I agree.  She might actually be a good, maybe even the best, choice.  She has apparently raised her own children well.  And, even though they are separated (divorced?), I am concerned that Joe Jackson might manage to exert too much influence over Katherine Jackson.  He does not come across as one who would willingly relinquish his role of authority figure.

Actually, given Debbie Rowe’s hurtful public proclaimations of NOT wanting any thing to do with her two biological offspring (and even if she did…where does that leave ‘Blanket?’), and the horrible abuse that occurred in the Jackson household…Ms. Ross may be the best surrogate parent.  Her five children have turned out incredibly normal (I admit to following celeb news…and can’t recall any Ross children public meltdowns; arrests).

 I hope those kids have some sense of some normalcy sometime soon.

Poor kids. Hope they turn out okay. I think the Jackson kids turned out okay did in spite of Joe Jackson. LaToya might be odd but Rebbie’s been married 41 years and Marlon’s been married 33 years. None really have truly bad track records that an average person doesn’t have (divorces for instance). It must be due to Katherine despite the barriers that Joe put in front of her.

I’m sure both Katherine Jackson & Diana Ross would look out for the best interests of Michael’s children, but at their age, and with Diana’s career, the ‘help’ would probably be raising the children.  Perhaps a younger parent would be better for the children.  Why not Janet or LaToya?  Don’t any of the brothers in a stable relationship?  Isn’t a home with a mother and a father reasonable to strive for?

A home with a mother and a father what a concept! More people should try it for longer periods of time. I hear it was all the rage several generations ago. In any case, it would be in the best interests of those kids to keep them close to the family they know. It just seems that there may never be an end to this saga. My heart goes out to the kids. This has to be the most confusing situation for them. Like Libra Lady said, they will definitely need counseling. We can only hope they’ll be offered the opportunity.

Actually she’d be an excellent choice. As known, her kids have never been in any trouble. If in the news it was to accompany her to an award show or other event. 

Karen, I see your point about the ages of Diana Ross and Katherine Jackson. But I don’t know about your choices. LaToya has had alot of marital problems, I don’t see a problem with Janet though. Isn’t there another sister that is sort of behind the scenes? I can’t remember.

My question is a simple one, Is Ms. Ross young enough to handle children of this age group.  The youngest still needs a lot more attention then the older ones.
