The Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) is looking into the welfare of Prince Michael I, Paris Michael Katherine and Prince Michael II, who were at home with Jacko when he suffered a serious heart episode.
The children may become the focus of a custody battle if the pop star’s ex-wife Debbie Rowe seeks custody of the two eldest children she gave birth to.
Jacko’s mother, Katherine, has temporary custody of all three children, while Jacko expressed the wish in his will that she should take care of them in the event of his death.
At the weekend Jacko’s brother Jermaine Jackson said the children were taken to view the body upon the advice of a therapist.
It was believed this would help them adjust to the situation and Jermaine said they had done so and were doing well afterward.
The DCFS was alerted after Murray gave Emergency Room personnel a list of medications his patient had been taking.
After Jackson’s death, the children were taken to the Jackson family compound in Encino, California.
The county investigation into the children’s welfare is classified as a Caretaker Absence or Incapacity case.
The children will be interviewed about their lives, including what, if any, exposure they had to any drug use by their famous father.
The investigators will also look into conditions at the Encino house, such as who would care for the children if Katherine is not be available.
The investigation is expected to take a month but could go on longer.
