Michaels cruel father dreams showbiz for his grandchildren

Michael Jackson would be turning in his grave if Joe Jackson has his way with Michael’s three kids. Joe is telling people that Jackson’s children have a great future in showbiz just like their father Michael Jackson.
"I keep watching Paris," Joe said of the 11-year-old girl in an interview recently, "She wants to do something." He further went on to Michael Prince II, the 7-year-old known as Blanket, saying, “Blanket can really dance. That’s what they’re saying. He can really dance."
It’s no news that Michael never had a good relationship with his father. He always said Joe physically and emotionally abused him, to discipline Michael for his music rehearsals. In one incident Joseph held Michael upside down by one leg and "pummeled him over and over again with his hand, hitting him on his back and buttocks" It would be understatement to say Jackson had a difficult relationship with his father Joe Jackson.
On being asked who should have the custody rights for Michael’s three children, Joe answered, "The grandmother, Katherine, and I. There’s no one else to do what we can do for them. We should keep them all together and make them happy, and feed them like they’re supposed to be fed. And let them get rest … and grow up to be strong Jacksons," he went on.
With the temporary custody of the kids remaining with Katherine Jackson, one cannot be too sure that Joe might start up with a Jackson 3 act on the lines of The Jackson 5, the original debut band of Michael. And now, on the other hand, we hear Michael’s second wife and mother of two of his kids; Debbie Rowe, who hadn’t seen or interacted with the children for years, is going to fight for the custody rights of her children.
This is a sad catch 22 situation for Jackson kids as Michael died leaving their future bleak and uncertain. The three kids are being looked upon as a key to Michael’s multi-million dollar empire and are ready to be gobbled up by their own kith and kin.
