Not Born Yesterday wrote:The word "normal" in any connection with Michael Jackson is very difficult to comprehend!

It used to make my blood boil to see the children being paraded around in masks or veils. Even if only half of the stories we heard about Michael were true, he was not a fit person to be bringing up children.

'It never gets easier' ... Paris, seen here with Jacko as a child, is struggling with her dad's death
SPLASH NEWS
An alarmed counsellor dialled 911 and paramedics rushed to the Jackson family home and took Paris away on a stretcher at 2am local time yesterday. She was recovering in hospital last night.

The suicide bid was confirmed by her mum Debbie Rowe, 54, who said Paris had “a lot going on”. It came just weeks before the fourth anniversary of Jacko’s death.

Paris is believed to have self-harmed in the past and has been pictured with scratch marks on her inner arm. She is also said to have made previous cries for help.

A source said she had rowed with family members, including her custodian gran Katherine, 83, in recent weeks, culminating in Tuesday’s huge bust-up.

The source said: “It was the usual teenage stuff about where Paris was allowed to go and what she could wear. But it must have pushed her to breaking point.

“She has suffered terrible bullying recently. All the allegations about Michael abusing children have been back in the news, plus details of his drug use and even questions about whether he is the kids’ biological father.

“Paris was also due to give evidence at her dad’s wrongful death trial. It has all taken its toll.”

Earlier on Tuesday Paris posted a series of tweets, giving a clue into how the row erupted. At first she simply wrote “omg” — oh my god.

An hour later she added: “That conversation escalated quickly.” Two hours later she mused: “I wonder why tears are salty?”

Then she posted a line from the mournful Beatles song Yesterday: “Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away, now it looks as though they’re here to stay.”

A 20-minute video of the teen repeatedly asserting “I am so weird”, was posted on YouTube last week.

And in February she suggested she’d been left heartbroken by a relationship. She tweeted: “Here’s to teenage romances and never knowing why they hurt like hell.” Paris lives in Calabasas, California, with her gran, brothers Prince, 16, and Blanket, 11, and Katherine’s nephew Trent.

The kids’ cousin TJ shares custody with Katherine, and Jacko’s siblings Randy, 51, La Toya, 57, and Janet, 47, often visit.

A source added: “All the family have opinions on what is best for the kids. It drives Prince and Paris crazy.” Paris has also recently spent more time with her mum Debbie, Jacko’s ex-wife — against the Jackson clan’s wishes.

A lawyer for Katherine said last night: “Paris is physically fine. Being a sensitive 15-year-old is difficult no matter who you are.

“It is especially difficult when you lose the person closest to you.”

Jackson brothers Jackie, Marlon and Tito said: “Paris is safe and doing fine.”

Pals said the teenager had recently become a Marilyn Manson fan and was desperate to go to the gig in Los Angeles tonight.

She had also started listening to troubled musicians such as Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, who killed himself in 1994.
Bullies turned on Paris as her dad’s life came under the spotlight during the $40billion court fight in LA. Jacko died of an overdose on June 25, 2009, and she had been due to give evidence against gig promoters AEG. The family blame AEG for hiring doctor Conrad Murray, who gave him the lethal dose.
Dancer Wade Robson recently filed a lawsuit claiming he was abused by Jacko. An insider said: “It has been awful for Paris.”

Scarred by odd life

By DEIDRE SANDERS, Sun Agony Aunt
POOR Paris has grown up surrounded by so much emotional turmoil that there is a grim inevitability about her suicide attempt.
There are huge pressures on the kids of stars. Paris and her brothers have never known anything like a normal family life.
Their father Michael was a very needy adult. His kids were conceived because he loved the idea of being a dad.
But it was as much, if not more, about filling an emotional hole in his life. It’s inevitable that would eat into his kids’ self-esteem.
There has been family conflict and endless public comment about their dad. It’s hard to see how Paris could find peace and space to grieve. At 15, she’s a child and it’s heartbreaking to think of her so desperate. I hope her family get her the right support and now keep her out of the spotlight.
The public eye is no place for the vulnerable. Stephen Fry’s suicide bid admission shows fame is no protection against despair.
It’s Catch 22 — feeling low can make you crave public applause, yet the stress of fame makes you vulnerable. Let’s hope they both find a quiet space to recover.

The story comes from The Sun originally - so make of it what you will - but it certainly is no surprise to me to hear that Michael Jackson was probably not the biological father of his first two children.


Morning NBY,

I understood that Debbie was the surrogate Mother for all Michael's children , surely blood tests would establish this?

Not Born Yesterday wrote:The article isn't about who their mother is but how the first two don't have the same father.

However, Debbie is the mother of only the first two; it has never been revealed who was the mother of Blanket (poor little soul!).

There have been reports (possibly not true) that Debbie was the surrogate mother (not biological) of the first two which would make both natural parents unknown!


The samples they take today of new borns  should show the Mother and Father chromasomes , but they couldn't find a match for Madeleine in the samples taken from the car. Your'e right, Debbie was a surrogate Mother but a test would have proved both Parents, like Elton John used a surrogate Mother .

Not Born Yesterday wrote:It's not definite that Debbie was their surrogate (rather than biological) mother, Panda.

Some people do think that there's a resemblance between her and Paris but I can't see it myself.

If you look at the photo of her and her brother you can see the resemblance. The Jackson family is very disfunctional and it's no wonder those children are going through traumas , I do feel sorry for them.

Michael Jackson WAS their father, whoever is or was their biological father doesn't matter....he's the one that brought them up, loved them and cared for them......so he WAS their father.
