Blanket Jackson’s guardianship transferred to his sibling now!
Katherine who acted Blanket’s guardian until now has appealed on giving up on it as she states that there’s no longer any need for her to be the 15-year-old’s guardian. Both Paris and Prince are adults now, but Katherine says because Blanket has reached his adolescence TJ can handle guardianship on his own.
Katherine also points on her age, 87, as a reason she’s stepping down. Blanket’s cousin TJ Jackson is appointed the responsible guardian of the minor child. It is still not clear if the decision is approved by the court.
The siblings are very close to each other. In an interview with Today show Prince said “Me and my siblings get along really well — especially my sister,” He added “She’s grown so much and she’s been able to really step up. I don’t really see myself as her older brother.”
Further on his sibling’s bond Jackson adds “We’re equal partners when it comes down to it. B.G. is just so mature for his age. It’s a pretty strong bond.” His brother prince has also started a foundation to help foster children named Heal Los Angeles.
