Michael Jackson Dead

[Vela]

My husband and I were talking on the phone the evening that the news broke about his death (I was vacationing with my family at the beach and he was unable to be there). He told me that his first thought was, "The King of Pop is meeting the King of Kings". What a beautiful thought in the midst of all the speculation and craziness.

That's a beautiful thought. Thanks for sharing.

Is Priscilla Presley the mother of the children? And if not, who is?

Does she (whoever she is) have any right to custody of the children?

I think the mom of the kids is a lady named Debbie Rowe.
She was the assistant of Jackson's detrmatologist who he ended up marrying not long after his divorce from Presley. I think she signed away her right to custody when the kids were little and they eventually divorced too.

No - Debbie Rowe is the mother of the 2 oldest. She was a nurse and MJ was married to her for a time. Nobody seems to know who the mother of the youngest is - MJ never revealed that.

I would think that DR would have more right to the children than MJ's parents, but I'll bet she's still going to be in for a long and difficult battle if she files to take custody. I sure wouldn't want to see those kids raised by the likes of MJ's father - as abusive as he was to his own kids.

Michaels mother and father have been estranged for 10 years so he would not be raising them if the mother gets them, he lives in Las Vegas.

I didn't know that - just know that he's evil - IMO.

And that poor woman is 79 years old, so I imagine the rest of the clan would end up with the kids anyway. I just hope it doesn't turn into a battle, for the sake of the kids.

He named Diana Ross as second to his mother to care for the children.

i seriously wonder if Dianna Ross would want to take on three children at her age, she is older than me, but of course she would have nannies i suppose, he obviously trusted his mother, and i am relieved and glad to hear that Joe Jackson and her are not together, i never knew that either.

I heard another rumour that Debbie Rowe said she was not the mother of the children,don't know where that came from and yes we never knew who was the mother of the youngest child.

i watched his rehearsel video, gosh one would never think two days later he would be dead, it seems to me to be drug related for sure, whether her over dosed accidentally or on purpose who really knows,and will we ever i wonder.
