Michael Jackson's dad looks at entertainment potential in his grandkids

Michael Jackson's father, Joe, was interviewed by ABC News to discuss how he believes his son's death was "foul play." The segment appeared on "Good Morning America" today.

The elder Jackson said he and his wife, Katherine, should raise Michael's children, Prince Michael, 12, Paris, 11, and Blanket, 7, saying they would grow up to be "strong Jacksons."

Jackson was asked if "his eye" saw hints that his grandchildren could grow up to be performers. He said that Paris "wants to do something" and that Blanket "can really dance."

And I'm sure that most everyone cringed upon hearing those words come from his mouth.

    I firmly believe that the children are traumatized and the best place for them to be would be with a loving grandmother. At the same time I don’t believe they should be with Michael’s mother. I believe she’s a very loving person, but she lacks the backbone to stand up to Joe. How she could stand by while he abused those boys the way he did …as a mother I just don’t understand.

    These children are at risk of being abused…..and grandma is too brainwashed by religion to protect them any better than she protected her own.

    Sadly, the only person in this family I'd like to see get custody of all "3" of these children is Janet. I agree with (just thinking,) although the grandma may be loving, she allowed her husband to abuse that entire family... I question Mr. Jackson Sr. as to what plans he may have with these children. I'd certainly sleep easier if they were nowhere near him at all.

    I certainly hope Janet will try and remain as close to those children so long as her mother has temporary custody. I hope with all my heart they do not go with their biological mother, well at least her two. That women clearly gives me the creeps. She appears hungry for her kids inheritance.

    I never see Katherine and Joe together. Maybe they don't live together. I would not think Mike would live his kids to his mother with Joe in the same house.

    OMG! I knew it, knew it, knew it, KNEW IT! I knew that horrid, evil, wretched man would exploit those kids the second he got the chance. He really should be kicked in the head.

    I believe Joe is looking for control and making money from those kids. That is all he knows.
