From The WTF Files: Michael Jackson’s Nephew Buys Stun Gun Online

Things recently took a turn for the crazy in the Jackson household after thirteen-year-old Jafar, one of Jermaine Jackson’s eight children, reportedly bought a stun gun off the Internet. Word on the wire was that he used his cousin Prince Michael, a.k.a. Blanket, as a target.

It’s a news story that really brings the WTF’s.

Let’s back the train up a bit and explain the situation. Michael Jackson’s three children, Paris, Prince Michael and Blanket, have lived with their grandmother, Katherine, since their father’s sudden death last year. Katherine has custody of Michael’s three children, and Jermaine’s children apparently live with her, too.

Katherine’s lawyer, Adam Striesand, went on the record late Tuesday with a statement: the stun gun was confiscated by security before it was ever used – on a human target, that is. Jafar did try the gun out, but on a piece of paper, not his cousin.

“Jafar opened the package in his bathroom and tested it on a piece of paper,” Adam’s statement read. He added that Katherine heard the noise, found the gun and immediately took possession of it.

“Blanket Jackson never saw or heard the taser,” Adam noted. “Neither did Paris Jackson. Prince saw the taser in possession of security. All of the kids are happy, healthy and wonderful, and that is Mrs. Jackson’s only objective and concern.”

Child Services are reportedly investigating the incident.

To me, the thing that sticks out the most to me about this story is the fact that Jafar, thirteen, ordered a stun gun off of the Internet. I mean, that triggers ALL SORTS of alarm bells in my mind. What was a thirteen-year-old boy doing buying a stun gun online? How did he manage to purchase it? Did he use a credit card? Does he have his own credit card? Why does he need a stun gun? He's thirteen!

I heard that he bought a prepaid credit card at the grocery store and used it. I wouldn't have thought of it. I actually can easily see how this could happen. Especially in a house with 11 children.
