Re: Paris Jackson Possible Suicide Attempt Rushed to Hospital SHE IS OK
Yes that is a good point. Also they tend to send you back to the medical facility that you generally go to, so if most of her dr's are there they tend to send you there after the emergency period is over. Since she is not going home yet, I am getting the impression that they are taking this seriously now and want continued evaluation.
yes, I agree, it's good news that she is still there, on a voluntary basis.
I agree, bottomline, it's what Paris wants.
Errr ...I'll disagree.. Paris tried to kill herself, she can't think properly at the moment, and that's why she called a suicide hotline. And suicide is a traumatic event for everyone around her. So basically now they have to take care of Paris of course, she will be the main focus, but also Prince and Blanket, and possibly Katherine & Debbie as well, Taj, and nannies, whoever is close to the kids.
So, what is best for Paris is not necessarily what she wants. That's why I said earlier that the "solution" can not come from any of the people that I cited above, it's better for everyone that someone from outside the family, with the experience of teen suicide, deals with it. So basically it's good that it is taken serioulsy from a medical point of view, that the judge got involved and possibly DCFS. They will work on a solution that will hopefully work for everyone. They need to go to the bottom of this, no one wants to read the same thing about Blanket in 3 or 4 years.
I said before I don't want to comment on Paris's reasons to do what she did, and I don't want to point the finger either. I read what you guys write though, and that's interesting, there are good points made.
The only thing I think is safe to say, is that Paris wants her daddy, and probably no one else. I think she was hit harder by his death than the avarage kid who loses a parent. Her dad meant the world to her.
You can see it in the bashit doc, when she was 4 or 5, and wouldn't let go of his hand at the mall and at the hotel. Then someone said at the AEG trial that she had pictures of Michael in her purse, she was 11. Raymone Bain said that she was Michael's nr 1 fan and would buy her dad's cds , she was 8. You don't hear these stories about Prince. It doesn't mean that Prince doesn't love his dad, he does, but he is probably more independant in that regard than Paris.
Then after he died, Paris had all these pictures on her wall. According to the questions Paris answered for the AEG trial, La Toya apparently told her that she would "get to the bottom of who killed her dad", probably entertaining some sort of conspiracy theory. I can understand that it can be a reaction due to the shock of Michael's death, so I don't want to point the finger, but that's not the smartest thing to do to a grieving person, especially a kid, especially Paris. Someone posted earlier tweets from Paris where she was talking about the Illuminati and secret societies & a hidden meaning of "they don't care about us'. This tells me she could have been searching the internet and read theories about her dad's death.
Her last tweet were the lyrics of "yesterday".
Bottomline of what I'm saying, I think she hasn't coped with he dad's death. She's probably still very angry about it, looking for answers. Pain and anger could have been the roots of all sorts of behaviors : being difficult, getting in trouble with people at school, rejecting authority, looking too much for recognition & tweeting too much, wanting to go into showbiz because she practiced acting with Michael, etc..
I don't agree with everything the Jacksons do, far from it, and some of you have good points in this thread, but I don't feel comfortable pointing the finger because dealing with teenagers is hard enough, and a teen in her situation is probably very hard.
But I don't want to end this post on a sad note. If Paris called that hotline, it means she wants to get better. She did not count on anyone else to get help, she did it herself. It tells me she knows she has a problem, she took the steps to deal with it and get the proper help, and now she'e getting it. She's a fighter , Michael did a good job with her, I'm confident she'll recover completely and have a happy life, she'll learn from this experience.
