Paris Jackson Inquiry After ‘Suicide Attempt’

The teenager’s health, education and welfare will be scrutinised by an investigator on the orders of a Supreme Court judge.

A judge has ordered an inquiry into Paris Jackson’s well-being as she recovers in hospital following an apparent suicide attempt.

Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff who is overseeing the guardianship of Michael Jackson’s three children ordered an investigator on Thursday to look into the 15-year-old’s health, education and welfare and recommend whether any changes are necessary, according to court records.

The order came a day after Paris was taken by ambulance on a stretcher from the Jackson family home in Calabasas, California, to hospital.

Authorities have said they were sent to her home after receiving a call of a possible overdose, but have not released any further details.

“There have been communications between the court and counsel and we’re completely supportive of the court’s actions,” Perry Sanders Jr, the attorney for Paris’s grandmother Katherine Jackson, said.

He went on to say that Paris is physically well and receiving appropriate medical treatment.

Paris and her two brothers, Prince and Blanket, went to live with their grandmother Katherine following their father’s sudden death in 2009.

Judge Beckloff issued a similar inquiry into the well-being of all three children last year after an incident in which Katherine was out of communication with them for several days.

The Jackson family matriarch had been taken by some of her children to a resort in Arizona, prompting an agreement that led to another guardian being temporarily instated.

Tito Jackson’s son, TJ, was appointed co-guardian over the children.

“This is standard protocol in a high profile case,” his attorney Charles Shultz wrote in an email. “The court is doing what we fully expected the court to do.”

The report of the first inquiry has not been made public, although Judge Beckloff has stated that he believes Katherine has been doing a good job of raising her son’s children.

The new inquiry requires an investigator to prepare a report that similarly only Judge Beckloff will be allowed to review.
