Children and Family Services called in after Jermaine Jackson’s son obtains stun gun in home where Michael Jackson’s children live. By Gil Kaufman Michael Jackson Photo: Sony The Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services concluded a six-hour investigation at the Jackson family compound in Encino, California, on Tuesday after reports surfaced that one of Jermaine Jackson’s sons, Jaafar, was in possession of a stun gun in the same home where Michael Jackson’s three young children live. According to TMZ , DCFS workers first arrived on Monday night after a tip that 13-year-old Jaafar was playing with a stun gun at the home. But despite earlier reports, the lawyer for Katherine Jackson, Adam Streisand, insisted that neither of Michael’s boys, Blanket, 8, and Prince Michael, 13, were in the room with Jaafar when he was playing with the stun gun. Unnamed sources told TMZ that social workers interviewed all the children in the house, including Michael’s three kids, as well as other family members and staff, and that the plan was to return to the residence on Wednesday (March 3) for further questioning. There was reportedly some dispute about the timeline of when Jaafar obtained the stun gun. Some staffers said the teen had it for several days before a security staffer allegedly stumbled upon him playing with it and pointing it at Blanket and Prince, while Streisand said that it was in his possession for just a few minutes before being confiscated and that no other children were in harm’s way. According to a statement from Streisand , Jaafar ordered what he termed a “taser” online, and it was delivered to the compound two weeks ago. The lawyer said Jaafar opened the package alone in a bathroom and then “tested it on a piece of paper.” After Katherine and members of the security staff heard the sound, they confiscated the device. The statement claimed that Katherine removed the taser from the home, but TMZ claimed it was still there when DCFS arrived and confiscated it. “Blanket Jackson never saw or heard the stun gun,” Streisand said. “Neither did Paris Jackson. Prince saw the stun gun in the possession of security.” He added, “All of the kids are happy, healthy and wonderful and that is Mrs. Jackson’s only objective and concern.” Michael’s three children have been in the custody of their grandmother since the singer’s death in June. The manufacturer of the pocket-sized Scorpion stun gun that is reportedly at the center of the probe said it is the smallest, most powerful single-battery unit on the market, capable of delivering a 300,000-volt jolt.
