TMZ is apparently seeking revenge because Jermaine trashed them yesterday.

Boys playing cops and robbers? That's been going on for ages. Why in the world is this worthy of an article.

Anyone that tries to use children's play as a way to manipulate and malign children has some serious issues. I wonder how much they paid Grace for the video.

DCFS should investigate TMZ for child exploitation.

I used to work in both a school and a nursery and as part of UK policy these days, professionals are not allowed to ban children from playing 'gun games'. The reason for this is because, especially for boys, it is an important part of their development as they explore what it means to hurt someone and a lot of children are able to explore death in a child-friendly way through such games. As long as no other children are getting hurt I don't see a problem with it at all. It's just a typical boyish game, ffs! I hate how this is blown completely out of proportion because the Jackson kids are doing such things. This happens everywhere, it definately does NOT mean Jaafar, or any other children playing these games, are out of control or need children's services to intervene.

^ Interesting.

While it may be normal or even healthy for kids to act this way, I think it's important to remember that Michael probably didn't want *his* kids acting that way, or being around other kids who did. It's not as if he had them spend much time with Jermaine's kids previously.

Perhaps not. But I think it's unfair for Jermaine's kids to have to put a stop to the games they (perhaps) enjoy just because Michael's kids are there too. They all have equal rights afterall. Besides, it wasn't even mentioned that 3P were involved in these games, and if they don't wish to be, they can walk away. The house is big enough!

Also how do we know 3P haven't previously had much contact with Jermaine's children?

I'm really not arguing with you, encino. I really respect your opinion and know where you are coming from. I just like debating, esp since issues like this are a big part of my degree.

The video exists, I can assure you of that. But, in my honest opinion, they were just... being kids, playing. It's kind of disturbing seeing the way they act, though. They sound like spoiled, unmannered kids. I feel sorry for them, that this is being dragged out by the media, but Jermaine needs to step up and educate his sons, instead of traveling around the world, while Katherine takes care of his kids.

One thing I'm wondering... who's leaking these videos?

I think it's really wrong of TMZ to just say gun and insinuate it was real. Why didn't they say 'toy gun'? Dirty media tactics. I would be absolutely shocked if they were playing with a real gun - IF that were the case, ALL of those kids need protecting, not just Michael's children.


Oops - just realised that TMZ have changed the article to say Airsoft gun, I could have sworn that when I read the article earlier it just said 'gun'. Hmmm...

The media wants you to think their spoiled and not well mannered. Really they just need to catch the person putting all this issue out there. And Michael raised 2 boys.How do we know Prince and Blanket have never engaged in certain "boy" games. Boys are brought up to be rough and tumble,not dainty and quiet.

I think the stun gun incident was more bad parenting than anything else. He's just a teenage boy! They do stupid things (LOL, I say that with love!) and like to act tough. Let him use cap guns, or whatever, just keep real weapons out of it.
