As if there is not enough emotional turmoil for Michael Jackson's surviving children, they must be subjected to what could only be called torture. The children are still reeling from the death of their father and uprooted and living with their grandmother, Catherine Jackson, but they are far from at peace. Instead of creating a stable peaceful home for the children, it appears that at least one of the children is the subject of brutal attacks from his own cousin 13-year-old Jaafar, the son of Jermaine Jackson. The Department of Children and Family Services visited Catherine Jackson's home once a report was made that Jaafar had purchased a stun gun. The gun was found and confiscated. However, the question remains whether or not Blanket, Michael's son was the target of torture by this gun.
Stun guns are dangerous, the average voltage of a battery operated stun gun is between 80,000 volts to 300,000, though some stun guns can render up to a maximum of 2,000 electrical volts. Use repeatedly on a child or anyone for that matter it is torture and can even lead to death.
What would cause children to stun each other? Is it revenge, is it because they dislike the child they are stunning or it is because for them it is just "fun." The Department of Children and Family Services are going back to Catherine Jackson's home tomorrow to do an investigation. There are some rumours that a second stun gun may still be hidden in the house.
This kind of child abuse is totally unacceptable and measures have to be taken to make sure Blanket and his siblings are no longer subjected to this kind of physical and emotional torture.
Stun guns are dangerous, one cannot say emphasis this enough. The Montreal Police Force has been hauled under questioning in the taser (stun gun) related death of Quillem Registre in 2007. Registre was said to be hysterical and uncontrollable and the police officers who arrested him tasered him 6 times in one single minute. The subsequent coroner's report indicated that the taser episode was the probable cause of death.
From police activities all over the United States and Canada we know that tasers are not properly used and deaths have occurred. Why then are family members using tasers on each other?
