While it was later clarified that Katherine Jackson, the children's grandmother, was not kidnapped but had taken a medical vacation- T.J. Jackson was still appointed as the temporary legal guardian of the children. The guardianship was appointed on Wednesday during an emergency hearing in which T.J. stated that he believed his aunts and uncles had purposely sent Katherine away according to Mail Online.
T.J. Jackson also had the support of Kim Kardashian, his former love, who vouched for TJ's affection towards the kids.
During a June interview on "Oprah's Next Chapter" Kim Kardashian surprised many by admitting that she had lost her virginity when she was only 14. It was later revealed that the man she spoke of was T.J., whom she had dated for two years.
Kardashian attested to friends that TJ had a "father-like" relationship with Michael's kids, adding, "He's a very honest and trustworthy person and everyone knows he'll do the right thing," according to TMZ.
Katherine, who returned to her Los Angeles home to discover that the children had been temporarily taken out of her care, expressed disappointment but also stated that she knew the children would be fine.
