Jacksons Deny, Downplay Blanket Stun Gun Incident
A lawyer for Katherine Jackson is electrocuting reports that Jermaine Jackson's teenage son, Jaafar, allegedly tried to harm Michael Jackson's youngest kid.
The L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services visited the Jacksons home amid rumors that Jaafar ordered a stun gun online to taser Blanket.
But the family insists it was all overblown.
"Blanket Jackson never saw or heard the stun gun," says attorney Adam Streisand in a statement released to the media last night. "Neither did Paris Jackson."
"Prince (Michael's oldest son, not to be confused with Blanket, who is also Prince) saw the stun gun in the possession of security. There is no second stun gun."
BLANKET STATEMENT: The Jacksons deny he was in danger.
A rep for the DCFS declined to comment at this time.
Streisand says Jaafar, who lives with mother Alejandra at the home, ordered a stun gun online two weeks ago and opened the package alone in his bathroom.
"Mrs. Jackson and security heard the sound coming from the second floor," the lawyer says. "Immediately, security went upstairs and confiscated the stun gun."
"Mrs. Jackson took control over it and then had it removed from the house. There was no other incident. All of the kids are happy, healthy and wonderful."
"That is always Mrs. Jackson's only objective and concern."
We can only hope that's true ... and Jafaar is grounded.

Was it a stun gun or a TASER? They are NOT the same thing. A TASER deploys darts to stun and also can stun with direct contact without the darts. A stun gun can only stun with direct contact.

Prince Paris and Blanket are not being used as meal tickets if they were they would have been performing on stage. ( Don't give Joespeh any ideas)Katherine was left money in Michael's will herself without the kids she still would have it. Michael loved and was extremely close to his mom she helped him alot when he was alone in the world throughout his life by being in the spotlite from the J5 days to his solo career. I am ot surprised one bit wants his children raised by him and it is his choice. The kids are happy feel at home and safe there.
Jaafar did a stupid and bad thing. But we only know about it cuz his last name is Jackons and lives in the home with Michael's kids.
We don't know what role Debbi is playing in there lives, We are not part of it. She was a stranger to the kids last summer and was granted time to get to spend and get to know Prince and Paris. If she were in it for money she could have fought harder. She cares enough about their baby brother Blanket to want

NOw the world knows how messed up things are in the Jacksons House.I thought Debbie Rowe should have taken her kids in after thier father died. Seh lives alot more normal life than the Jacksons. It would be best to remove the kids from the Elder Ms Jackson. Just when the kids are realy attached to her she well die. So then who cares for them? They should not be raised by hired help like they are now. Debbie Rowe hasnt been seen oncee over ther even visting so I dought she even cares whats going on. She hides her headin the sand. Also the kids are being forced to be Jovias witness and that is an Ocult that makes its memebrs go door to door selling stuff for the churh. There is alot of wrong things going on with Mj;s kids right now.The Jacksons also tell bold face lies. I hope the kids are removed from that crazy house.
They desrve better than to be treted as meal tickets for the Jakson clan and then stunned with taser gun!
