Janet Jackson Wants to Help Raise Michael's Kids

Janet Jackson wants to be more than just an aunt to Michael's three children Prince Michael I, 12, Paris, 11, and Prince Michael II aka Blanket, seven, she wants to be their part time mother.

Janet has told her mother Katherine that she wants to help raise Michael's children, because she knows that's what Michael Jackson would have wanted.

A source told Britain’s Grazia magazine: “There was a lot of rifts in the family, but Janet was the one person he spoke to regularly and he made sure the children kept in touch with her too.

“Ultimately, he wanted Janet to look after the children, with help from his mother Katherine, and was planning to draft a new will to reflect those wishes. He trusted Janet implicitly.

“When he had health concerns, he had a talk with Janet about how much she meant to him and the children, and how if anything happened to him, he wanted her to make sure the children would be loved and cared for in the same way he was raising them. She told him of course she would.”

It would make sense for Janet and Katherine to co-parent his children. His three kids, especially Paris, seemed really attached to Janet during the memorial service, and of course grandma Katherine has helped raise them since they were little.

We just hope the judge grants Katherine permanent guardianship, because it's obvious she has the kid’s best interest at heart. Who do you think should raise Michael's kids? janet

of course Janet will be the best choice for the kids.

She better take care of herself first!

Janet is the OBVIOUS choice! I was so shocked that he left his kids to his mother, knowing his piece of shit excuse for a father Joe would obviously be involved in the daily upbringing of the kids! Joe is someone he hated, so why would he want his kids around him on a daily basis? The man (Joe) is a psychopath! I say the kiddos got to Auntie Janet!

Janet should be the one who receives the responsibility to raise the children. She has the intelligence and affection as well as the talent to maybe unlock some of their fathers hidden talent, resulting in MJ's spirit always being near. If the grandmother is there, it's a bonus.

Katherine and Janet would be great at taking care of the 3 children. Debbie Rowe??? Get real- she sold her kids and didn't want to be bothered until she ran out of money and wanted more, Joe has to be forced to stay away. And to those who are retarded enough to say "if Janet really wanted kids she would have had some of her own by now" SHUT UP Did it occur to you that you have children with someone you trust to be there? Except for her current boyfriend who has his own money...the rest have only wanted to own her world not be a part of it..who wants children with such people. Smart woman to wait.

She wants to be their "part-time mom"???? Children don't need a "part-time mom", they need a Mom. Rumors have plagued Janet about having a secret child her sister is raising. I don't that it's true but we're finding out how well the Jackson's keep secrets. I'm sure we have no idea. If she wanted to be a Mom she would have been a full-time Mom to her own children.

I think Janet and Katherine would be what the kids need. I hope this works out for the best though. Whatever is best for the children.

I think Janet would be a good choice for the kids since she wants kids also and because you could see the compassion she has for them. Katherine should be in their lives also however, she is fairly old (79) and the kids are far too energetic for her to do it by herself. Janets energy is greatly needed plus the fact that she is young enough to get through the ordeal of motherhood. She wants what's best for them and so does Katherine so I think this is the perfect combination and whereas Janet may lack some motherly qualities if that be the case since she is said to have none of her own then that's where Katherine is there to balance it out. Of course I do not think Debbie Rowe should get them. She was just a surrogate and she clearly was paid to give up her responsibilities. I do not think the kids will be interested in a woman they don't know and having to call her mom when they have Katherine and Janet who knows and always have loved them. Just cause Janet does not have children doesn't mean she don't love them. She is probably the biggest blessing since she's at a point in her life to want to have kids and somewhat risky for her to have them at her age of 43. I think she has the love, the resources and definitely the energy to be the best mom for them with much help from Katherine.

I think Janet, alomg with Grandma, would be by far the best choice, for these little ones. Anything would be better than money seeking Rowe. If Debbie Rowe cared about these children, she would of been in touch with them regularly over the years, in the advent of anything happpening with Micheal. Definitely Grandma and Janet. NOooo to Debbie Rowe.

It seems if Janet really loved kids she'd have some of her own by now. She just happened to be there when Paris needed someone to lean on. I also hated that Janet told Paris to speak up when the little girl was obviously very emotional at that time.

Stick with Katherine. The others can visit as needed...NO PAPA JOE!

Shine: I agree with you 100%.Janet has stated in several interviews that she didn't need kids to make her happy and that her career would always come first for her. Oh! Lets's add Latoya to Joe Jackson's name. She will tell anything to a tabloid to get a few dollars. She's shameless!!!

Janet should get them.Michael was closest to her out of all of his siblings.

will two 79-year olds be able to take on 3 young kids? 11,12, and seven? I definelty think janet should take leadership. I think michael would agree with that.

As long as they keep Joe away from the kids I think Katherine and Janet would be best, but if Joe is in the picture, I think they would be better off with Debbie Rowe, or even put up for adoption. Anything is better than them being around Joe.Michael would NEVER want Joe around them.

Janet seemed to be very loving to Paris during the Memorial Service. I'm sure there is no question that she will be a part of their lives.

I hope the three kids stay with Katherine since she is a awesome grandmother Janet she will be a perfect mother for those kids cause you can see in the service how she care about the kids god blessed this two womans.

It would be perfect if Janet helped raised the kids...From the memorial service, I saw such love from her towards those kids. The kids are very lucky to have her. God bless the entire family and may Michael Jackson rest in peace....He was a man of compassion, honor, and LOVE. I believe he wanted to change the world. I totally respect him....
