Michael Jackson’s Dad Tried to Get Him Sectioned

Michael JacksonMichael Jackson’s dad tried to get the superstar sectioned last year — because he knew the tragic singer’s drug addiction would kill him.

Jackson, 50, died June 25 after suffering an apparent cardiac arrest at his rented home in Los Angeles. While the world is still waiting to read the toxicology reports, it is widely believed his death was caused by a drugs overdose.

But before Michael’s tragic demise, Joe Jackson apparently tried to stage an intervention and get the singer into a psychiatric rehabilitation center.

“Joe was trying to save his son’s life by getting him help,” family friend Geraldine Hughes told Britain’s News Of The World newspaper. “He knew more than anyone else the extent of Michael’s drug problems.

“One day he barged in on Michael who was clearly on drugs. Joe phoned me expressing his
concerns and that he wanted to take action.

“In the U.S. you can get a court order to make the person in trouble get help.

“Joe felt he needed the backing of the family — but everyone refused, insisting Michael was okay. I believe this is why he died in the end.”

    Joe is just money grubbin. He was mean to all his boys if the truth be known. They were just a ticket out of the work force for him. He is just mad because he can’t use Michael anymore. Just like LaToya she stood and told reporters that she couldn’t stand by Michael and his abuse of chrildren, then said it was her hubby that made her say it. Most of the Jacksons are money hounds and their little squirel is gone.
