Stun gun 'never used on Jackson kids'

A lawyer for Michael Jackson’s mother said today the late singer’s children were never exposed to a stun gun sent to the family’s home.

Adam Streisand said child services workers were investigating, but the stun gun, ordered by one of Jermaine Jackson’s teenage sons, was confiscated before any harm was done.

He said the weapon was not used on any of the late pop superstar’s three young children and only Michael Jackson’s oldest son, Prince, saw the stun gun after it was taken by security.

Mr Streisand says one of Jermaine Jackson’s sons had ordered the stun gun online and tested it out on a piece of paper.

Jackson’s mother Katherine is the guardian of Michael’s three children, aged from eight to 13. The 50-year-old singer died last June.
