM" on the letter begging to take a break from school. Seems strange to me, as though it was required that they be filmed in order to spend time with him. Who knows, I can't wait for Paris to grow up and write a book and set the story straight. Just what was it like in Bazzaro World
