Michael Jackson's mother granted temporary custody of children

The matriarch of the Jackson family Katherine Jackson has been given temporary custody of seeking custody of the late Michael Jackson’s three children. 

Debbie Rowe is the biological mother of  two of the children, but Katherine alleged the children have no relationship with their mother whatsoever, according to the petition.

The mother for Michael’s third child, nicknamed Blanket, is listed as “None.”

This is the first legal step among many others to come in wake of Jackson’s death. 

Katherine has long been considered the strength behind the Jackson family.  She was a staunch defender of her children throughout their careers.  It’s appropriate that she take the lead on this one.
