T.J. Jackson Debunks Claim That Blanket Is Living By Himself: ‘No Kid Under My Care Will Ever Be Left Alone’
Michael Jackson’s youngest son, 15-year-old Blanket Jackson, is the subject of some concerning rumors. The New York Post’s Page Six claims he is basically living alone in a seven-bed, 11-bath California mansion without a guardian. According to an anonymous source, the Post writes, “there’s no one to make sure he’s even eating right. If you call a bowl of cereal or a Snickers bar a meal, then I guess he’s OK.”
Blanket’s 86-year-old grandmother Katherine Jackson is his legal co-guardian, but reportedly hasn’t seen him in more than three months. Blanket’s day reportedly consists of class at his private high school, two hours of martial arts practice and a ton of video games. His two older siblings are very busy with their own lives. Paris is currently pursuing a modeling and acting career, while Prince is in college at Loyola Marymount University.
The children’s uncle, T.J. Jackson, is Blanket’s other court-appointed co-guardian who reportedly takes turns with his wife to look after the teen. However, they live about 40 minutes away from Blanket’s Calabasas mansion. But he vehemently denies that Blanket isn’t being cared for writing, “No kid under my care will ever be left alone. Love and Peace!”

With that said, there are over 100 million abandoned & lost children out there. Let's respect it's a serious issue needing attention. #Love

Negativity will always sell. But there should be a higher level of fact check when you bring in a child. @PageSix @YahooCelebrity #tabloids
