To this point there have been two names commonly mentioned in the custody case involving the three children of late pop star Michael Jackson: ex-wife Deborah Rowe and mother Katherine.
However, there is now one more name entering the mix: Joe Jackson, the singer's father. According to Time Magazine, Joe wants the responsibility of raising the children. As he told ABC in an interview:
"Their grandmother Katherine and I should raise them...yes there's no one else who can do what we can do for them. We should keep them all together and make them happy. Feed them like they are supposed to be fed."
The comments come as especially fascinating considering that Katherine and Joe Jackson, while still legally married, have lived in separate states for the last several years. In addition, Michael Jackson stated in his will that he wanted his children to be cared for by Katherine; there was no mention of Joe whatsoever in regards to the children. During his life the singer was critical of his father's parenting methods, claiming at times that he was even "frightened" as a child because of the man's behavior. Katherine Jackson has yet to make an official announcement in regards to the comments.
In other news regarding the Jackson custody case, Deborah Rowe, the mother of the two older children, has stated that she plans to be at the initial custody hearing on July 20, even though he presence is not required for the proceedings. Rowe had previously renounced her rights to the children.
