Michael Jackson has, and continues, to take a lot of hits in the press for his interactions with kids. However, a journalist, Jamie Foster Brown, who traveled with MJ and his kids to Japan last month, is outspoken in his support for Michael’s parenting skills.

Brown, publisher of Sister 2 Sister mag, which refers to itself as ‘devoted to the world of black entertainment’ traveled with Michael and his entourage chronicling the trip to japan for it’s current issue. Brown had nothing but good things to say about the family. He reports that the children; Prince who is now unbelievably 10 years old, middle sis Paris who is 9 and the “baby” of the family ‘Blanket’ who is 5 are awesome, well behaved and incredibly well - spoken. None of this will come as a surprise to fans.

While indoors, the children were treated ‘normally,’ only wearing veils when outside. “They were walking around me, and we were taking pictures without (their veils) - they were very loose. But when they did go outside, they put the scarves around the children’s faces.”

Jamie said that Michael “seemed to be a good parent. More so than most of us!” He continued “I just noticed also how nice the kids were. They’re not privileged at all. They have a lot of fun with (Michael.) They’re intelligent, extremely well-spoken, and they like to play jokes.”
