Katherine Jackson declared in court papers obtained Thursday that she had no idea she was the subject of a search until she accidentally heard a TV report.

She said she was told her doctor had ordered her to rest and she was flown to Arizona. At a spa, her cell phone was confiscated along with her IPad and she said she was kept in a room with no working phone or TV service. She said she asked about Michael's children and was told they were fine.

Why wasn't Al Sharpton on his soap box claiming this was a conspiracy on the part of whites? He missed his golden opportunity to continue with his racist rancor. The Jackson family is pathetic. They're like a bunch of vultures circling over a fresh roadkill, and they're just going to squander the fortune away on attorneys trying to get something that doesn't even belong to them in the first place. They're all insane except for Michael's kids. Paris seems to be the only sane one of the bunch.

Why in the hell is this news, who gives a s#####t.

I don't know what was going on with the Jackson family, but I don't think Paris deserves ANY CRITICISM whatsoever for blowing the whistle, because the whole thing does sound hinky. I'm glad she's bold enough to summon help if she thinks it's needed.

It was also very odd that this "event" with Kathryn happened within days (or hours) of a letter to Michael's estate lawyers demanding more for the Jackson siblings. Coming right after that letter the way it did, a lot of people were wondering what was going on.

Not that it's any of our business what goes on with the Jacksons. But I'd be concerned about ANY children under these circumstances, with a guardian missing for more than a week.

right on it was sick what gadis night said she another old buzzard

Her description of her spa visit sounds like kidnapping/abduction to me.

[sweetcakesmaria]

You hit the nail on the head. This whole scenario should be investigated because by Mrs Jackson description of this incident, an abduction definitely occurred.

this is the most fake melodramatic "family" I've ever seen. Jacko wasn't the only wacko around there

The greedy children are attempting to do whatever necessary to see that this grandmother is removed as the primary caregiver for Michael Jacksons children. I'm betting on his children to see beyond whatever is going on behind the scenes by his siblings to ensure that their grandmother is not dismissed as their primary guardian. It is so pathetic that this family who has endured so much and has received so much as a result of Michael's death, could be so selfish and so divided as to presume they are entitled to his accumulated wealth since his passing. His children appear to be very strong, capable young people who will, hopefully, be able to maneuver their way through the maze of unloving, uncaring and despicable relatives that they are, unfortunately, faced with dealing with in the future.
