It WASNT in response to today's latest "missing" news.

Yep, media are running with Jermaine's quote without checking the date.

Paris tweeted last night confirming she hasn't heard from her grandmother. Even put up the security's phone number for people to contact her if they got any info.

[Keyser Soze]

Whatever's going on, Jermaine or someone should let the Jackson children know she's okay. She's been there for them throughout the last few years and her just vanishing without an explanation to Paris and her brothers seems thoughtless (to say the least).

[Kellie B]

They really are such a strange family.

[LIZALYNN]

That is quite disturbing. There is something going on there that doesn't sound right. The Jackson brothers word against the word of a beloved granddaughter Paris?
Money is the route of all evil.

I don't know - Paris is still a child if Katherine is sick (she is in her 80s) then they might decide she's too young to be told what's going on. In most family's there is 'Grown Up' stuff that the kids aren't told about. If the Jackson's didn't have a reputation for being well odd then that's what we'd all think.

But they could tell them she's unwell, without any gory details. If she's very unwell, they'll be better prepared for any eventuality if they know she's not well.

With what they've been through with their dad, I think they could cope knowing that grandmother might be ill.

It seems very odd that they haven't been able to contact her. She is their legal guardian, so who's looking after then at the moment? I feel inclined to believe Paris, but that's just a gut instinct.

[Sloopy]

The Jacksons.....so many of them, all seemingly devoid of the common sense gene. After everything that has happened, they should at least credit the kids with a modicum of intelligence if there is a problem.

Most of the family members seem to have a streak of self-interest running through them: all grasping and grabbing at the contents of this will they're alleged to have been omitted from. It's quite possibly time to hop off the gravy train and start earning their own living.

My gut says something odd is going on too especially when the kids seem to be unsure of the situation, keeping in mind they are meant to be under their grandmothers care.
If I was going to get all conspiracy theory I might suggest members of the family are trying to make the grandmother look unstable and/or to frail to care for the children and be in control of the money.
There has been plenty to suggest many in the family are unhappy with how the will was dealt with and many in the clan just aren't that well off independent of the MJ income source.

I wonder if a change of guard is on the way?
Luckily the kids are growing up fast and they will soon be free of family control.

[Orangemaid]

any news as to where she is, ? bit odd as the daughter or someone was with her too ?

[shelleyj89]

^According to The Daily Mail - "Los Angeles Sheriff's Deputy Mark Pope said investigators made contact with Mrs Jackson, but he did not have specifics on her whereabouts."

They're also claiming that Jermaine has said "access to his mother is not being blocked but that her access to phones and computers was removed for her well being."

Don't like the sound of that personally.

My feelings on this are the same as yours.

I'm glad it's not just me - thought I was being silly until I saw someone else say it.

They are such a bizarre family I think it's entirely possible something very dodgy is going on here. I hope there isn't, but you just never know with this lot.

[shelleyj89]

I'm still wondering who is looking after the children?

[Rose*~*]

If this family would actually talk to each other without getting the media involved, it would be a much more healthy environment for the children to grow up in.

Why can't they just pick up the phone and go 'Hey sis/bro, have you heard from mum lately? I've been trying to ring her but she's not picking up. Any idea where she could be?'

You know, normal human contact...

*sigh*

[NotaTypo]

Paris should engage a lawyer for herself and the Princes and apply for legal emancipation. That way, the creepy, greedy leeches in the Jackson clan/cult would be cut off from the money that they have zero entitlement to anyway.

Yep. At least she has her head on straight & knows what kind of people her Uncles are.

What a horrible family. No wonder Micheal was screwed up.
I couldn't imagine knowing at around 7 or 8 that when you family looked at you all they saw were dollar signs & you knew you were a cash cow first brother & son second.

[dorydaryl]

It's a lot to deal with for those kids. I hope there's someone looking out for their interests and theirs alone...and not in it for the take.

[mevilhoney]

Let`s play devil`s advocate. How would you feel if your younger brother with whom you have been in business with and could arguably claim some responsibility for its and his later success,excludes you from his will and leaves it all to his mother (fine) and his kids...who certainly don`t look like Jacksons. You`d feel annoyed. The Jacksons were five people and it lead to MJ`s solo millions; he could have left them something.

In answer to your devil's advocacy: None of it is the fault of the kids though. And they are his children - never mind what a DNA test would say, for all his faults (of which there were many), MJ was the only person they ever knew as 'Dad'.

If any of my siblings died I'd expect everything they have to go to their kids and maybe some to Mum.

MJ was a meal ticket for the whole family from a very early age. He still is in death.

The Jacksons were a talented bunch, but they seem to have forgotten that and focused on MJ.

[dee123]

Hmm... Where's Janet in all this. She's quiet. Probably because she has her own money & doesn't need to leech off her dead brother.

[Geneve]

Hrm any of them members of the CO$ LOL.

Seriously thou - this is a bad situation I can feel it and I think Paris is right to make this public and keep people in the know..... just incase.

They don't have some God given right to be left something in his Will. He trusted his mother, and loved his children (whether they look like him is irrelevant ) and included them in his Will. That's all that is relevant. If they're annoyed, that's their problem, it shouldn't become a problem for Katherine or the children.

Janet is one of the co-signees of "the will's a fake" letter.

[Sloopy]

The siblings should not be grasping and grabbing for their share of MJ's will, especially when there are three children of minor age left behind.

Everything should go to the kids in trust for when they eventually come of age to take control of their inheritance.

How much of a cut do the siblings 'expect' to receive from his estate??

[mevilhoney]

I think if you have made money with your --elder-- siblings in a band setting,you should not cut them out completely from a will. If it`s a will worth millions, I, if I had been in business with siblings,would cut them in. If only to keep the family together,and avoids rifts. Mind you, it does seem weird the mother goes missing just as the estate confirm they have paid of all MJ`s debts.
