There is no "rumor" about "Jacko" holding an infant child outside of an open window several stories up. There is ample news footage of the occurrence.
Everybody is always so quick to believe any rumor but person should seek all the facts instead of throwing stones at some one who is dead and can not speak for himself.
I don't know why anybody not associated with the MJ family would particularly care one way or the other who should have custody of the children. Irrespective of his considerable vocal and dancing talents, I am guessing that almost anyone would be more suitable than MJ.
I find it very sad that you would try to take someone's death and try to turn it into a racial issue. This isn't Topix.
There is no concrete proof that the allegations you made are true, therefore it's a mute point. By law, Michael was their father and that's all that matters.
Instead of making attempts to belittle Michael's legacy, people need to take the opportunity to really look at the global outpouring of love that is being shown for him and his family. The world, and especially Kennett, would be a much better place if people took a timeout from trying to tear others down and took the time to love.
I Corinthians 13:4-7
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
This entire thing is weird beyond weird.
Michael Jackson paid for White male sperm donors, White female egg donors, and rented White female wombs to bear the children.
Yeah, I know, sounds racist hey? well, just reverse the scenario, if a White celebrity had done this with Black surrogates, the racism charges would have flown like wheat chaff in a Kansas tornado.

I GREW UP LISTENING TO MICHAEL JACKSON AND THE JACKSON FIVE.....I LOVED THEM THEN AND I STILL DO..ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO I PURCHASED THE CD THRILLER FOR MY 15 YEAR OLD SON AND HE LOVED IT...I REALLY HATE MICHAEL SPENT MOST OF HIS ADULT LIFE TRYING TO CHANGE IS LOOKS, AND NOT ENJOYING IS FAME AND HOW MUCH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE LOVED HIS MUSIC....WE WILL MISS YOU MICHAEL...
I believe the courts were correct in awarding temporary custody to Mrs. Jackson. Although Debbie Rowe is the biological mother of the two oldest children, she has had no relationship with them at all, despite having her parental rights restored in 2006 after a judge ruled they were improperly terminated. The third child's biological mother is not known and I believe it would not be in their best interest to separate the children. Despite being 79 years of age, Mrs. Jackson, with the help of Michael's siblings, is the best option to care for all of the children.
