Katherine Jackson, the mother of the pop superstars Michael and Janet Jackson, was reported missing to authorities on Saturday night, according to reports.
According to CNN, Jackson's lawyer believed she had been traveling with Rebbie Jackson, her daughter. "I'm concerned that she's not safe," Sandra Ribera, the lawyer, said. Jackson is 82.
Michael's three children have lived with Katherine since their father's death in 2009, Ribera said. Ribera added that Katherine had not contacted the grandchildren in a week.
Early Sunday morning, Paris Jackson, Michael's 14-year-old daughter, said the same on Twitter, and asked for the public's help in finding her grandmother.

From CNN:

"I want to reassure everyone (inc all sudden medical experts) that Mother is fine but is resting up in AZ on the orders of a doctor, not us," Jermaine Jackson tweeted.
"This is our mother and her health is paramount. We are not inventing or plotting anything. We are following doctor's advice. Period," he added.
<snip>
Traveling with her was her oldest daughter, Rebbie.
But when Paris, Michael Jackson's 14-year-old daughter, called her aunts Rebbie and Janet over the past several days, she was told each time she could not speak to her, Ribera said.

Jackson's manager Lowell Henry questioned Jermaine Jackson's claim that a doctor ordered her to leave her home and not communicate with her grandchildren.

(17,111 posts)when she couldn't talk to her Grandmother.
Janet, Rebbie, Jermaine,and Tito signed a letter of concern about the advice Katherine Jackson was getting. They said she was being treated badly? Getting bad advice?
LaToya, Marlin and other of the children did not sign the letter. I may not have the groups exactly right.
They need to STOP! Don't they know what this has to be doing to MJ's kids? Who can they trust? I doubt if they will trust too many people in the family anymore.
I think Paris got waaaaaay pissed and went off the reservation, and the others didn't expect that? They filed a missing person's report and LA Homicide is investigating. Katherine left to go to a concert and never showed up??

(4,982 posts)...Jermaine claimed that she went to a spa in AZ per some doctor's orders - and everyone has been out of touch w/ her for a week or so. Paris called but Janet et al refused to allow her to speak w/ KJ. If it's some sort of retreat thing, those usually won't allow phone calls, internet devices, interruptions. But seems like they would have told the kids/family, etc if she was going off by herself like that. It's very strange.

(26,181 posts)They want his money ie his kids' money and control of his kids ie Michael Jackson's money. Props to the ones who didn't sign.
How is this not kidnapping and elder abuse??? She is those children's LEGAL GUARDIAN, and she is being kept from them.
I also don't think Paris would do this. Her anger at the nastygram has been all over TMZ, Celebitchy, etc. At this point, when Katharine dies, their best place may be with her and her brother's biological mother, with a GAL overseeing everything, until they turn 18.

(17,111 posts)She is not a meek and mild flower. I think she is determined to find out where her grandmother is and go get her.

(12,607 posts)and not say/email/tweet - something - anything - to their children.
Also, if Mrs. Jackson was on a retreat on not going to be in touch with the children, she would have told them ahead of time.
Something fishy going on with that crazy family.

(26,181 posts)They want control of Michael Jackson's money... and kids. His daughter Paris has been very vocal about how they are attacking her grandmother.
The timing of this is very creepy and very scary. She is also the only thing between her grandkids and all the vultures.
On edit: Rebbie also is one of her kids wanting control of Michael's kids and money -- they are contesting the will.
