A Mistake?
Michael Jackson did all he could to keep his children away from the public eye. That’s more than most celebrities can say about their behavior with their’s. And some, such as Jon and Kate from TLC, seem to just be using their children to obtain celebrity status. But now there is concern that allowing Paris Jackson to be unmasked was a bad idea. Will this one incident undo all that Jackson tried for in an effort to give his children a normal life?
Some argue that what Michael did to keep his children unknown was too extreme. But after all we’ve seen with children dealing with the media, were his actions really that bad? Something as invasive as media attention can really hurt a child’s development. I’m sure just reading this you’ve already thought of at least 3 incidents of children who grew up in the spotlight, then as adults completely lost it.
Only time will tell if Paris’ heartfelt speech will cause any media uproars, or result in paparazzi stalkings. Perhaps, for once, the press can just back off and let three children mourn their father. Then continue their lives as children, free to grow up with out being constantly hounded.
