I think of it like this...Everyone knows those are Michael's kids. Yes, they are probably the most famous children in the world right now, but in a way, they are the most protected. I think exposing them on such a massive scale was the best thing that could have been done. Besides, they couldn't be hidden forever. But let me explain.From videos we have seen, when those children are out and about, no one is bothering them directly. They're not mobbed from all directions with flash photography in their faces. Even if there is paparazzi, they can never get very close. If they ever actually got the chance, the family entourage or any truly concerned person in the vicinity would jump in front of them like that! That connection to the public has been made..think of the touching speeches the two eldest children have made. Also the webcam videos, whether they were meant to be leaked or not. It's business. It's building familiarity and trust - a public fondness for them - a desire to see them happy and "normal". (I think this especially applies to Paris: the world is practically praying she doesn't end up like Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus, etc...though, I'm sure she's smart enough to never even think about going down that route!)Remember the public outrage at Jermaine and his kids when the stun gun incident came about? It's all about image. If they are seen often as being adorable, innocent kids (aka good press), they are safe. Think of the world like a concerned parent for them: the public (MJ fans especially) will riot if anything serious happens to those kids! I hope I explained it well enough! Don't worry about a thing.
I believe thats these videos were supposed to be leaked as part of restoring MJ's public image before his return. At one point in this video, you can see microphones on the kids shirts. One would wonder what that was for. This has been edited beautifully, to include everything positive about Michael, but to still arouse some contraversey....regarding the paternity of his kids. MJ is a genious. He did enjoy some attention, good or bad. As always, with L.O.V.E xoxoxo[youtube:2djfo9fx]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44hr0ISXWds&feature=related[/youtube:2djfo9fx]

Don't worry about a thing. a kind of it takes a village approach: as a matter of fact have we seen them in a while? we hear about them but have we seen them?
