Judge orders inquiry into Paris Jackson's well-being

A judge overseeing the guardianship of Michael Jackson's children has ordered an inquiry into Paris Jackson's well-being after the 15-year-old washospitalized earlier this week.

Court records show Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff ordered an investigator on Thursday to look into Paris Jackson's health, education and welfare. The order came a day after Jackson was taken by ambulance from her home to a Los Angeles-area hospital after an apparent suicide attempt.

Beckloff ordered a similar inquiry last year after Michael Jackson's mother and guardian of his three children was out of touch for several days. That led to the singer's nephew, TJ Jackson, being appointed a co-guardian for Paris and her brothers, Prince and Blanket.

An attorney for Michael Jackson's mother, Katherine Jackson, says he and other attorneys handling the guardianship completely support Beckloff's inquiry.

Earlier this week, the attorney said Paris was "physically fine and is getting appropriate medical attention."

Paris, who's active on Twitter, wrote a few tweets leading up to the incident, including one in which she quoted the Beatles' classic, "Yesterday": "yesterday , all my troubles seemed so far away now it looks as though they're here to stay."
