OMG
Joe Jackson did not simply discipline his children with a belt when they misbehaved. HE FREAKIN ABUSED THEM! There is a difference!
He is abviously detached from MJ and probably his other kids too. How he could stand there and act like he is just another fan remarking about how sad MJ's death proves to me the guy has serious problems. It seems his kids have never been anything more than dollar signs to him.
If his kids were not so talented he would have probably abandoned them or beat at least one of them to death.
I think MJ was guilty of child abuse and he should have been found guilty but I cannot help but feel sorry for his tragic life.
