Michael Jackson's abusive father Joe: Still selfish and egotistical (video)

Michael Jackson's father Joe Jackson was a brute of a man who bullied his children and now has some of his grandchildren living under his roof. Joe used physical and emotional abuse to force Michael and his siblings to perform. Many say that he drove Michael to become what he became, both positive and negative. Yet, Joe Jackson was never prosecuted or even investigated for the abuse that all his children acknowledged occurred.
Instead Joe Jackson appeared on the red carpet and in the front row at Sunday's BET Awards ceremony, which were restructured to commemorate the life of Michael Jackson. At a time when most parents would be isolated in mourning, Joe Jackson was taking credit for his son's contributions while promoting his own projects.
This is not the type of man who should be honored. It would have been more appropriate for him to watch the ceremonies from behind bars. Even more bizarre is the fact that Joe and his wife Katherine have become the temporary guardians for Michael's three children Price, Paris and Prince Michael II (Blanket).
In response to that situation, Joe said,
"We're the parents. This is where they belong. We're going to take care of them and give them the education they're supposed to have."
What kind of education will that be? The same as Michael and his siblings received on the business end of Joe's strap? Where is Children's Protective Services in this high profile situation?
And why haven't Michael's brothers and sisters come forward to protect his children. They have direct experience of Joe's "parenting skills."
May all children receive the love and nurturing that the deserve so that they grow up joyful and able to pass that love and joy onto their children and all humankind.
